Yes indeed. When Mr. Hope n' Change was on the campaign trail, he swore he was going to shut down our tropical resort for jihadis at Club Gitmo...and he really hoped he could. But he changed!
President Obama signed an order today to resume military trials at Club Gitmo. In a press release today, Obama said that this new policy will “broaden our ability to bring terrorists to justice, provide oversight for our actions, and ensure the humane treatment of detainees.”
Which of course is 180 degrees from what he was saying before, if you remember.
Back in 2009, Obama lectured us that “the existence of Guantanamo likely created more terrorists around the world than it ever detained.” And in a May 2009 speech, the president dismissed the opposition to closing the prison as partisan politics designed to create a “climate of fear”...you know, something those evil Republicans were getting all wee weed up about.
Now, after all that nonsense, President Obama has, umm, reconsidered. And it looks like former President Bush, Dick Cheney and John Yoo knew what they were talking about after all, while Obama was just blowing unicorn smoke rings. And now, finally has to admit he had no clue about what he was talking about.
Embarrassing, to say the least.
