The Witch Hunt Begins

I watched in horror on Monday as the president spoke to the C.I.A. employees justifying his release of documents detailing the Enhanced Interrogation Techniques used to extract information from captured Al Queda members in the war on terrorism. He assured them and the rest of us that this was "coming clean" and he had no desire for prosecution of anyone related to these actions.

Surprise! Less than 24 hours later he has changed his tune and is turn his dogs in Congress loose to go after pretty much whoever they like. You can just imagine Nancy Pelosi and her ilk are literally champing at the bit to go after any and everyone with a hand in the authorization of these interrogations. What happened to cause this flip flop? More importantly, WHO made the call to cause it?

Since the election there have been a number of occasions that Obama made some seemingly reasonable (for him, at least) only to modify or finesse it less than 24 hours later. In some cases the change appears to modify a very liberal position, repositioning to a more moderate stance. In other cases the change goes far to the left, as if the Communist wing of the Democrat Party made the call and straightened him out. In either case it is apparent that this man holds very few opinions of his own and that he is being handled like a puppet! He has demonstrated that he has the will of Jello.

So now we will be bombarded by congressional hearings looking for anything to hang a prosecution on any member of the Bush Administration. The likes of Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will be calling for Cheney's and others heads for authorizing "torture". The end result of this self-flagellation will be to weaken our intelligence gathering ability and a mass exodus of some of our best "assets" in this effort. I believe that this debacle will result in the loss of more American lives in terror attacks.

Our country is being run now by a bunch of panty-waists that have never had to face a more dangerous situation than a debate in college. Our enemies will take advantage of their apparent weakness and will become more bold. These guys make Bill Clinton and Al Gore look like right wing hawks.

The only good thing is that it will be a new gaggle of fools in the limelight and not Barney Frank or Chris Dodd. Only time will tell if this new group can live up to their standards .
