This morning, I was thinking about where credit should be given for the incredible job done in terminating UBL's lease on life. And, the conclusion I reached is that first and foremost, the way was paved by our Founding Fathers. Because over two hundred years ago they realized the importance of individual freedoms and governance of, for and by the people.
Consequently, despite an administration in office that despises all those freedoms and believes that government's all that counts, such a good job was done by the prior administration in laying the groundwork for UBL's ultimate demise, the ball couldn't be stopped from rolling. Because, had UBL not been summarily dispatched after discovery of his location, that news would surely have sooner or later leaked out and no excuse in the world could have smoothed it over. Bubba Clinton still triple-talks every time the question arises as to why he didn't take UBL out in the first place, but Bubba was too busy having all night sessions discussing international law. Yeah, right.
And now, Eric Holder, the Attorney General (I had to look that up because I had no idea who the AG was) is considering charges regarding unlawful action by members of the CIA and techniques they used to gather information and also that several of our military may have overstepped their bounds by firing weaponry of certain types in foreign countries with which we're not at war. And if that's really Holder's plan, I hope the SEAL's next attack is at his house.
But to understand Holder, you have to look at his background. According to the National Review's Andrew McCarthy: "In 2004, Mr. Holder chose to file an amicus brief on behalf of Jose Padilla, the al-Qaeda terrorist sent to our country by bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to carry out a post-9/11 second wave of attacks. In the brief, Holder argued that a commander-in-chief lacks the constitutional authority to do what his boss, the current commander-in-chief, has just done: determine the parameters of the battlefield. By Holder’s lights — at least when the president is not named Obama — an al-Qaeda terrorist must be treated as a criminal defendant, not an enemy combatant, unless he is encountered on a traditional battlefield."
And then there's good old reliable Hillary. She also says she needs some more facts to determine whether or not our fantastic wipe-out of UBL was exactly kosher. And that of course is because although she may never have had a true belief in her life, she certainly knows where her votes come from and that her leftist base is anti anything that's good for the United States.
So, when all is said and done the arguments about who should have done what and when, and who's authorized and who's not will eventually begin to fade. But regardless, the only thing that counts is that no matter who wins this stupid argument, UBL will still be dead and the rest of his terrorist buddies are now moving from rock to rock, because the next SEAL raid might be at their place.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
