Obama Enigma
Osama Bin Laden sleeps with the fishes.
Under President Obama’s orders to go mano a mano, Navy Seals shot and killed the Evil One in cold blood. His Miranda rights were not read and he won’t be tried in a civilian court. His corpse was thrown on a helicopter and flown to a ship in the Arabian Sea where it was dumped overboard. All well and good.
But hard to square with a president who wanted Gitmo closed, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed tried in Manhattan, and considered prosecuting CIA interrogators to show the superiority of American justice. On the other hand, Obama has blown over 1500 terror suspects to smithereens.
In a display of respect, bin Laden’s body was washed and prepared for burial according to Islamic custom. His demise will not be verified by photos because “that’s not who we are… we don’t trot out this stuff as trophies”.
That won’t wash with the Muslim world.
Cave Dweller
It turns out bin Laden’s cave was in a million dollar compound, in the resort town of Abbottabad, about 800 yards from Pakistan’s military academy.
Holy Smoke
Pyro Pastor Terry Jones torches a Quran in Florida and 20 people die in Afghanistan. It’s a miracle! No, wait, it’s a mob. Here’s General Petraeus:
“Every security force leader’s worst nightmare is being confronted by essentially a mob, if you will, especially one that can be influenced by individuals that want to incite violence, who want to try to hijack passions, in this case, perhaps understandable passions,”
Hope pastor Jones can’t draw Muhammad cartoons.
He’s a Reformer not a Divider
The eyes have it for yet another toes up cartoon.
When asked why the Obama Doctrine of saving innocent lives, doesn’t apply to the opthamologist turned Syrian dictator, Bashar al- Assad, Sec of State Hillary praised him as a reformer.
Libya Leadership
Even Eugene Robinson is bewildered by the Libya Mission.
So what the hell are we doing? I realize that President Obama and his advisers have answered this question many times, but I feel it’s necessary to keep asking until the answers begin to make sense.
