Hoisted on their own petard! In their drive to descredit the Bush Administration, they find themselves unable to get past the fallout of what they knew.
major flipfloppage - and with a 50/50 chance of getting it right, he did so on the second chance.
Maybe 0bama, Pelosi, Reid, Emanuel, et al, have actually learned that the members of the armed services vote, pay taxes, buy stuff, and put their lives on the line for the likes of 0bama, Pelosi, Reid, Emanuel, et al.
Then again, there is absolutely No f’n way I’d cross the Rubicon with the military of the US, militarily, politically or otherwise.
The photos will be “leaked”, the WH will promptly weigh in on how the images do not represent America’s new direction, and empty words will be uttered in flimsy defence of armed forces personnel still in the field.
All the benefits from releasing the photos, but with few (none political) of the costs.
Complete BS. No real conservative believes Obama is growing or maturing.
These aren’t the first things Obama’s withheld.
He’s also withheld the rest of the photos from Scare Force One and his birth certificate (he wouldn’t still be litigating against its release if it had already BEEN released).
My $.02 worth.......I’ll bet ya’....somehow they’ll be leaked. Watch this space.
President Clueless. Shooting off your big mouth to appease the MSNBC basement dwellers is not turning out the way to be good policy-I’m guessing the Kenyan is having second thoughts about how this all appears to normal Americans...who vote.
Neither. The whole thing was to extend the Abu Ghraib schtick, but there were no more photographs. So, they just declared there were more photographs, got everyone all hot and bothered, and then had Obama cancel the "release." That way, everyone's imaginations run wild, the photographs can be treated as "fact" even though no one ever saw them and even though plausable deniability has been created by declaring their lack of importance (but only after everyone got all excited in the buildup). It's just fairly simple psyops, but the liberals will lap it up and regurgitate it on command for years to come.
Why does the store of Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby come to mind?
This is why Presidents should not go around babbling about every issue. You bring the subject up YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
He thought this would be a fun way to score some easy points. Now he wishes he had just left it alone.
If it wasn't for the fact that he has put our country in danger this would be funny. As it is, I am furious.
Well the fun part is that an appelate court ordered the release of the photos due to a lawsuit by the ACLU. Biggety said he would abide by the decision and release the photos rather than take it to SCOTUS.
So the ACLU now has to push it further up the chain.
Red on red...we win.
“Conservatives praised the move as a sign of Obama’s growth in office.....”
A crock.
