Not a peep, mind you...

 

 

"Where were the peaceniks when innocent Americans were being beheaded? Good question!"

Here we go again. The Loony Left is hell-bent on doing our great nation harm. How, you might ask? The Democratic controlled Senate is going to release a report that by all indications, will put Americans overseas at risk. As why then would they do that? Ah, the $64,000 question.

The report on "CIA torture" is being released today, as time is running out for the Democrats. Next month, control of the Senate goes over to the Republicans. Under Republican control, something so stupid as the release of this report would never be tolerated. The Loony Left believes this report should be released to show how evil our country is. We did after all, water board three very bad terrorists shortly after 9/11. And by the way, by doing so we obtained actionable intelligence which allowed us to stop additional attacks as well as eventually find and kill OBL himself.

The release of this report will probably bring Code Pink and WAMM out of hibernation. Ever since President Obama has been in charge, peaceniks have been very sleepy. One would have thought when innocent Americans were beheaded by the worst of the worst, protestors, like Code Pink, would have flooded the streets. One would have also thought when ISIL went into Middle Eastern churches, pulled innocent Christians out in the street and shot them, WAMM would have protested in every city. Nope - not a peep, mind you.

However, to pour water on a terrorist's face to make him think he is drowning, is now worse than firebombing Dresden in World War II. To set up "black sites" in Poland is now worst that interning innocent American citizens of Japanese heritage during World War II.

Here is the raw, unvarnished truth. We were "sucker punched" in the 9/11 attacks because we were not ready, we were unprepared. However during the aftermath of the attack, our police work, our ability to find bad guys and put them in Gitmo in such a short period of time, was jaw dropping. It was our country at its finest.

My personal feelings on this issue are simple. When this great nation is in danger, where innocents could again be killed, we will do whatever it takes. Period. If it means water boarding, fine. If it means something worse than water boarding, I am also fine. If it means finding a real life Jack Bauer to come in and do the dirty work, I am good to go.

In the last election, the message was loud and clear. The American people want the adults back in charge. They know the adults can keep us safer. They know the adults are not saturated with ideologues. The change we have all hoped for is not over yet - we will have to wait until 2016 to see real change in our government.
