What Happen to the Anti-War Movement?

What happen to the antiwar movement? Where are the anti-war demonstrators and their raucous protests? Where are the media and the liberal pundits criticizing about the war? That was then. As soon Obama was elected into office, it seems the anti-war movement died. Currently, nothing dramatically changed about the war after Bush left office. We still have 50,000 troops in Iraq. Obama is still committed to fight the good war in Afghanistan. Even though the mounting casualties, Obama actually increased the number of troops in Afghanistan without a game plan. Obama renege his promise to close Guantanamo Bay and continue to support the Bush predator drones program. The media stopped posting pictures and the death count of American soldiers Iraq and Afghanistan. It is so blatant that the media and liberals were using the deaths of American soldiers as a political motive to bash George W. Bush and the GOP. The political motivation behind it is cruel, insensitive, and malicious.

Now, there are no anti-war protests. The media has shunned talking about the war and avoided reporting any military casualties. The Left-wing blogs are very quiet to criticize about the war. Even Cindy Sheehan, an infamous vocal anti-war advocate, is nowhere to be seen. Since Obama became president, no one is interested to report the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is very disingenuous that liberals really didn’t care about the war and using dead American soldiers as a political tool to bash Bush. It was never about the war at all and that is an indisputable fact. The people who represented as anti-war advocates are bunch of hypocrites. It is simple hypocrisy. That is all it is.

Cheney says Obama conceded that Bush policies were RIGHT

(The Hill) President Obama has “learned from experience” that some of the Bush administration’s decisions on terrorism issues were necessary, according to former Vice President Dick Cheney.

In his first interview since undergoing major heart surgery last July, Cheney said he thinks Obama has been forced to rethink some of his national security positions now that he sits in the Oval Office.

Cheney also asserted that Obama has learned that the prison at Guantanamo Bay simply cannot be closed, despite the promises he made while campaigning for the White House.

Civilian Court for Terrorist Wont Work

This mockery of a civilian trial for combatant terrorist has got to stop. In a military tribunal, all evidence is presented. While in civilian court, a judge may dismiss certain evidence to be presented in a trial. In this case with Ghailani, I'm not surprise he didn't get not guilty in all counts. It disgust me when Eric Holder said he was please with the trial, but never remark how Ghailani was not guilty in killing all those people.

(MyWay.com) Jurors in New York City on Wednesday convicted Ahmed Ghailani of conspiracy to blow up government buildings in the al-Qaida attacks on two U.S. embassies in 1998, but they acquitted him on more than 280 other charges. He is the only person transferred from Guantanamo Bay for trial since the U.S. began filling the military prison in Cuba eight years ago.

In some ways, the conviction was a vindication for an administration that believes the judicial system established by the Constitution has proved itself capable of handling terrorism cases.

Ghailani, like Mohammed, was held for years in a secret CIA prison overseas and subjected to some of the harshest interrogation tactics. His trial was seen as a test of whether those actions would sink the case or whether prosecutors could salvage a conviction. Prosecutors could face the same challenge in the 9/11 trials.

Ghailani now faces 20 years to life in prison, longer than three of the four sentences handed down by military tribunals at Guantanamo Bay. Despite the acquittals, which included murder counts for each of the 224 people killed in the bombings, the Justice Department said it was pleased Ghailani faces up to life in prison and said it would seek that sentence.
