We have heard rumors that the Obama regime is in negotiations with the Taliban for awhile now, and if this report if true it would look as if the United States is doing more than simply negotiating with these killers. Because the Taliban fighters are so trustworthy, the Obama regime might be releasing them as a good faith gesture in the negotiations on the promise that they will behave themselves once they are free.
The “strategic release” program of high-level detainees is designed to give the US a bargaining chip in some areas of Afghanistan where international forces struggle to exercise control, the report said.
Under the risky program, the hardened fighters must promise to give up violence and are threatened with further punishment, but there is nothing to stop them resuming attacks against Afghan and American troops.
What is the worst that could happen? We know the answer to that question, and so does the Obama regime:
Everyone agrees they are guilty of what they have done and should remain in detention. Everyone agrees that these are bad guys. But the benefits outweigh the risks,” a US official told the Post
There isn’t even a question of guilt here, the government admits these people are guilty of attacks on American soldiers and the risks that this government official is talking about is the lives of American soldiers, how callous is that statement? This would be akin to the government letting guns walk into Mexico knowing lives would be lost in an attempt to…..whoops, nevermind.
This news comes just days after Dianne Feinstein admitted that the Taliban has grown stronger since Barack Obama took office, but what she failed to state is the fact that this could be due in large part to the fact that Barack Obama is releasing them on personal recognizance .
Leon Panetta crafted a memo to deflect the blame in the event the Osama bin Laden raid failed
Using the first anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden as a means to show his leadership skills Barack Obama has literally traveled across the globe to let everyone who would listen know how courageous he was for making the call to kill the terrorist leader. He has not been bashful when it comes to taking credit–I ordered the attack, I acted on the intelligence, I made the tough call, I did this, I did that–but a true leader is defined by how he handles failure.
Barack Obama doesn’t handle failure very well, hell he has blamed everything from George W Bush to earthquakes to ATM machines for his failed economic policies, but he hasn’t accepted blame for his failure on this issue–in fact he joked about shovel ready jobs nor be as shovel ready as he had expected.
So it should come as no surprise that while Barack Obama was more than willing to take credit for Osama bin Laden’s killing he was less than enthusiastic about accepting the blame if the mission had failed, and now we have learned that Barack Obama had a memo crafted which could be used to clear him of any wrongdoing in the event that the mission went badly.
Video: Obama’s way forward
Below is a video I found at Bunkerville which I thought everyone should see so I have decided to share it here. Bunkerville points out something that I didn’t know: Barack Obama just happened to kick off his campaign on Karl Marx’s birthday and coupled with the fact that Obama’s campaign slogan–Forward–is also a famous communist slogan one has to believe that this isn’t simply an incredible coincidence.
Below is a speech which I found at The Right Scoop that Allen West made at the Lincoln Day Dinner and I had to share it because it is just that good. I can not do this speech justice with my words so I will leave it to Allen West to speak for me. The video is about twenty minutes long but I implore everyone to please watch it because this is one politician who gets it.
The Right Scoop calls this the most incredible speech ever, and taking into account that Allen West quotes one of my heroes, General Stonewall Jackson, I would be hard-pressed to disagree.
The biggest problem that many conservatives have with Mitt Romney is the fact that he is a fake and a phony with no core or true political beliefs other than the fact he believes he deserves to be president. This has many conservatives worried that Mitt Romney will say or do whatever it takes to win the presidency and nobody can really be sure how he will govern if elected–after all, this is the man who once ran to the left of Ted Kennedy and if the political winds change at any time during his presidency it is likely he will be swept right up into them instead of standing firm against them.
We got a little confirmation of our worries by a highly unlikely source in one of Mitt Romney’s top level campaign aides, Eric Fehrnstrom, who compared the Republican nominee to an Etch-A-Sketch which could be shaken up during the general campaign in order to give Romney a blank slate from which to work. Mitt Romney’s clarification did not help to clear things up, in my opinion, when he stated he was “running as a conservative.” He didn’t say he was a conservative, simply that he was running as one. A very interesting choice of words, don’t you think?
So conservatives have been hoping that the Republican primary version of Mitt Romney was the real Mitt Romney–and have been hoping that Ann Coulter’s laughable assertion that Romney tricked Massachusetts liberals into voting for him was actually true–and have been holding their breath each time he speaks hoping that he will remain true to conservative values.
Sadly we may have just gotten our first hint that Mitt Romney might be stringing the conservatives along after all.
The more that Elizabeth Warren tries to prove that she is in fact part Native-American the deeper she digs the hole, and to be honest it is getting to be quite entertaining. Her campaign has stated that her great-great-great-grandmother is part Native-American and this makes her 1/32 Native-American but genealogists at the New England Historic Genealogical Society have not been able to find any proof of this claim.
In light of this lack of proof Elizabeth Warren offered as evidence the fact that her family used to sit around the dinner table and discuss their Native-American roots, but not surprisingly this proof has not been taken seriously by too many people so today she offered as proof the fact that one of her relatives described her grandfather as having had “high cheekbones like all of the Indians do.”
She basically is using a racial stereotype as proof of her heritage by stating that all Indians have certain traits which distinguish them from other races. (All Indians with the apparent exception of Elizabeth Warren) Wouldn’t this be akin to a person stating as proof they were part black because they had a nappy headed relative? Or offering as proof that you are part Jewish because a relative had a hooked nose? These are also stereotypes and they are rightfully frowned upon in today’s civilized society and yet Elizabeth Warren has no qualms about using this type of epithet as proof of her heritage and I find this to be quite telling indeed and it should be considered offensive. I guess the same rules do not apply to Elizabeth Warren.
Oh, and by the way, isn’t the term “Indian” not politically correct when speaking of someone with Native-American roots–just saying…..
Keep digging Lizzy, you will bury yourself in the hole you are digging.
Now that the Obama regime has declared the war on terror to be over Leon Panetta can focus his attention of the real threat endangering our country–global warming.
Leon Panetta spoke in front of an environmental group and said this:
The area of climate change has a dramatic impact on national security,” Panetta told the Environmental Defense Fund last night. “Rising sea levels, severe droughts, the melting of the polar caps, the more frequent and devastating natural disasters all raise demand for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief
There you have it, with al Qaeda and the Taliban out of the way and no longer a threat to the nation because Barack Obama said so the United States can now turn its attention away from those silly little terrorists and focus on an issue that really interests the president; restricting the liberties and freedoms of American citizens, and attacking the industries which keep America moving. And apparently the Department of Defense is on board.
Scott Brown’s most likely opponent in the November election is a white woman named Elizabeth Warren who has recently come under attack for claiming she was a Native-American when she enrolled herself in law school directories.
Harvard University has used Elizabeth Warren as an example of their racial and gender diversity when the university was fending off accusations that school staff were mainly white males, yet Elizabeth Warren continues to deny she claimed she was a minority to help advance her career.
Today she attempted to explain why she claimed she was a minority and this is what she said:
“I listed myself in the directory in the hopes that it might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon, a group something that might happen with people who are like I am. Nothing like that ever happened, that was clearly not the use for it and so I stopped checking it off
She simply wanted to meet people who were like her and maybe have lunch with them. The thought that liberal policies such as affirmative action might help her–as a listed minority–get her a job never occurred to this liberal. It was a simple misunderstanding and it only took her 10 years of not being invited to hang out with other Native-Americans at lunchtime to realize that it wasn’t working, so she then stopped claiming minority status. Of course, by the time she stopped calling herself a minority her minority status had already helped her advance her career. What a coincidence!
Gunrunner: Darrell Issa takes first formal step toward charging Eric Holder with Contempt of Congress
It has been all too long in the making but Darrell Issa finally made the first formal step in charging Eric Holder with Contempt of Congress for his role in the coverup of Operation Fast and Furious and his stonewalling of the investigation when he distributed his 48 page draft citation to members of the House earlier today.
Here is part of what is contained in the citation:
The documents allege that the Justice Department has issued, “false denials, given answers intended to misdirect investigators, sought to intimidate witnesses, unlawfully withheld subpoenaed documents, and waited to be confronted with indisputable evidence before acknowledging uncomfortable facts.”
“The Justice Department’s demonstrable contempt for the congressional investigation has inflicted harm on the people of two nations seeking the truth – and very pointedly on the family of fallen Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and ATF whistleblowers who now face retaliation in the wake of their own heroic efforts to expose wrongdoing,”
Charles Grassley came out swinging today and issued Eric Holder an ultimatum, we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way:
The Attorney General is facing a real test of leadership here,” Grassley said in a statement. “He has a choice to make. He can force the department to come clean, or he can force a high-stakes political conflict between the legislative and executive branches. It’s past time to hold accountable those public officials responsible for our own government’s role in walking guns into the hands of criminals. The family of Agent Terry deserves more than what they’re getting from this administration
Charles Grassley also had some words of praise for Darrell Issa:
The subpoena authority of the House Oversight Committee, and the Chairman’s willingness to use it, helped shed light on Operation Fast and Furious and the Justice Department’s desire to allow guns to walk into the hands of Mexican drug cartels,” Grassley said. “Congressman Issa deserves credit for moving forward on contempt. The Attorney General and the Justice Department are thumbing their nose at the constitutional authority provided to the legislative branch to conduct oversight
While Darrell Issa deserves all the credit that Charles Grassley is throwing his way, it still remains unclear whether House Leadership (John Boehner) is going to allow Darrell Issa to move this measure forward. I have one message for the man who is supposed to be the leader: if you are unwilling to lead then either follow or get the hell out of the way.
Operation Fast and Furious has the potential to be one of the biggest scandal in the history of the United States and if John Boehner is unwilling to lead on this he is unfit for the title he holds.
