Republicans Salute Obama's Military Tack


Even as congressional Democrats feuded last week with the CIA in what at times seemed to be a throwback to the 1970s, President Obama was headed in the other direction in what may have been his most active week yet as commander in chief.

He pushed through the House a spending bill to finance the war in Afghanistan and reversed himself, deciding to fight the release of photos purportedly showing humiliating treatment of detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mr. Obama also announced he would have some detainees at the U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, tried by military commissions, putting him at odds with much of his liberal political base, but winning striking praise from Republicans who contrasted his sober decisions against the accusations of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that the CIA has lied to her and Congress continually.

I do not like Nancy Pelosi.

But of course, it's preposterous that staff would ever lie to elected officials, right?

They're all a joke. I agree with what Joe said a long time ago. Get rid of every one of them and start from scratch. Don't vote for ANY incumbent. Let them lose their cushy jobs and watch them squirm!

Yeah, 7:40, because we all know how honesty and trustworthy the CIA is.

You people think that Pelosi is in trouble? That she is somehow responsible for the whole torture mess?

No. This was all Bush and his cronies. They don't get off for a minute. Not one minute. They'll rot in hell forever.
