PUSSILANIMOUS

I wonder what would have the great General Patton think about the state of affairs in America, especially on the subject of the treatment of our intelligence operatives. Today, Attorney General (A.G.), Eric Holder, decided to appoint a special prosecutor to look into and to possibly prosecute our CIA operatives who threatened Gitmo terrorists with death if they did not divulge secret plots to kill Americans. This is the same Holder who engineered the pardon for Mark Rich and pardoned the Puerto Rican terrorists who blew up government offices, which may have caused a police officer’s death. We are aware what Holder is attempting to do; his president popularity is tanking so why not go after the CIA and let it dominate the news circle for a while… taking the focus off the health care reform debacle. The problem is the potential damage it could cause in the CIA current ranks and recruiting. In addition, why would the Israeli’s Shin Bet, Mossad, or the British MI-5, who a re very good at what they do, wants to work or share intelligence with us…perhaps, the only good news coming out of Washington was that Leon Panetta, the current head of the CIA, was incensed at A.G. Holder’s decision. Some years ago, I attended basic training in Alabama (Fort McClellan); in order to graduate, we had to enter a room filled with tear gas without the benefit of a protective mask, and try to repeat our names and SSNs…needless to say, my eyes were on fire and sprouting tears…and my sinuses were involuntarily cleared. What if our CIA operatives had subjected the Gitmo terrorists to a spell in a room and set off the tear gas…the pusillanimous crowd would have deemed such actions torture. I say to A.G. Holder and President Obama, popularity is fleeting… one only has to ask the many past flavor of the month celebrities…Jesus, riding on an ass, was welcomed into Jerusalem with palms and shouts of “Hosanna in the Highest;” and, moreover, as King of the Jews, yet in three days, those same folks called for his crucifixion. So do not feel too bad Mr. President….
