What happens when you let left wing wackos push you around?
You get the "memo mess"! By the way, Pres BO should read today's WSJ editorial: A President can't placate the left and keep America safe!
Pres BO released some memos over the weekend. The memos tell an incomplete story.
VP Cheney went on TV and called on Pres BO to release the entire memos.
VP Cheney believes that the interrogation techniques saved US lives. Pres BO claims that they made us unpopular in Paris!
Let's see who is telling the truth and who is full of hot air.
"It's hard to think of any non-political answers to these questions.
The logical inference is that Obama wants to release information that he thinks will smear the Bush administration, but does not want the American public to be fully informed about the benefits that were gained from the Bush administration's policies--policies that he now proposes to abandon.
All the more reason to join in Dick Cheney's request that, if the administration is going to open the book on enhanced interrogation, the American people should be able to see the whole record."
VP Cheney's call is building momentum:
The CIA's Questioning Worked By Marc A. Thiessen is superb. It shows that they worked and US lives were saved.
This is from The AP:
"The Obama administration's top intelligence official privately told employees last week that "high value information" was obtained in interrogations that included harsh techniques approved by former President George W. Bush.
"A deeper understanding of the al-Qaida network" resulted, National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair said in the memo, in which he added, "I like to think I would not have approved those methods in the past." The Associated Press obtained a copy." (Breibart)
"“High value information came from interrogations in which those methods were used and provided a deeper understanding of the al Qa’ida organization that was attacking this country,” Adm. Dennis C. Blair, the intelligence director, wrote in a memo to his staff last Thursday. "
This is from Ed: "CIA: We stand behind our actions — and the results"
We have argued for some time that Pres Bush made incredibly tough decisions after 9-11.
Go back to 9-12-01!
Who didn't think that another attack was coming?
Who didn't anticipate an even bigger 9-11 with a dirty bomb?
The Dems did. In fact, the Dems were briefed and went along: Friendly Reminder: Pelosi Knew about Harsh Interrogations in 2002 and Didn't Object
Again, somebody is telling the truth and someone doesn't have a clue.
My money is on VP Cheney and that's why the memos won't be released.
We can say this: Obama now owns the next terrorist attack.
