Obama came into office with the mindset that everything the Bush Admininstration did on national security had to be wrong. Beginning, of course, with Gitmo. He is now getting a reality check, at least on that issue. The problem is that he isn’t going to get a reality check on other key issues (such as interrogations) until it shows up in the form of a terrorist attack that we missed because we lacked the hard intelligence information to connect all the dots.
The Senate did the right thing, and it sends a STRONG message to Iran and North Korea actually, in a round about way. It isolates Obama on his liberal foreign policy initiatives, and that is something GOOD, for our overseas enemies are counting on Obama to cave on issue after issue, but this shows at least there is some semblance of an internal US watchdog within the Federal Government. I know I dont like praising lib Senators who have risked this country’s security for years, but when they do something right you gotta write them and tell them thanks and keep it up and DONT DARE GO BACK TO LIBERAL, DANGEROUS VOTING when it comes to WOT.
