Obama is a Politician, and Quite Possibly a Fool

Obama's speech on Memorial Day is a clear indication that he truly does not understand the dangers facing this country. His declaration of Gitmo and waterboarding as being "torture" was stupid and inaccurate even by his own Justice Department's pronouncements. Our treatment of enemy combatants does not enhance terrorist recruitment. Successful terrorist attacks do. Jihadists and enemies of freedom respect strength and power. Bush and Cheney understood that principle and acted upon that fact. Before politics and personal ambition set aside his principles, even Biden recognized it as well. Obama is a fool to think otherwise.

Here's a great article by the National Review about it.
