I'm not going to get into the details of the story below, the story from Fox News that declares that President Barack Hussein Obama has decided to have his national security teams investigate the 2001 mass killing of Taliban prisoners by the Northern Alliance in the initial stages of the War in Afghanistan. No, I want to focus on WHY Obama has decided to do this. And that is a two fold reason:
1. Barack Hussein Obama simply hates the American military
2. Barack Hussein Obama, in jeopardy of losing popularity due to his failed economic policy, has decided to join the farthest Left radicals of the Democrat Party in the witch hunt against former President Bush and Vice President Cheney - this is a deflective measure to take the American eye off of Obama's failure.
First, let's look at Obama's hatred of the American military ... you will recall back in the Democrat primaries, Barack Hussein Obama made this statement:
This shows the disdain Obama has had for military action in Afghanistan since the first operations after 9/11. Look at this statement from the Fox article by Obama and you tell me, where does he mention the suspected event was done by the Northern Alliance of Afghans?:
"And if it appears that our conduct in some way supported violations of the laws of war, then I think that, you know, we have to know about that."
There you have it. We have our U.S. President insinuating that our American troops and commanders were complicit in any actions done by the Northern Alliance. Once again, Barack Hussein Obama, the poster boy of Mao and Che, has defamed our military.
Now, onto this new deflection of Obama's fiscal failure as President. Obama's popularity ratings have dropped faster than the stock price of General Motors over the last six months and his "people" have decided that something has to be done. So, they have called up their most likely ally, their Communist minion from Congress, Rep. Jan Schakowsky from Chicago, to spearhead an investigation of how VP Dick Cheney hid a secret CIA anti-terror operation from Congress. By the way, it's my guess that the Obama administration has the goods on Schakowsky and that is why she plays the marionette for them.
But what it comes down to is CIA operations that WERE known by members of Congress but they are faking all of this so that Obama's financial spotlight turns to the former admininstration. Let's be real here. Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky was one of the lead politicians from the Left hellbent on the impeachment of Bush and Cheney - and now, the Obama handlers have decided to feed that fire and let some of their Congressional minions hang themselves.
This new order by Obama not coincidentally implicates Bush/Cheney in whatever role they might have had in looking the other way over this Northern Alliance incident in Afghanistan, couple that with the new CIA coverup by Cheney and you've got the fuel to start a month long heated debate in Congress, covered non-stop by the MSM, that will go as far as to potentially bring the former President and Vice President up on criminal charges. This will go on as America's economy burns like a wildfire in the California brush.
Just another reminder that it's all about Obama, not about America.

Obama Orders Review of Alleged Afghan Mass Grave
WASHINGTON -- President Obama has ordered his national security team to investigate reports that U.S. allies were responsible for the deaths of as many as 2,000 Taliban prisoners of war during the opening days of the war in Afghanistan.
Obama told CNN in an interview that aired Sunday that he doesn't know what how the U.S.-allied Northern Alliance behaved in November 2001, but he wants a full accounting before deciding how to move forward.
"I think that, you know, there are responsibilities that all nations have even in war," Obama said during an interview at the end of a six-day trip to Russia, Italy and Ghana.
"And if it appears that our conduct in some way supported violations of the laws of war, then I think that, you know, we have to know about that."
The president's comments seem to reverse officials' statements from Friday, when they said they had no grounds to investigate the 2001 deaths of Taliban prisoners of war who human rights groups allege were killed by U.S.-backed forces.
Reacting to the interview, Physicians for Human Rights hailed Obama's decision.
"President Obama is right to say that U.S. and Afghan violations of the laws of war must be investigated," said Nathaniel Raymond, a Physicians for Human Rights researcher. "If the Obama administration finds that criminal wrongdoing occurred in this case, those responsible -- whether American or Afghan officials -- must be prosecuted."
But Obama's direction -- discussed as he toured a former slave castle on Ghana's coast -- does not guarantee action.
"We'll probably make a decision in terms of how to approach it once we have all the facts gathered up," Obama said.
The mass deaths were brought up anew Friday in a report by The New York Times. It quoted government and human rights officials accusing the Bush administration of failing to investigate the executions of hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of prisoners.
U.S. officials said Friday they did not have legal grounds to investigate the deaths because only foreigners were involved and the alleged killings occurred in a foreign country.
The Times pointed to U.S. military and CIA ties to Afghan Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum, accused by human rights groups of ordering the killings. The newspaper said the Defense Department and FBI never fully investigated the incident.
The allegations date back to November 2001, when as many as 2,000 Taliban prisoners died in transit after surrendering during one of the regime's last stands, according to a State Department report from 2002.
Witnesses have claimed that forces with the U.S.-allied Northern Alliance placed the prisoners in sealed cargo containers over the two-day voyage to Sheberghan Prison, suffocating them and then burying them en masse, using bulldozers to move the bodies, according to the State Department report. Some Northern Alliance soldiers have said that some of their troops opened fire on the containers, killing those within.
Dostum, the Northern Alliance general who is accused of overseeing the atrocities, has previously denied the allegations. He was suspended from his military post last year on suspicion of threatening a political rival, but Afghan President Hamid Karzai recently rehired him.

it's plain as day.
and they voted for him.
Some day, the Republicans will take back both branches of government. It may take four or maybe eight years.
If they want to play scorched earth politics, the will rue the day the decided to go down this path.
Hell yeah I voted for him! -So did a MAJORITY of your countrymen.
Obama never stated that the US military had anything to do with this massacre. Killing a couple of thousand men AFTER they surrendered and were disarmed? Sounds like a war crime to me - that is not the way people on our payroll should do business. Make an example of him.
Boq - 8 years- 2016 before Republicans are in the Whitehouse again. "scorched earth politics" - get over it looser. It will be a long time before you hear anything as stupid as "permanent majority" come out of anyone's mouth in either party. Such hubris turns people off. Republicans may win back the House or Senate in 2012 - the American electorate is good about balancing out our government so that neither party goes too far. Gridlock is good. Remember Tom Delay and all the talk of the "nuclear option" to get rid of the filibuster - aren't you glad that never happened. Be careful how much power you give the Executive branch - you don't know who will win the next election. At least it ain't Hillary.
rita,
I think what you're looking at down the line is one of three things:
1. Your boy Obama will succeed with the socialistic shift in America and he will do away with the elections as we see them now
2. The country simply won't survive the Socialists takeover and 2016 will be nothing but chaos
3. Obama will destroy the Democrat party forever and 2016 will find a heavy Conservative majority along with some sort of fringe "Green" party.

I could get Escatolgical here, but that would be unbecoming of this fair blog.
I'd be ok with option 3 - both parties as we know it gone. Too many people identify as fiscally conservative and socially liberal, they like Republican economic policy but hate the "culture war" grandstanding.
This country has been socialist for 40 years or so already. National health care will be a load off the back of industry in this country. American industries (whats left of them) spend how much on their workers health care? The overseas competition does not carry this burden.
