The Roanoke Slant

With his appointment of Leon Edward Panetta, a purely political operative with absolutely no background in intelligence or homeland security, to be head of the CIA, Obama has declared that the War on Terror is over.

Obama and his Clinton team will apparently revert to the way attacks on our people were handled by Clinton during his term. In fact they may well bring back Jamie (the wall) Gorelick who so proudly generated the Clinton directive that the FBI and the CIA could not collaborate on investigations, thereby allowing the 911 terrorists to enroll in pilot training in Florida.

During his introduction, Obama’s challenge to Panetta is to lead the CIA back to being politically correct and in a favorable light with the caring and sensitive people of the human rights groups who have done so much to stop bad things from happening in the world.

One might have thought the number one priority of the President of the US should be: “Never Again”! No more terrorist strikes against Americans wherever they may be!
-
Obama’s next declaration was to close Guantanamo. What a stroke of leadership! No plan on what to do with the folks there who were killing our people, apparently they will just disappear and become nice people.
-
Obama’s next declaration was to end military tribunals for terrorists. Apparently the major work done by Congress and the Federal Courts to arrive at a reasonable and just process is not OK. No word on what a replacement might be. Perhaps Judge Ito and the OJ legal system might be available again.
-
Obama’s next declaration was to end the “don’t ask, don’t tell” military homosexual rule that was put in place by Clinton. Apparently that will substantially enhance our military combat readiness and morale and make the battlefield a more friendly work environment.

Just the beginning of the change we can believe in! Many of my friends who voted for Obama are already having second thoughts, and he hasn’t even taken office yet!
