John Brennan, Obama's waterboy yes man on counter-terrorism, is making the rounds this morning, Tuesday, May 3. When asked about sources of information used in the killing of Osama bin Laden, he hedged on his answer when asked about the waterboarding of KSM and the information coming from this man.He did not deny the claim that vital information came from KSM during medically observed waterboardings (more than 180 in total). In fact, a large number of articles have been written documenting the benefits of waterboarding KSM. He and two others were waterboarded during 2003 to 2005 and more than two thirds of all the information we have on Al Qaeda came from these three individuals . . . . . most of which came from KSM.
For Brennan to pretend that the flow of vital information leading to the death of the Coward, Osama bin Laden, did not begin more than 8 years ago, information spanning two presidencies, is to play the partisan card in a most disgusting display of childishness. But, we have grown accustomed to the partisan antics of Obama, probably the most immature president in our history.
For Obama, sadly, this is much more about improving his approval numbers (49% approval as of May 2) than the actual killing. He will get a bump in the opinion polls, no doubt. Too bad this did not happen a month before the 2012 elections. The "bump" we forecast will be a brief diversion in his falling numbers. Within two weeks we will be back to normal for this man's ratings. In fact, I predict that within two weeks, he will make some sort of ridiculous decision and back in the tank he will go. At least, that has been his MO since taking office.
In the end, Bush and Obama deserve credit. In the end, this is a victory for us all.
