(Newsweek, surprisingly, had a killer issue this week, so please forgive the multiple posts to the same mag.)
Obama vs. Obama
http://www.newsweek.com/id/22999…Dick Cheney has said that President Obama is "trying to pretend that we are not at war" with terrorists. Tell that to the terrorists. According to data compiled by Peter Bergen and Katherine Tiedemann for the New America Foundation, the Obama administration in less than a year in office has carried out more than 50 Predator strikes against terrorist targets. That's more than George W. Bush did during his entire presidency.
At the same time, liberals accuse Obama of betraying his ideals and his promises to restore the rule of law. This accusation is equally wrongheaded. Obama has made—or more precisely has permitted his attorney general, Eric Holder, to make—a series of decisions that weigh proper judicial procedure and the appearance of justice over risks to national security.
Yes, folks. Life is more complicated than we can imagine.
Put away your high horses and try to accept that no one on this site has enough information to know what they're talking about.
