We want to believe that Pres BO is serious about fighting terrorists.
We supported his decision to maintain the Bush/McCain policy in Iraq.
We stood with Pres BO when he sent 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. We will fight the upcoming Dem efforts to undermine Pres BO's Afghan strategy.
We cheer his "preemptive" attacks on terrorist camps in Pakistan and Yemen.
However, we do not understand a lot of things, such as "reading Miranda rights to the underwear bomber" who tried to blow up an airplane over Detroit.
And we do not understand the obsession with putting terrorists in civilian courts!
On Thursday, AG Holder's approach was dealt a major setback when AK Ghalini was acquitted on 284 of 285 counts. (He was accused of participating in the US embassy bombings that killed 220 people, including US diplomats and citizens.
We call on Pres BO to explain this verdict to the families of the US diplomats or the other citizens of Kenya killed that day.
We call on Pres BO to justify his reversal of Pres Bush's policy. Why are we putting these "high value terrorists" in civilian trials?
Was this guy charged with shoplifting or terrorism?
Why are we treating him like a common criminal? Terrorists are not entitled to any of those rights enshrined in our Constitution.
Pres BO and AG Holder's approach is illogical, destructive and dangerous.
We repeat that trying terrorists like shoplifters has not "affirmed American values" as candidate BO said over and over.
Instead, his decision has blurred them and put more innocent people in danger.
We are at war with very bad people.
They are committed to attack us and kill as many innocents as they can get away.
We should not treat them like common criminals.
They should be captured, processed and tried by military personnel or CIA operatives trying to get information about the next attack.
We repeat: Fire AG Holder or explain the verdict to the American people!
