Thread Name: BS: Obama and torture
Subject: RE: BS: Obama and torture
Consider the choices, Dick...

It hasn't been all that long since we heard the Bush folks blaming everything on Clinton... Might of fact, that phase lasted about the entire first Bush term... It was eventually seen as ducking the issues...

Obama is smarter than to fall into that trap... He is letting others (with no protest) go after Bush and Cheney... That is what is known as wisdom... Why should he do all the heavy lifting and put himself in brawls that he clearly doesn' need...

Yah, the Repubs would love nothin' more than to drag him into the fray... Why??? I think it is obvious...

Obama has never said that he would let the real bad guys- you know, the ones who ordered up torture- get off scott free... He has said that those folks who thought they were foloowing orders aren't in his sights...

That is refreshing... The Bush people wnated to make these folks out to be just a few "bad apples"... That was a complete an total coop out...

Obama is saying, "Hey, let's not blame the grunts"... What is wrong with that???
