Obama to Make Push For Transparency in Florida Speech
Newsmaxx ^ | 12/6/16 | Sandy Fitzgerald

Posted on 12/06/2016 9:30:26 AM PST by Nachum

President Barack Obama will deliver a major address Tuesday in Florida to explain the policies his administration established over the past eight years on suspected terrorists, while making a push for the transparency his critics have said for years does not exist.

Obama will explain in his speech, being delivered at the military's Central Command headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, also the home of Special Operations Command, the legal and policy rationale used by the administration to decide whether terrorists should be killed, interrogated, or detained, reports The Los Angeles Times, which notes the president will be defending his national security record.

Obama will also argue on Tuesday to close the Guantanamo Bay prison, to continue a ban on torture, and for the United States to respect the civil rights of Muslim-Americans, reports USA Today. The president is also expected to explain his strategy of putting local forces on the front lines to fight ISIS in Iraq and Syria while limiting U.S. troop deployments to those areas.

Meanwhile, news and watchdog organizations have criticized the Obama administration for years for its lack of transparency, as he has used the Espionage Act to investigate government leaks more than all presidents combined since its passage in 1917, The Guardian reported last year.

Dear Obozo,

Transparency begins with your college transcripts and ends with Hillary in jail.

Sincerely,

After the appointment of Mattis, the audience for this talk/BS at Centcom will be hard pressed not to laugh in his face.

NO transparency on matters that involve the American people.

FULL transparency when it comes to what day and time we drone strike ISIS or drop leaflets warning them about an attack.

Conclusions?

whether terrorists should be killed, interrogated, or detained

That is an easy one to answer: kill them all. If you detain any, Barack Hussein's fans will push to release them. Catch and release leads to too many good people dying, so kill terrorists at every opportunity.

Gotta wonder what is going on inside of his brain right now. What is going on in valjars office.....he must be stamping his feet up and down throwing a hissy fit.

It is wild to see how him and his ilk think they are so important. They spewed nothing but lies for 7.6 years.....

I know they don’t think they did it the right way, we are the ones who are wrong. Mental illness is what libs are.
