I give Obama credit in stating that that there is no merit to releasing the photo's that leftists want to have released as Dick Cheney rightly pointed out. I trust he will have the strength to withstand the withering attacks from the ACLU and other anti-American groups and side with our troops and their safety. Just one positive outcome of Dick Cheney rightly pointing out the concern about some of the decisions coming out of the administration.

What seems to have escaped the addled brains of leftists is that we had terrorist attacks on the U.S. multiple times during the Clinton administration (WTC 1993, Kobhar Towers 1996, USS Cole 1998 to name a few notable ones) and only one during the Bush administration (911). All before Dick Cheney was VP and W was President. The difference was 8 years of fecklessness and multiple attacks followed by 8 years of aggressive protection. Many of the Obama administration decisions have the potential to make us less safe and more prone to attack. This is one he figured out before the damage is done. Good for him.

Now he needs to reverse course on Guantanomo, enhanced interrogation, enhanced tracking of terrorist money, etc. We know what works to protect Americans from determined terrorists. Why risk the lives of Americans simply to satisfy the rabid left (aka, Soros, Moveon, etc.). He used them to get elected but now he needs to do the adult thing and screw them over. He needn't worry, the media will cover for him and the leftists will support him again in 2012.
