Suicide by Obama

At the risk of being labeled Unamerican (Obamacan to us) by Jim Moron, three things came immediately to mind upon hearing of Holder's decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York. In this order.

And unlike Mr. Obama, whose stuttering impotence on Afghanistan and appeasement of dictatorships on every continent is so worryingly evocative of the dark days of the Carter presidency, the attorney general was able to pull the trigger: [continue] ” Putz.
