Wasting Time With Alex

Circus comes to New York..

Well it looks like Holder has decided to bring the terrorists behind the 9-11 attack to justice in a US courtand people already are pointing out the politics and stupidity of this move. I watched Holder get lobbed a bunch of softball questions while working out at the gym this AM and simply could not believe the crap he was saying. First off, I was baffled how he talked about bringing them to justice and having a fair and impartial trial, only to then assure the mouthpieces playing at reporting that expressed the concern that trying war criminals (my words not theirs) in a civilian court could see them getting off, that he was certain they would be found guilty.

Of course Holder avoided answering what they would be tried for and kept mouthing off that he was going to ask for the death penalty. But in the end there was no clear charges mentioned, and that was obviously on purpose. And the obvious thing to me here is that this is all a meaningless but dangerous political act of contrition intended to appease the left, and it shows. Obama, have no doubt that even though Holder is doing the talking that Obama is pulling the strings, is going to give the left that circus to paint America as the bad guy he promised. I wonder if they no longer feel this sort of stuff makes terrorists like they used to tell us back when Bush was in charge and we tried to fight these terrorists.

Also, what nobody also asked was how long this Kabuki dance would take to play out. Considering the back and forth that is sure to follow between the lawyers defending these scumbags and the Justice Department, it could take a decade or more before these trails happen. In the mean time Obama and Holder are not just (hopefully) likely to be long gone, but they score cheap political points by claiming they brought these terrorists to trail even if they are going to be locked away for another decade or more, put us all at in danger. Remember that Bin Laden pointed out the reason he chose the Twin Towers was that he wanted to amongst other things punish us for trying the other bearded camel humper that tried to blow the place up in 1993. I wonder if these Ivy league geniuses know that or simply don’t care?
