Huge Haditha Ping.

Gotta keep our eyes on this one!

Barack Hussein Obama, Enemy of the State.

[b4its2late]

Let ‘em investigate all they want then maybe his other initiatives, like healthcare and a second stimulus, and cap and tax in the Senate will go down the tube.

[dinoparty]

I don’t think we should jump to conclusions on this. As much as I mistrust Obama, I don’t think he has much choice but to at least gather information on this. I’ll save my criticism for any improper decisions resulting from such “information gathering”.

[Lancey Howard]

Ubama is being played like a fiddle. The America-hating appeasers and losers finally have an ear.

[I'm ALL Right!]

Protect our enemies at all costs! Sure, they want to kill us...but maybe we could sit down over tea and come to some sort of resolution. /sarc

Hey Obama - "Peaceful" talks (Negotiating) with irrational religiously-motivated zealots (terrorists) will not accomplish anything other than a weak, wussy U.S.(Your goal?)

[Oldpuppymax]

Yep. Time for Hussein to change the subject, divert attention back to the “evil Bush” and allow his wholly owned media operation to scam the public once again. Unemployment? What unemployment!

[VeniVidiVici]

The Times said officials from the FBI, the State Department, the Red Cross and human rights organizations had sought an investigation into the deaths...

Sure. I can understand the FBI wanting to be involved in an investigation of Taliban deaths in Afghanistan.

Not.

I'd much rather think the FBI would want to investigate CNN's involvement in Iraqi torture deaths during the reign of Saddam Hussein.

[ohioWfan]

Does he really think he'll raise his sinking approval numbers by investigating the killing of the Taliban???

In my view, Obama travels back and forth between sinister and stupid. Well, he's always sinister, but the stupid stuff always seems so, well ............stupid.

[GiovannaNicoletta]

And what does Barack Obama think he's going to do about it if they have their moronic "investigation" and find that the Northern Alliance did kill Taliban? Give Abdul Dostum a spanking and take his birthday away? Why don't they investigate the many thousands of people who were murdered by the Taliban for things like flying a kite - many of those people ethnic Uzbeks who lived in Northern Afghanistan? Why don't they investigate how the Taliban were permitted to grow and flourish and harbor a monster like Osama bin Laden under Bill Clinton's watch with nothing being done to stop it?

These people are abysmally stupid. They're going to screw up their little Afghanistan adventure and fall on their faces just like they have with the "stimulus" joke. Some things are better just left alone.

[PzLdr]

Nothing like a show trial to razzle dazzle the Comrades as to why Socialism isn’t arriving on time.

[Feasor13]

Can you imagine fighting WWII or any other American war under this so-called administration? The Kenyan should be careful how he trods here. I would not want to tick off the military, especially if I was elected under false pretenses.

The New York Times, citing government officials and human-rights organizations

All enemies of the United States. Why doesn't the NYT name the 'human-rights organizations'? They have no problem naming CIA agents and other classified information.

[InterceptPoint]

Watch the Obama poll numbers. The more they slip the greater the effort by Rahm and Company to put the focus back on Bush-Cheney. You can see it happening right before your eyes. But, IMHO, it’s a fool’s errand. This is Obama’s mess and he is going to get blamed for the bad economy and the bad results in the WOT whether he likes it or not. Bush Bashing is not going to work.

[Uncle George]

Here comes another smoke screen to cover Nancy’s ass. He is slowly destroying the CIA so he can create the O I A, Obama Intellegence Organization, the officers will wear brown shirts and jack boots.

[SandRat]

In an interview with CNN, Obama said the investigation would focus on reports the Bush administration resisted calls for a probe into the deaths of as many as 2,000 Taliban POWs in 2001, during the early days of the war in Afghanistan.

Once again the Loons on the Left, the STATISTS, can not or will not read the GHC to find out and comprehend in accordance with the GHC what constitutes a POW. The Taliban do not meet the requirements of the GHC for POW Status.

[Citizen Tom Paine]

Of course UPI wrote this so it is bound to contain errors, but I don't think the Talibans that surrendered were POWs. The Geneva Convention very clearly defines a POW characteristics. These persons (non uniformed combatants) were irregular combatants. What they rated was to be questioned and then be shot.

However, they will be painted as saints on a religious pilgrimage which were killed by the Evil US backed forces.

[Williams]

It’s OK because I see the day approaching when all this leads to investigation of what is happening under Obama. If I know my leftists, it won’t be pretty.

His continued attempt to govern as if he is still a senator criticizing the Bush administration is getting really old.

[DoughtyOne]

My guess is that while in Ghana, Obama was handed a letter that read...

His Excellency and Most Honorable Son of Kenya:

I am a member of the royal family. Our family has been under investigation and we are trying to find a way to get our funds out of the country.

You have been mentioned as an honorable person, who is in a position to help us. We are looking for a person who can take receipt of $37.5 million dollars U.S. We would appreciate it if you would hold those funds for up to six months, until we can come to the U.S. to collect them back from you.

As a thank you, we are willing to leave 10% of those funds in your account, when you return the funds to us. There are only two things you need to do, to help us.

Please send us a $100 check so that we can determine your bank account number. We will then send the funds promptly. We would also ask that you investigate the maltreatment of Taliban members by the Bush administration. If you just check into that, we will send $70 million U.S. instead of the $37.5 million.

Please hurry. The Nigerian troops are at the door.

Thank you.

Of course Obama would believe anything that charged the Bush, Cheney, or the U.S. with a crime. Hence the need for an investigation.

And all that money...

By now the check is in the mail.

[Daus]

Ya gotta love policy probably driven by the fact that some liberal got around to reading Horse Soldiers during his summer vacation and got outraged.

For those who haven't read it, it's a pretty good book which covers the very early days of the SF folks on the ground, dealing with folks like Dotsum.
