Obama May Hold Military Tribunal Of KSM At Gitmo….Major Flip-Flop
Flopping Aces ^ | 01-30-10 | Curt

Hmmmmm......guess President Bush's plan to try the scum at Gitmo wasn't a bad idea after all eh? It's amazing what ONE Senatorial election can do....wait till the next one comes around and watch Obama's head explode:

The trial of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed won't be held in lower Manhattan and could take place in a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay, sources said last night.

Administration officials said that no final decision had been made but that officials of the Department of Justice and the White House were working feverishly to find a venue that would be less expensive and less of a security risk than New York City.

The back-to-the-future Gitmo option was reported yesterday by Fox News and was not disputed by White House officials.

Such a move would likely bring howls of protest from liberals already frustrated that President Obama has failed to meet his deadline for closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay.

It would also indicate that after years of attacking the Bush administration for its handling of the war on terror, Obama officials are embracing one of the most controversial aspects of it.

The administration is likely considering Gitmo because Congress is moving to cut off funding for holding the expensive trials in civilians courts.

BS.

It's being moved because polling data indicated the this loopy idea was one more LOSE-LOSE proposition for Barry and the Dems.

Personally I'd have preferred these idiots to have monumentally embarrassed themselves.

Better idea! Hold a Military Tribunal on board one of our modern Aircraft Carriers. Since she's a capital ship, there should already be an Admiral aboard. Once KSM is found guilty, the Admiral is given 72 hours to review the verdict. If guilt is confirmed, then fire KSM off the deck (wrapped in chains) with one of the catapults. (Swim, Baby, swim!!!)

If found not guilty, give him a life vest and an MRE (Baked ham!); then throw him off the fantail!

Look, whether it is the GITMO closing, the GITMO trials for terrorists that Obama and Holder love so dearly at the expense of American citizens, the failed economy, Obama forced healthcare, flawed energy plans, global warming (a farce), lack of security at home, POTUS Obama has appointed people that do not have one clue how to manage effectively and efficiently on a daily basis, and worse, how to manage on a strategic, planned basis. The whole cabinet does not have a clear thinking, far sighted, strategic view appointee among the whole lot, except maybe for Secretary of Defense, Gates, who is a GW Bush holdover, mainly because Bozo Obama has no one of significance or ability that is a Democrat to fill the slot. And....the truth is, ladies and gentlemen, POTUS Obama could not manage his way out of a paper bag to save his life. I actually believe the majority of the American people and voters have this guys (Obama) number as a total failure and zero when it comes to leadership and management capability. A short objective study of the KSM fiasco brought about by Eric Holder with Barack Obama approval and the whole Obamacare fiasco turned over to lunatic Nanacy Pelosi and certifiably insane Harry Reid has led the American public to decide Obama is a zero as POTUS and a total failure as any kind of manager of security, public and governmental affairs!!!

What a maroon! A year ago Obama held all the aces and it looked like the United Socialist States of America was a done deal, but a year later he can’t even get his Trash Bush Show Trial produced. You know Stalin is spinning in his grave...

200,000 million to any city who’ll take the trial. Where’s he getting the money. Congress says it’ll cut off funding.

Not holding Military Tribunal is a slap in the face to our military and was done to belittle and humiliate our military. the hatred for our military and his snubbing his nose at our military was done in honor of his TORRORIST friends. He wants them to go free.

You're on a roll - might I suggest Pelosi, then Barnie Frank for your next set of prayers? (Reid's already toast - not to have NP or BF return in 2010 would be a dream come true!)

"200,000 million to any city who’ll take the trial."


Sacramento County is $100 million upside down again this year...after last year's $180 million deficit. I bet they think about it for a brief moment. If they vote to raise the hotel tax soon it would be a foreshadowing moment.
