With this decision, Obama gets both the sides; he’s trying not to put our troops more in harm’s way (for conservatives); then, he lets the courts decide by putting up a lame challenge, and the courts rule the photos must be released (and they will be for the left). Remember, he wanted to release these without any pressure except from the left, but Rham and Axelrod see a win-win for Obama by taking this route. Of course, if he really doesn’t want to release the photos, he could do that with an executive order, but he has no spine against Soros and he really doesn’t like America and wants to remake it in his image, not what the founding fathers had in mind.

Could it be that our political freedom is in the hands of the CIA.
These boys and girls with their secret memos and pictures have a lot of politicos by the short hairs. Ask Queen Nancy.
Are they pitching Dick Cheney some in dope?

What caught my attention was that no matter how peeved the looney left seems to be, they still can’t bring themselves to blame Obama directly.
This from a POLITICO article linked on Drudge:

“If it’s true that they’re reversing position, we find that wholly unacceptable,” ACLU attorney Jameel Jaffer told POLITICO. “It’s inconsistent with the commitment they’ve made to the court and its inconsistent with the promise of transparency that they’ve repeated many times both before the election and since.”

I count one “they’re” and two “they’ve” in such a short statement.

I’m sure it has grown exponentially since 11-03-08.

they saw pictures of detainees praying, reading the Koran, eating nutritious Middle Eastern type food, getting dental checkups, and playing soccer.

It might, on the other hand, persuade a few of the poorer ones to surrender if it means they get to go to Club Gitmo.

One side is the realest that knows that there are some things he shouldn’t do

And then there is the Idealoge that wants to do every thing that he thinks is right.

Both cannont coexist at all.

He want’s to look he in touch wit reality but still mantian the Leftest nuttiness inside.

You know, liberals remind me of that bully that everyone knew from high school. As is the case with most bullies as long as you let them they will bully you, but it is amazing that when you stand up to them and force their hand you see that they are the biggest cowards of all.

You might not win every fight but the end result is the same, between you and an easier target, they will go after the easier target every time because they know that you will fight. We need to take the lessons from grade school and apply them to the Democratic Party. As the former Vice President has shown us, the bully will back down. You either learn from the past or you are doomed to repeat it.
