Terror expert and author Marc Thiessen told Bill O’Reilly tonight that Obama eliminated the enhanced interrogation tool from our counter-terrorism arsenal his second day in office.
So the tool that got us the information that led us to Osama Bin Laden is no longer in use. The US has not cpatured and detained and tinterrogated a single high level detainee since Barack Obama moved into office.

obamster…….lying, cowardly, incompetent, indecisive, anti-American boob. (My apologies to all the patriotic boobs out there.)
Granny commented:
That sort of sheds a little light on why the highest value intel target in the world would be killed – after he had been captured.
CheeseHeadZZ commented:
Bin Laden is not dead. I want to see the “long form” death certificate. Obama has known for a long time where he was so why did he kill him now? Because after releasing his bogus “long form” birth certificate the Seals had to get Obama’s official Kenyan “Longer Form” birth certificate back from Bin Laden.
Ginger commented:
You have got to read this….the military is fed up with the Kenyan fraud….maybe just maybe they are ready to take him down.
PRAY people PRAY.

I can’t help but reflect on how we all got to this rather life changing moment in history. The announcement is made that the wait is finally over. We have just killed the most ruthless killer in world history. Wanted by so many, far longer than any criminal should have waited, to have been given final justice with two taps to the head. But captured, by the very tools created by a man who will go down as one of the greatest Presidents in our lifetime. I believe that. A man who didn’t crave the limelight. He just wanted to serve. Did it with bravado, yes. But did it with clarity of a mission that needed to bring us back from a horror I hope that I never have to live through again. With so many opposing his measures and policies, he carried through to the very end without fuss. Leaving in place for the next administration, those tools to get us ALL right here. A moment we have waited 10 years for.
But, how did we really get here?
If we are to listen to those leading us for the past several years, we didn’t get here because of George W. Bush. So how??
We got here because a sniffling little washed up dirtbag got his feelings hurt being dumped by his boyfriend. And for retribution, he decided to make a name for himself because he was also pissed at the military and the DADT policy. (Which by the way of course, the same dirtbag is rightfully rotting in a prison on what should be considered treason!!!!!) And, by a nefarious tree hugging wuss who can’t get a steady girlfriend, put on a pillowcase and played superhero to the world and released info that they thought would bring further shame to our country and to the Bush administration?
Yet here we are. Those very documents that were considered the nail in the coffin for Bush, actually turned out to be the very death of Osama Bin Laden. And I just can’t help but pause for a moment and think what if that had never taken place? Would this administration actually be prepared to arrest and try Bin Laden knowing what we ALL know now? The answer to that is a resounding, NO.
I am grateful and humbled by our military and those I will never know the name of. I am grateful for a man who is quietly living out his years in Dallas. And a man in Wyoming that could be so tough and yet write words that could bring you into the life of a man we loved and adored named Reagan. I send up a small salute every chance I get to my dad for wearing the uniform and carrying the pride in his heart. I will always be proud of our nation for who we are!!! We deserve this moment. It is our ‘miracle’ moment!!!! It is PRIDE, not gloating or spiking a football or presenting a trophy, as POTUS said. If you see it that way sir, than you don’t understand it, period. I think Ann Coulter said it best last night. Mr. President this is not your private crime scene case to take credit over.
Just brilliant.
So move aside for a moment in your glory trot, Mr President. And let us have OUR moment of reflection. Life has dramatically just changed for all us. Ten years of sitting on pins and needles, wondering when this guy would pop up next has taken a toll? Let us have our daydream for while, as UBL bobs around the ocean.

It really doesn’t matter that we didn’t take OBL alive because we got the hard drives. /sarc

btw, it’s not exactly “new” news..
just a sample:
Interrogation techniques work despite controversy (4/09)
[In releasing highly classified documents on the CIA interrogation
program last week, President Barack Obama declared that the
techniques used to question captured terrorists “did not make
us safer.” This is patently false. The proof is in the memos Obama
made public — in sections that have gone virtually unreported in
the media.]
CIA Had Secret Al Qaeda Plan (7/09)
[A secret Central Intelligence Agency initiative terminated by Director Leon
Panetta was an attempt to carry out a 2001 presidential authorization to
capture or kill al Qaeda operatives, according to former intelligence officials
familiar with the matter.
[..]
Eventually Mr. Bush issued the finding that authorized the capturing
of several top al Qaeda leaders, and allowed officers to kill the targets
if capturing proved too dangerous or risky.
[..]
“We were kept in the dark. That’s something that should never, ever
happen again,” she said. Withholding such information from Congress,
she said, “is a big problem, because the law is very clear.”]
DNI Blair Admits We Have No High-Value
Terrorist Interrogation Capability (1/10)
[In other words, by Blair’s own admission, the United States at this moment does not have a high-value-terrorist interrogation capability — at a time when our country has once again come under terrorist attack. Of course, the administration did not think they needed such a capability — because they have stopped trying to capture high-value terrorists alive and bring them in for questioning. So when one landed in their lap unexpectedly, they had no idea what to do with him.]
mission was top secret, very few people knew..
yet once again they are telling the enemy exaclty what they should
not know.. alas, the dangerously hypocritical bs irony of it all, *sigh*

Treason. Obama is illegally holding the Office of POTUS with the one goal of destroying America and making her vunerable to her enemies within and outside of the U.S.
I’m just hoping Trump is gathering as much dirt on Obama as possible.

A total Lie. UCLA professor went out on a limb in Jan 2009 and wrote Obama secretly moved intrrogation facility to Bagram Air Base. Obama by now should be understood as a pathological liar.
Big L commented:
they had to make sure OBL was killed how ever, they had to not interrogate thos islamos that they captured. the donks don’t want the beans spilled on who in the USA is involved with the islamos
jorgen commented:
No wonder. Obama worked closely with self-confessed domestic terrorist professor Rashid Khalidi.

Obama’s only skill is in talking to hippies and getting them to pump their socialist fists in the air while chanting inane rhymes and slogans.
