Frustration, A Killer, Our new curse

I cannot believe the policy changes that have been put in place over the past two weeks. To indicated that they are irresponsible is an understatement. Not to mention that the scrutiny of the Obama policies has been few and far between, as he is the chosen one. I have been trying to give him credit, and let his term play out, but he has indicated, already, that he has a political agenda in hand, and no policy credentials. The most frustrating policy so far is Guantanamo Bay, "Gitmo" (although I believe the Economic Socialist Bill takes a close second, and soon to take over number one).I want you all to remember this name.....Abd al-Rahim al-NashiriCharges against Al-Nashiri were dropped today by the Obama administration, and he will more than likely be released shortly. Al-Nashiri killed 17 Americans on the USS Cole, that was in port of the coast of Yemen in October of 2000. The following are the names of those killed:

Hull Maintenance Technician Second Class* Kenneth Eugene Clodfelter, 21, of Mechanicsville, Va. Electronics Technician Chief Petty Officer* Richard Costelow, 35, of Morrisville, Pa. Mess Management Specialist Seaman Lakeina Monique Francis, 19, of Woodleaf, N.C. Information Systems Technician Timothy Lee Gauna, 21, of Rice, Texas Signalman Seaman* Cherone Louis Gunn, 22, of Rex, Ga. Seaman James Rodrick McDaniels, 19, of Norfolk, Va. ***Engineman Second Class Marc Ian Nieto, 24, of Fond du Lac, Wis.***Electronics Warfare Technician Second Class* Ronald Scott Owens, 24, of Vero Beach, Fla. Seaman* Lakiba Nicole Palmer, 22, of San Diego, Calif. Engineman Fireman Joshua Langdon Parlett, 19, of Churchville, Md. Fireman* Patrick Howard Roy, 19, of Cornwall on Hudson, N.Y. Electronics Warfare Technician First Class* Kevin Shawn Rux, 30, of Portland, N.D. Mess Management Specialist Third Class Ronchester Manangan Santiago, 22, Kingsville, Texas Operations Specialist Second Class Timothy Lamont Saunders, 32, of Ringgold, Va. Fireman Gary Graham Swenchonis Jr., 26, Rockport, Texas Ensign Andrew Triplett, 31, of Macon, Miss. Seaman* Craig Bryan Wibberley, 19, of Williamsport, Md.

The second surviving perperator of the USS Cole bombing, Jamal Mohammad Ahmad Al Badawi, had been captured and placed in Yemeni prison. However, Al Badawi was released by Yemeni officials based on the promise that he would no longer participate in terrorist attacks. This is a disservice to the citizens of the United States, the families of the USS Cole victims, and the world. We are now at risk to have yet another Gitmo Detainee conduct operations against the United States for a second time (as over 60 have already done). This is pathetic, and sickening. But what can we do, the people of the United States have spoken, and we have chosen an empty suit politician, willing to do whatever it takes for approval ratings and ego priming. Get a backbone America, and for once realize that Bush was right when he said there was EVIL in this world. We are letting EVIL out, and I am ashamed of that fact.
