Khalid Sheikh Mohammad to be tried in a military tribunal at GITMO

  In one final admission that President Bush was right all along the Obama regime officially announced that the mastermind of the September 11th attacks–Khalid Sheikh Mohammad–will be tried in a military tribunal held at GITMO. (Is GITMO still open? I thought it was supposed to be closed by now.)

  The Obama regime still will not admit that trying Mohammad in a civilian court in New York was a bad idea, instead trying to place the blame on the Congress for another Obama broken campaign promise. Barack Obama is still trying to deflect the blame for his ill thought out position, but today the Obama regime finally made the right call.

 I happen to agree with this position, but Barack Obama ran on the premise that GITMO was a recruiting tool for al Qaeda and promised to close the detention center within one year of his inauguration. He also claimed that if we were to provide Mohammad with constitutional protections and were to give him a civilian trial it would show the world that we were a morally just nation who holds itself to a higher standard than do those that would attack us.

  But today those theories were officially thrown out the window when the Obama regime reluctantly agreed to carry out President Bush’s policies for dealing with enemy combatants and one has to wonder how the left is going to react to this news. Personally I think that this shows us that Barack Obama’s positions while he was a candidate were naive and politically motivated through ignorance, but I have to believe that the left will be sorely disappointed to learn that Barack Obama now agrees with President Bush and will be unwilling to admit that Barack Obama was wrong and President Bush was right.

  I think this shows us the difference between being the person who has to make the decisions and being the person who can wait for others to make a decision and then automatically take the other side. Barack Obama was telling the left what they wanted to hear while he was a candidate, but as president he has shown that he simply cannot deliver on these irresponsible promises. Still, he cannot help but try to appease the left even as he calls for the military tribunals by trying to place the blame for this decision on the Congress. He is hoping that in doing so he will not lose the support of the far left, but in reality he has nobody to blame but himself because he made a promise that he could not deliver.

  As long as I am giving the Obama regime just a little bit of credit for making the right move–albeit reluctantly and after he realized there were no other options–I might as well give Eric Holder a little bit of credit also, for he finally said something that I agree with when he said the following:

However, he added, justice for the victims of 9/11 has been “long overdue and must not be delayed any further.”

  While Mohammad was a viable and valuable source of information there was no need to rush him to judgement as the United States could use any information that he might have, but he has been in confinement for years and his value disappeared long ago. As such, it is a shame that this man was not brought to justice years ago. Barack Obama might have had to make the final decision on this man’s future but the fact remains that he should have been tried and hanged while President Bush was still in the White House. It is time to bring him to justice once and for all.
