You know, Ed Shultz is a little like Obama...

...but instead of wanting to urinate on his political foes, Obama wants to urinate on our traditions...

Leon Panetta is making the waves again, upset that former Vice President Cheney is salivating at the thought of another terrorist attack on the United States. To Panetta, this would vindicate Cheney's beliefs that Obama is urinating on the tactics the Bushites used during the War on Terror (September 2001-January 2009). I know that liberals find it hard to believe that some politicians are not cynical, especially after defending President Clinton's eight years of narcissism, but I will always believe in my heart that during the days after the horrendous attacks, the Bushites and caring Democrats wanted to do all they could to prevent another one of that magnitude. But hey, James Carville and Paul Begala expressed a desire to force a Republican president to fail, and needed to remind Democrats that the Selected-in-Chief was not a Democrat.

Obama's intelligence officials have warned him against releasing the "torture memos," noting it would continue to flame anti-US sentiments. He has denied Cheney's request to release all the memos, probably because those would vindicate Cheney and make Obama eat crow. He has ordered the FBI to give Miranda warnings to enemy combatants captured in Afghanistan, he has sugar coated Islamic terrorism, favors diplomacy with Iran and the Palestinians over Israel, as evidenced by his equating the Holocaust to Palestinian relocation. None of this seems to bother Obama's acolytes, obviously, since Jeremiah Wright has a problems with "dem Jooos."

I was reading the latest issue of Newsweak, and a letter written by Howard S., from Scotts Valley, California made clear to those Amuricans ( he called them "history-challenged") why the Iranians dislike our fellow Amuricans...the CIA-backed overthrow of Mohammed Mossadeq (or Mossadegh), who was "democratically elected," by the Iranian Parliament after the assassination of the sitting prime minister. Unfortunately for Howard, and all those who believe him, Mossadeq was highly unpopular with the Iranians after his attempts to nationalize the oil wells, among other things, led to an economic slump. Obama slammed the CIA for removing Mossadeq, even though his removal was what the country needed (DISCLAIMER: No Janie, and other liberal spies, I am not suggesting the CIA remove Obama, even though that maybe what our country needs).

John Hawkins says that Obama's decision to put Panetta in the top slot at the CIA shows us how serious he is about terrorism. He muses the CIA has a new Public Enemy #1: Dick Cheney. It's true that Obama's moves since becoming the 44th president shows he's a big ol' softie on national security, but I knew that when he was still a US Senator...

Have a great day...
