Today marks yet another example why the right choice was made on 4 November 2008. Adam Ghadhn, the American al-Qaeda, was captured in Pakistan. We knew he and the other 9-11 henchmen were there all along, but Bush-Cheney would come up with every excuse for not finding them. Well, our President has been using every resource at his disposal to find them at a rapid pace. Ever since President Obama's speech on sending more troops into Afghanistan several months ago, the rats are either being exterminated or flushed out in the open at a rapid pace.
For reasons still not known, the last administration was inept at this but the chorus from their quarter has grown louder about the inertia of the present one. However, with each passing day that shrill is falling deaf on America citizens who are beginning to see why our President took this approach. Have there been setbacks, sure have, the recent decision to try terrorists in military instead of civilian courts is a big set back, but one that was done as it became clear that nobody wanted these trials on their turf. Our President tried and was not successful, but I'm not going to quibble about that, at least he tried.
Over the last several weeks more of us in America have become tone deaf from the rantings of the GOP and Tea Party activists. Our nation is coming to light at the end of the tunnel, albeit slowly, but lest we forget where we were 18 months ago, teetering on the brink of financial collapse. President Obama has done a Herculean job under the circumstances and things will only get better with time. The GOP on the other hand has shown themselves to be devoid of ideas, heck, they never had any, just the same old worn out themes of yesteryear, and the Tea Party? Just let's say Ronald Reagan is rolling in his grave listening to others trying to hijack his message 30 years later.
We are at the stage where the wheat and chaff are being separated with the culmination being some eight months from now. What was a sure thing weeks ago now seems a lot less certain because that guy with the funny name decided to keep on keeping on.
Azzam, the American had more of a chance surviving under another Republican administration than this one. The day President Obama took the oath of office sealed the fate of many who praised 9-11 as the dawn of a new era. For eight years we were told that these guys would never be caught. Our President shrugged that off and has been catching big fish ever since. There are only three big ones left and I surmise they're right where Azzam the American was caught. Its time to catch the rest and bring these vermin to justice.
It time for Dick Cheney to shut the hell up.
