Well, it looks like President Obama has finally decided to take a side in the "Who's it gonna be boy, us or them?" contest of wills between Leon Panetta's Central Intelligence Agency and the rest of the executive (and parts of the Democratic-dominated legislative) branch.
Yesterday's decision by Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor to look into alleged abuses of captured Al Qaeda leaders by CIA interrogators seems to completely contradict President Obama's earlier reassurances of no action to be taken against those CIA employees. At the time, it was clear that polls showed the public had little or no taste for such an investigation.
… But once again, the public's been fooled by an Obama head fake and misdirection maneuver. The President -- with Holder acting as his supernumerary -- can take after the CIA and effectively neutralize it as a potential obstacle in the way of his move to turn the global war on terror into some sort of touchy-feely exercise in liberal do-goodism and "open hand" diplomacy.
… Maybe the biblical observation that "as you sow, so shall you reap" has a bit to do with the CIA's new set of problems with its own preferred president. What a shame, though, that it won't ultimately be either the President or the intelligence agencies that end up eating the fruit of such a reaping. No, in the end it'll be regular Americans in the military and fighting all over the world and it'll also be many an American living in towns and cities, both large and small. How very, very tragic.

All this makes sense if you understand that he’s a Muslim.
Unbelievable. But why should ANYBODY be surprised? He’s running all the far-left plays straight from the pages of the Alinksy handbook.
Yet ANOTHER parallel with that presidential DISASTER of 30 years ago: Jimma Carter — and on the same issue.
Y’all recall this?
Back around 1975, DEMOCRAT (who woulda guessed?) Senator Frank Church held hearings on the operation of the CIA and found that — HORRORS — taxpayer money was being paid to foreign citizen snitches who had CRIMINAL RECORDS for vital human, on-the-ground intel on the activities of those who were planning the destruction of this country. Church commented at one session that “Gentlemen do not read other gentlemens’ mail.” Interesting how Church and his fellow Dimocraps viewed men who would destroy America “gentlemen.” Glad that a**hole didn’t serve during the run-up to WWII. (Although he may have handled the “delayed” communication to Pearl Harbor that the Japanese were on the way!)
When he became president, Jimmy Carter fully supported and enforced the Church Amendment.
The sorts of people who consort with — and, more importantly, get cozy with — the leaders of terrorist organizations are not normally choir boys. Church moved the legislature to PROHIBIT any US funds going to these potential informants. Since it can take upwards of 20 years for these guys to move close enough to the top to be seriously valuable, we had virtually NO humintel on bin Laden’s plans for 9-11!
While there are still Church-like imbeciles (Reid, Pelosi, et al come to mind) at the levers of power here, I THINK the law has been changed.
While the NSA wiretaps and eavesdrops on US citizens HERE, isn’t it comforting to know that in just 15 or 20 years we may be able to thwart a plan hatched THERE for some future 9-11 with information gathered THERE.
Now our guys are required to MERANDIZE enemy combatants NOT wearing uniforms and displaying NO recognizable military patches, etc., etc., all of which, de facto, removes them from the protections afforded under the Geneva Convention. In past conflicts, the Geneva Convention permits the capturing forces to shoot these guys on the spot. Of course, any trooper caught doing that would be up on charges in the morning.
Anybody else see a pattern here?
The morons now “leading” (and I use that term very loosely) the United States have finally achieved something I thought impossible: They’ve tied BOTH our hands behind our backs. They will get MILLIONS of us KILLED before they are removed from office – hopefully in 2010 and 12.
“Whom God would destroy, He first makes mad.”
The MADNESS continues. Surely, our destruction awaits.

And the SS are far outclassed by CIA operatives.
I fear for the Republic.

Like it was yesterday. Amazing how these fools repeat Carter’s history at almost every turn. But I forget...Holder and Obama think Jimmah Cahtah was a GREAT president.
Crack must be real cheap on that street corner outside the White House these days. Because Holder and Obama sure do seem to be smoking a lot of it.
There’s a time bomb in my street,
It ticks and tocks the day,
Everyone can see it,
But no one dares to say.
Pfft, he ain’t Muslim. The dude loves pork.
If there are any patriots left in the CIA, they should be working on the birth certificate/college records situation.
And a communist.
If there are any patriots left in the CIA, they should be destroying records to keep them out of the hands of the enemy. I trust we all know who the enemy is...
Precisely. Well said.

If the republic fails, it is because we didn’t save it.

How do you know this? I’ve watched and I have never seen him eat pork. Besides, he would eat it to make it appear he wasn’t. He’s a Muslim.
