It hasn't been all that long ago that our soon-to-be ex-president single-handedly took out Osama bin Laden, with some ancillary assistance from SEAL Team 6. It is no secret that bravest of all past and future presidents pulled off this feat by utilizing information gained through enhanced interrogation techniques. The same techniques he continues to insist that his so-called justice department investigate, and prosecute those involved.
So, using this same thread of flawed logic, doesn't it stand to reason that since our soon-to-be ex-president utilized this illegally and immorally gathered information to cause the death of another human being, that he should be investigated and tried as a war criminal? Doesn't consistency demand it? Even the troops and intelligence operatives who are engaged in the use of enhanced interrogation have not caused anyone's death through their methods.
But, our soon-to-be ex-president on the other hand, took some of the evidence obtained through the use of waterboarding, to authorize, and to hear him tell it, single-handedly carry out the assassination of Osama bin Laden. SEAL Team 6 was apparently only there as back up in case something went horribly wrong and Barack Orambo was not able to complete the mission.
The notion that our troops and intelligence people should be investigated and prosecuted over enhanced interrogation is as patently absurd and ridiculous as my suggestion that our soon-to-be ex-president be tried for war crimes, and almost as ridiculous and absurd as the notion that bin Laden was actually human. The taking out of Osama bin Laden was NOTHING BUT A GOOD THING. And, despite what our supreme leader the great Ayatollah Obama bin Laden would have us believe, it was in fact, SEAL Team 6 who carried out the mission, and not the fictitious Barack Orambo that the media created.
So, an urgent memo to the mental midgets allegedly running our government: STOP HARASSING OUR TROOPS AND INTELLIGENCE OPERATIVES with these ridiculous investigations!! I am so glad these nitwits are all going to be one-termers!!
