Administration halts prosecution of alleged USS Cole bomber
Washington Compost ^ | 8/27/10 | Peter Finn

Posted on 08/27/2010 6:16:50 AM PDT by teddyballgame

The Obama administration has shelved the planned prosecution of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the alleged coordinator of the Oct. 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, according to a court filing.

The decision at least temporarily scuttles what was supposed to be the signature trial of a major al-Qaeda figure under a reformed system of military commissions. And it comes practically on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the attack, which killed 17 sailors and wounded dozens when a boat packed with explosives ripped a hole in the side of the warship in the port of Aden.

I just spoke with Gloria Clodfelter for about half an hour. She is genuinely pissed, as she should be. I've invited her here and hope she can join us.

Hi, Gloria. Kenneth will not be forgotten.

0bama is going to be humiliated one day. And he won’t like it. Narcissists are extremely sensitive and he’s in for one hell of a shock.

Would Clinton have been reelected if the economy hadn't gotten so much better -- because of the Republican Congress from 1994?"

I say this all the time - but, Clinton wouldn't have been reelected, and wouldn't have been as popular as he was at the end if it were not for two people - Bill Gates and Andy Grove. Those two men are more responsible than anyone in any branch of government for the roaring 90s. It was their technological advancements that drove productivity to the levels it reached; Levels that were previously unattainable because of technological limitations.

The economy was actually growing at a decent pace when Clinton assumed office as the recession had ended before the summer of 1992. Economists just hadn't realized it, and neither had main street, which is why Clinton got elected in the first place - that and Ross Perot.

Having said all that - Newt Gingrich did provide Clinton with a convenient boogieman or foil. So yes, the Gingrich revolution did help Clinton - it allowed him to move toward the middle, and Clinton was smart enough to do it. I don't think Obama is - I really don't.

From the article:

"In a filing this week in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the Justice Department said that "no charges are either pending or contemplated with respect to al-Nashiri in the near future."

Just think how bad it would be if Obama REALLY was a mooslim...

-Prayer rugs in the Offal Office
-No toilet paper in government buildings
-A lot of really STRANGE holidays
-A tent city set up on the WH lawn
-A veiled Big Foot seen lurking around (oh, that’s Michelle)
-Camel dung in the halls of Congress (oops...already there & we voted’em in)

I can't take much more of these daily outrages.

Every day this admin is sticking us in the belly with a sharp stick. They want retaliation. I am ready.

Its in what was America where the muslims are VERY supportive - even more so than American Jews.

Seems like there should be something wrong with that statement doesn’t it?

Clinton’s hubris mistake was Waco ... Obama’s hubris mistake is destined to be of Biblical proportion.

“Obama is very popular with the Muslims.”

Obama is very popular with terrorists that murder Americans.

There, fixed it.

I don’t think he is a PRACTICING Muslim. But I do think that he sees that Muslim hate America as much as he does and therefore he sympathizes with them and thinks of them as allies.

It’s obvious he wants to undo everything that’s held this nation’s security and economy together. He talks one thing but always does another.

At this rate, why this piecemeal stuff? It’s clear he’s going to do what he wants anyway - just release all terrorist prisoners, skip the trials, lose the election, and be impeached and prosecuted for the treasonous crimes against this country he has blatantly committed. He’s turned young against old, black against white, Main St. against Wall St., illegals against citizens, christians against Muslims. He’s ruining this nation for everyone, conservatives, independents and even liberals - he has become the enemy, and an effective one.
