NATIONAL SECURITY: TWEEDLEDUM-TWEEDLEDEE APPROACH!

Alice, from "Through The Looking Glass" provides insight on Obama's National Security Policy.

President Obama and his administration along with the liberals in Congress have only themselves to blame for the uneasiness in the minds of the American people when it comes to national security and battling terrorism. From day one since taking office they have taken a "Tweedledum-Tweedledee", approach to the problem.

I have said often that Obama complicates simplicity, and turns the obvious into the ludicrous. It is an understatement to say their logic is flawed. Every action they have taken, from announcing the closing of Guantanamo, right up to the "Christmas Day Bomber" episode has been disastrous. It only makes sense to the liberal base that they are trying to appease but is simply out of touch with mainstream American thinking. It's all based on liberal logic. They know what is best and your concerns are of no consequence.

`I know what you're thinking about,' said Tweedledum; `but it isn't so, nohow.'


`Contrariwise,' continued Tweedledee, `if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.'

That pretty well sums up the administration's way of looking at the situation. Every major poll in the country shows that Americans want Guantanamo to stay open, they want terrorists to be tried by military tribunal, and they don't want terrorists to be Mirandized. Yet Obama continues on his course, unwilling to admit he was wrong and unwilling to believe that America is not on the same page with him. What could be the logical explanation to justify such thinking?  There is none...at least from a rational point of view. It's all from liberal ideology aimed at some utopia that doesn't exist and never will. Even his own moderate Democrats are starting to walk away from this logic.  With mid-term elections approaching they are fearing the Queen's voice, "Off with their heads." They are well aware by continuing to follow Obama on his course they are being led deeper into the woods and like Alice, soon to be lost. When they turn to the administration for help, they just receive a smile and are told to take a hit for their leader.

`I was thinking,' Alice said politely, `which is the best way out of this wood: it's getting so dark. Would you tell me, please?'


But the fat little men only looked at each other and grinned.

There is hope. If Obama is denied domestic funding for 9/11 trials by Congress, then he will most certainly need to return to Gitmo and place the trials in the hands of the military where they belong. That would most certainly inflame his liberal base and maybe cause Rahm Emanual to go off on them again with another "F-ing Retards" episode.  I don't look for the President to give up on this, no matter what is being reported. He desperately needs to start getting his agenda pushed through. As with everything with Obama, it's a matter of personal pride and ego. Two qualities that don't sit well with leadership.

`Ditto,' said Tweedledum.
`Ditto, ditto!' cried Tweedledee.
