Obama scrambling for a way out of KSM trial dilemma
American Thinker ^ | 2/13/10 | Rick Moran

Posted on 02/13/2010 9:48:29 PM PST by Nachum

The word is that Holder and Obama "never expected" the kind of pushback against holding a civilian trial for 9/11 plotter Khalid Sheikk Mohammed.

This is pretty clueless in and of itself. How tone deaf do you have to be in order to be caught unawares when such large majorities favor keeping KSM from using a civilian trial as a propaganda tool?

So now, Obama is frantically looking for a way out - keeping the idea of a civilian trial open but moving the venue somewhere else. This is probably a dead end and there are even many Democrats who believe the president will cave on the issue and have KSM tried by a military tribunal.

So Bush & Cheney, the simpletons, might have had a clue after all.

Maybe he’ll be “derendered” to Pakistan, where they can choose option 2.

Obama is scrambling for cover on everything, as anyone who recognized the folly of placing someone with no experience in the presidency fully expected.

If not for the cover of the sycophantic media he wouldn't be able to get away with his "I'm in charge and I know what I'm doing" facade even with his blind lemmings.

I’d just like to see Holder get fired out of the deal.

And for Gitmo to stay open.

It’s very simple: Military tribunal at Gitmo then feed him to the sharks.

To be fair, Democrat’s did grandstand on the idea of civilian trials. Obama evidently took them at their word. This is his mistake. He thought they were as sincere as he was. No, they just used it for poltical effect.

He should be thinking of his move out of the WH.

Another little tidbit Obie found out after the swearing in...

I think Osama is dead. Harry and Nancy had been briefed but Obie wasn't high enough up the food chain to have been read into the intel. They let him wallow in his ignorance until he finally got the message.

The smartest man in the world was not in touch with the people enough to perceive this. He might have asked those other than Politico or Code Pink.

Someone should have told him that these are crazy terrorists who killed a lot of people.

“It never entered their pointy little heads that anyone except die hard hawks would object ...”

None of these people are competent attorneys. They are all “politicians” or community organizers. They make deals, raise money and surround themselves with people who will never remember what they said yesterday — which is why they lie with complete abandon — they’re used to talking to people who are neither critical nor educated.

It probably never did occur to them that there are great differences between a civilian trial and a military tribunal. That lecture was probably on the same day when “corpsman” was defined and pronounced. And it didn’t matter what they got on tests — Harvard had quotas to meet.
