Another campaign promise thrown under the bus. You Lefties must be
getting mighty tired of all this whiffing on your important issues by
Dear Leader.


well...no. the right wing liar (a redundancy) forgets to tell us that
obama said he'd obey CONGRESSIONAL mandates...which is what this was


bush said he didn't need congressional oversight to detain people.
obama says he does.


so the right wing liar strikes again.


"In concluding that it does not need specific permission from Congress
to hold detainees without charges, the Obama administration is
adopting one of the arguments advanced by the Bush administration in
years of debates about detention policies."


Idiot.- Hide quoted text -


- Show quoted text -


guess the moron didn't read the article:


"Instead, the administration will continue to hold the detainees
without bringing them to trial based on the power it says it has under
the Congressional resolution passed after the attacks of Sept. 11,
2001, authorizing the president to use force against forces of Al
Qaeda and the Taliban.


You're confused. *Here's what your boy promised:

""He will reject the Military Commissions Act, which allowed the U.S.
to circumvent Geneva Conventions in the handling of detainees."


which, of course, has nothing at all to do with the article, or what
bush said, or what the right wing said obama said

this is called 'goalpost moving'. he got his ass shredded in this
argument so now abandons it and tries something else

typical right wing idiot.
