The idea that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, practically everybody in the upper echelons of the Bush administration have had their names and reputations smeared, their careers and lives attacked, dragged through the mud for building the foundation of security and defense that exists in this country today, a foundation that has protected us, a foundation, a system used by Obama to make his decision and now we're just gonna ignore all that, that never happened. And we're gonna all unite behind the left, which despises, if we are to believe them, they despise virtually every aspect of this operation that was utilized to make it a success. They opposed it at every turn, and they have for decades.
Now, going forward, folks, these liberals, the American left are still dangerous because they're still misguided. We are still at war with these mass murderers. I have a friend who lost a son in the Twin Towers and he sent me a note. And I was, frankly, somewhat perplexed by the note. You notice the perspective of the 9/11 families, you've seen them on TV, is quite different than all of us, the rest of us. It's shockingly, surprisingly different. There's no rah-rah there. None of them are talking about some great sense of closure. It's interesting to see. And this friend of mine sends a note asking me if I honestly think that the death of Bin Laden will finally slow down these terrorists. He asked me with a sense of hope. How do you answer that when you know the answer is "no way"?
In fact, if you believe our current leadership, all this is gonna do is recruit more terrorists. If Guantanamo Bay was gonna be a magnet for more terrorists, if having a prison where we detain these prisoners and terrorists, if that was gonna lead to more terrorist recruitment, then what's this going to do? Using their own philosophy, now, their own logical progression. Yet this man sends me a note, he's desperately hoping the death of Osama means that the militant Islamists will just sit down, that they'll just give up now. They won't. We are still at war with these mass murderers and Obama and his administration, his party, the Democrat Party, his media sycophants, have all worked overtime to reduce the level of security that existed before the arrival of his administration. Gitmo is open, but what kind of interrogations take place there now? We know that they don't like it being open. They want to shut it down. They just can't find a way.
Are the CIA detention locations still operating overseas? Obama says he's gonna close those. We're not gonna use rendition. What's with that? The enemy is still there. They're still targeting us. They are still ratcheting up. Is Obama still planning on slashing the Defense Department's budget while he massively expands domestic spending? You see, ladies and gentlemen, the left, and I don't care where you go to find the left, the White House, Congress, the media, they're doing all they can do to deny the obvious. They reject the methods and means that have been used to bring Bin Laden to his death, so they attack those of us who point it out. In rare moments of honesty, they have to be conflicted. Every aspect, everything they're standing up and applauding, everything they want a standing ovation for, they've sought to destroy. They intellectually and emotionally oppose all of it and yet here they are having to applaud it and claim credit for it as their own.
They want to have it both ways. That includes the media. They want political props for military operations on their watch, but at the same time their support for the military and intel services has been awful, openly hostile. The military and intel have been the focus of evil, as far as they are concerned. In all honesty, Obama and the Democrats campaigned against the military and against our intelligence services in the last presidential election. That's who they are. Look at the liberals today. What have they become? They are thrilled that a secret mission was used to successfully kill Bin Laden, but they don't like these secret forces. They don't like the means of getting the information, and they want to slash the budget for it.
So, again, to review, an American president, with admittedly incomplete intelligence, invades a foreign and supposedly friendly nation without that nation's knowledge or consent. Using information extracted from Guantanamo detainees subjected to allegedly illegal enhanced interrogation methods, i.e., waterboarding, the president gives a kill order for a target in a private residence where there are women and children present. And in the course of this attack, upwards of 22 foreign nationals are either killed or captured, including the illegally targeted unarmed foreign leader. And then it's reported that the president ordered the target's body tossed into the sea after a 40-minute ceremony. And all of this was done without any United Nations resolution or authorization of any kind, and no knowledge on the part of the country we invaded that we were coming.
Not only does the president not apologize for this, he brags about it. (imitating Obama) "Look what I did. I alone, under my direction, I made the decision." And our media is celebrating him as gutsy and courageous. Who could have imagined such a turn of events just a few days ago. Read more at www.rushlimbaugh.com |
