The other solution to the KSM trial is to dither about it endlessly until he and his fellow terrorists die of old age. Just keep them locked up and overfed.

Paul, I don’t really disagree with you, right from the beginning I had him pegged as a kind of “Manchurian Candidate” for the power hungry Dems. Don’t misconstrue my suggestion that he is “smart”; in fact he has the IQ, he’s well educated in many respects, and he was successful in becoming POTUS; he is no fool. We all know that several Dems at the top of the party are eating their hearts out because of their own frustrated ambitions, but unelectability; and that they had to defer to him as the candidate when early on they didn’t have a great deal of fundamental respect for him. There’s already serious talk that Hillary will challenge him for the next election; couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, quite exemplary of the Dems sense of loyalty, generally. The fact that his (their) performance is incompetent doesn’t imply that these people aren’t smart, they’re smart like criminals, master manipulators. If things don’t work out they’re quite flexible, anything to keep the confidence game going. Bait and switch on the early representation, then when it doesn’t work out, switch back to the center to try to retain the voters; ie. demagoguery with the global warming scam, and health care they insist has to be accomplished in a massive rushed package rather than cautiously, incrementally with authentic transparency. Obama is smart like a fox, and right now he and the gang have control of the hen house….

If I may reiterate, Obama is a very bright fellow, he and his pals know exactly what they’re doing.

I have heard that, almost since Day One.

I’ve yet to see any real evidence to support it.

I believe this jerk is a “wysiwyg” president
(What You See Is What You Get).

So, how in Hell did he get where he is?

He seems to have some handlers who are very good at getting someone elected, in what appears to have been a perfect storm of electoral circumstances, but are now finding that actually running things successfully is a whole ‘nother story.

This emperor wannabee truly has no clothes; people are realizing it, and his ability to spin it as optical illusion is fast fading.

We have a truly interesting 10 monthes ahead of us.

“There’s really only two choices – Guantanamo or D.C.”

No, there is the World Court in Prague, which I am somewhat surprised wasn’t the choice to begin with given his ideas.

At least within the US this is going to be like moving prisoners out of Guantanamo – who is going to take them? No one wants them at all, they know what a fiasco the trial will be, the danger the trial will entail, and do not want to be the city he is found not guilty and released in.

Now, Prague I think will not have that problem – the chance to put Bush on trial by proxy would be a big one. They also seem to be looking for anyway they can appease them so letting this guy go is a plus.

Obama could also make a big show of world unity and have a few digs at the US in there too.

Wouldn’t surprise me either way.

Try him in the middle of Texas, but then release him on bail. And that will take care of that.

Holmes for the win!

Seriously, Gitmo is the only rational choice. Anywhere on US soil is an irrational choice.

Obama and his cronies are not stupid, but their ideological agenda trumps all, even their own reasoning faculties (such as they are).

Maybe there was an element of black (no pun intended) humor with the O.J. trial, but two people were murdered. This, on the other hand, is an issue of mass murder, with staggering geopolitical ramifications for the future. Personally, I’ve entirely lost my sense of humor concerning the Obama crowd, from top to bottom, including my oblivious friends and family. Way too much, far beyond health care issues, etc., is now at stake.

I don’t care where they hold the trial. It is going to be more fun than the O. J. Simpson trial where the defense portrayed OJ as the victim and put the police on trial. It was also amusing watching the PC prosecuting attorneys.

If I may reiterate, Obama is a very bright fellow, he and his pals know exactly what they’re doing. He’s a born and bred moslem-communist posing as a Christian Democrat, maintaining a politically expedient position in his party, and staying just below the threshold which would define treason and impeachment. When the heat is on the Dems will make appearances to placate the center, ie. offshore drilling, etc. is now acceptable (SOTU), while they’ve also changed their mind about the trial location, hoping to avoid alienating a critical bloc of voters; anything to pursue their radical left-wing agenda and simultaneously hold on to power.

“A good choice would be the secret Air Force base in Area 51 in southern Nevada. The security there is very tight.”

I completely agree with this.

I also agree that there is growing evidence that Obama is not as smart as has been trumpeted. The man cannot see possible outcomes. He seems like an actor playing a role–and so doesn’t give live press conferences any longer–anyone really notice that he can’t get his facts straight (Republican retreat Q&A is the latest proof) and when pressed–he shuts down debate and “moves on” to deal with the issue “later”. If he didn’t have the teleprompter, I suspect we would see a lot more of these gaps in his grasp of facts and consequences–It reminds me of when I found out that Lee Marvin (who I had really liked) was almost illiterate. Off script, and Obama will expose how weak his intellect is and when that happens often enough–his petty carping and jibes will just further disillusion people who fell for the illusion in the first place.

Well, hell, they should have known better.

But, doesn’t that perfectly describe this administration since Day One?
