ABC’s Jake Tapper, got Obama to talk about how we need to treat terrorism as a law-enforcement matter.
Obama said, “It is my firm belief that we can track terrorists, we can crack down on threats against the United States, but we can do so within the constraints of our Constitution. And there has been no evidence on their part that we can’t.
“And, you know, let’s take the example of Guantanamo. What we know is that, in previous terrorist attacks — for example, the first attack against the World Trade Center, we were able to arrest those responsible, put them on trial. They are currently in U.S. prisons, incapacitated.”
“And the fact that the administration has not tried to do that has created a situation where not only have we never actually put many of these folks on trial, but we have destroyed our credibility when it comes to rule of law all around the world, and given a huge boost to terrorist recruitment in countries that say, ‘Look, this is how the United States treats Muslims.’ So that, I think, is an example of something that was unnecessary. We could have done the exact same thing, but done it in a way that was consistent with our laws…”
Obama has adopted the “Winnie The Pooh” doctrine
“Winnie the Pooh should shape US foreign policy”
telegraph.co.uk
Richard Danzig, who served as Navy Secretary under President Clinton and is tipped to become National Security Adviser in an Obama White House, told a major foreign policy conference in Washington that the future of US strategy in the war on terrorism should follow a lesson from the pages of Winnie the Pooh, which can be shortened to: if it is causing you too much pain, try something else.
Mr Danzig told the Centre for New American Security: “Winnie the Pooh seems to me to be a fundamental text on national security.”
He spelt out how American troops, spies and anti-terrorist officials could learn key lessons by understanding the desire of terrorists to emulate superheroes like Luke Skywalker, and the lust for violence of violent football fans.
Mr Danzig spelt out the need to change by reading a paragraph from chapter one of the children’s classic, which says: “Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump on the back of his head behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming down stairs. But sometimes he thinks there really is another way if only he could stop bumping a minute and think about it.”
Wild Thing’s comment……..
Sure B. Hussein Obama that’s the spirit! After Americans die we will investigate!! sheesh!
And to Richard Danzig the twit and Obama, you are NO Winnie the Pooh! Leave him alone! I rather take this personally since I collect Teddy bears and Pooh is one of my favorites. So OH Bother and Bug Off Danzig and Hussein! Bears are all Republicans in case you didn’t know it. LOL
On a serious note though….. can you imagine General Petraeus making a presentation on how the war is going and using Winnie the Pooh as a referrence?
YIKES!
It has already been proven that using the Three Little Pigs is offensive to muslims.
Really, when you think the limits of surrealism and insanity have been reached, here come the Liberals going beyond reason to even more far fetched idiocy.
Tom,LOL that’s so true, it just keeps topping itself every time they do or say another stupid thing. I would be embarassed if I did think like that to even say it out loud. hahahaha And these people on the left are proud of what they say.whew wowie.
