The Gitmo Song and Dance

The First Rookie has already begun his seductive shuffle on Gitmo and the War on Terror.

Of course, the 'close Gitmo' line was always just that- a campaign line. Predictably, once elected, he's shuffled his feet and tossed the whole mess to 'a commission.'

Yeah, right.

Today's Wall Street Journal pointed out that even the Wonderboy's liberal 'helpers' have opined on the idea of a special court for terrorists. Turns out, when you read their details, they have recreated Bush's and Congress' current rules and procedures for the military tribunals.

In the process, Wonderboy apparently declared the War on Terror over. Global applause to follow.

Huh? And just how did this victory suddenly come about? Or is the First Rookie just trying to get everyone to forget about that messy, icky thing called war? And that Muslims are trying to kill as many Americans as they can?

Personally, I still believe that wrong actions result in errors and bad consequences.

Despite so many people swearing they love the guy and 'want him to succeed,' it isn't going to happen. He's already demonstrating a sort of cotton-candy view of the world, with only good things, and no bad men.

Boy, is he going to pay a fearsome price when the safety which his predecessor maintained for seven years is blown away in some terrorist act.

Then Gitmo and the war on terror will seem like things he should have left alone.
