In another example of the wide adoption of the Bush security and military agenda, the White House –President Obama- went against its own justice department and declared that the Guantanamo detainees should be tried by military courts and not civilian courts on American soil.
After renewing the Patriot act as it was, such a flip-flopping coming from the Commander in chief and his associates shows us that there are no fuzzy woozy solution to deal with terrorists and other illegal enemies of the country that “fight” with no respect of the Geneva Convention and its clearly defined international rules of war.
It seems like our second wartime president has finally understood that the hard stance of the Bush-Cheney administration was better suited to manage the wars and the foes of America.
He ran the campaign of an immature idealistic teenager reaching for other utopians. Now he has matured with a real job and the great results of the Bush-era surge in Iraq made him realize that only victory and toughness will save us…and maybe his political future.
We are all expecting pimply teenagers and young adults to be idealistic and open armed, full of love and compassion, laziness and stupidity, drugs sex and rap…until they have to work and pay for their ways!
We bear with it because we know that fortunately, most of them will naturally become mature contributing adults, often with their own family to support and care for. Eventually, they will wake up to the realities of life and shake out their foo foo dreams, shed their pink baby skin.
Welcome to the club Mister President! It took a little longer for you but you are almost there and fast greying to real responsibilities.
You guys should be so proud!
