I think I heard President Obama say that waterboarding wasn’t successful. That it only resulted in bringing 3 guys accused of terrorism to trial.
And even after they were tried and convicted, he STILL said that they had been “accused” of terrorism.
Some basic facts our fast and loose president buried. We only waterboarded 3 individuals. All 3 then must’ve been convicted. After conviction, they are no longer considered “innocent” of the charges. They are convicted of the charges. They are no longer consider “the accused”. They have been found in a court of law to be terrorists.
He also referred to how many people the Bush administration released. It didn’t mean that they were innocent of the charges. It meant that they could not be brought to trial. Barack Obama should KNOW that this is a common occurance in legal matters. His friendly Pentagon bomber proclaims to be guilty as sin and free as a bird (the same man we know as “Deep Throat” who took down Nixon also engaged in unlawful means to obtain information to build a case against Bill Ayers).
And of those released, a good number of them later went BACK into terrorist activities with several dying in suicide bombing attacks.
The last president was called a chimp but this current one is a lying chump.
Sean Hannity reporting last night on his show that 1 in 10 prisoners released from Gitmo return to terrorism and the battlefield.
