In October 2007 far left Senator Barack Obama spoke out against waterboarding and enhanced interrogation techniques…
“Torture is how you get bad information, not good intelligence.”
“The secret authorization of brutal interrogations is an outrageous betrayal of our core values, and a grave danger to our security. We must do whatever it takes to track down and capture or kill terrorists, but torture is not a part of the answer – it is a fundamental part of the problem with this administration’s approach. Torture is how you create enemies, not how you defeat them. Torture is how you get bad information, not good intelligence. Torture is how you set back America’s standing in the world, not how you strengthen it.”
It doesn’t matter what Obama said then. This is Animal Farm 2011. The media will trumpet his achievements, ignore everything else and the moronic public will lap it up. The upside is that he killed him too soon and by the time the next price hike for gas rolls along the public will forget this as quickly as they forgot what Senator Obama had to say about Bush policies.
.....But consider for a minute that Obama may not have wanted to even catch Bin Laden, or at least preferred to wait until closer to the election so the undeserved poll bounce won’t dissipate too soon... why think that?
Seems WikiLeaks may have forced his hand... their most recent doc dump mentioned the “trusted” Bin Laden courier and Abottabad specifically... .....
Hmmm!
And the WikiLeaks document mentions one Al Qaeda operative “Al-Libi”, now a prisoner at Gitmo. “Al-Libi” means “the Libyan”. He’s probably from the area of eastern Libya that now is the center of the insurgency that obama and his humaniterrorist harpies Hillary and Samantha Power have launched a war to help!!!!
This “Al-Libi” boasts about the number of Americans he killed in Iraq. He and his kind in eastern Libya are just the sorts that NO real American would want to support. But muslims like obama and humaniterrorists like Hillary Khomeini and Samantha Power consider them great allies!!!!
Don’t forget the use of civilian trials to try KSM, OBL and other Al Queda types...
All of these previous statements are going to make good campaign fodder.
A reporter needs to bring Obama to the carpet on this one.
“It has been demonstrated that the Gitmo facility, and the use of waterboarding, were instrumental in bringing Osama Bin Laden to justice and making us all significantly safer from terrorism. Is it still your intent to follow through with your previous orders to discontinue these practices?”
