Fast forward a few months... Senate and House hearings into all of this "abuse" has been going on for months (and not much else). Bush and all of his troops stick to their guns, they did it, they meant to do it, and we hope you don't like it.

Somewhere in Liberal La-La land a suitcase nuke goes off, killing thousands. We find out we had info, even suspects in custody before the fact but we were concerned about their "rights" so we couldn't stop the attack.

Liberalism, Pacificism, Appeasement become relics of political history......

Like any important election issues, 0 will stay mum on this issue and let it be “handled” by Pelosi, Reid, Murtha and Frank. After all, it “will not be his idea to pursue all those war criminals” and if that particular cause is lost, he can either throw that bunch under the bus because he didn’t initiate the action, or he can claim victory in getting a conviction because he is President.

Yes, we’ll see how “criminal” his predecessor was when a massive terrorist attack happens on American soil during Obama’s presidency. All of that blood will be on the hands of the fraud egomaniac who lied his way into office and is not even an American citizen.

What the dems cannot accept is that their beloved Clinton was the first president, in US history, to be impeached, and like little children are harboring animosity towards all Republicans.

That's right. Face up to our hideous war crimes that have made us the bully boys of the world.

Any of our clueless politicians that pop up with this pap need to be tarred and feathered.

Better idea. Let's tar and feather them all and run them out of DC on a rail, then dump them in the Potomac.

Pick a benevolent despot and make him the leader.

Typical Liberal lunacy... It is a crime to do everything in your power to protect the lives of Americans....

LOL why bother paying taxes at all. We can’t get financial security and we can’t get personal security out of the government.

When Obama makes all this grand change to Bush policy, what Possibly could he say to Americans after the next terror attack on our soil?

I guess George W. Bush was right... makes him directly Liable for the deaths incurred in fact he should then be charged as accessory to the murder of those innocent Americans on that tragic day. IMPEACH him as soon as he attempts to violate the Constitution with its gurantee that the government exists to protect our Posterity.

“How does he deal with the legacy of criminal actions of his predecessor’s administration when it comes to detention, interrogation, abuse and torture of terror suspects?”

Absolutely none of those so called crimes were done without the full consent of the senate and house intelligence committees. If they go after Bush they have to go after their own as well.

The Roman senate essentially impeached Caesar calling his campaign in Gaul “illegal”. Caeser responded by overthrowing the Republic.

Lefties are playing with fire criminalizing foreign policy.

You’ve got to understand/. Britian, Frqnce, Italy are alll over run with Muslims. Start crictizing Islam and you’ll wind up like Van Goghs nephew did. They’re scared poopless of ‘’offending’’ Muslims.

Yes, their seems to be a connection there between sexual persuasion and in the end (so to speak) the lack of job performance. as if their predispositions (so to speak) made it difficult for them to ascertain the truth in tough times.

It was a statement . And it was horrible . I think he really does not care

No. he doesn't. Anything Obama says right now, on any subject, is basically lipservice. He cannot speak publicly about the things he really cares about. There would be hell to pay. He needs to seize power first.

Unfortunately the scenario you describe is all too frightening in its truth...except they will still find a way to "blame Bush."

I mean: why else Guantanamo Bay and secret black sites if the president believed he was obeying domestic American law?
Where were these black sites supposed to be? Chicago?
