Well in the continuing saga of the Armature Hour, the White House now is flipping on the 9/11 trials. Our enemies must love this guy.

From the article:
WASHINGTON – In a potential reversal, White House advisers are close to recommending that President Barack Obama opt for military tribunals for self-professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four of his alleged henchman, senior officials said.
The review of where and how to hold a Sept. 11 trial is not over, so no recommendation is yet before the president and Obama has not made a determination of his own, officials said. The review is not likely to be finished this week.

Is anyone keeping track of how many of the former administration's actions and ideas that BHO blasted to get elected are now his way of doing things???
Must be nice to be able to be in a career where those four fingers pointing back at yourself when you point at others don't matter >:(

I read somewhere the other day where Greasy Joe said that the military turn around in Iraq would be one of this administration's greatest accomplishments.
It was one of the usual MSM outlets and even that interviewer was so shocked by the statement he asked if the Bush administration didn't have a major role in that.

figuring it out as they go along ::)

Would that be the "failed" surge, that "isn't working", in the war "We lost" ?
Notice Bush isn't mentioned there, is he.

This is a smokescreen, according to one source I read. bho is "giving up" his civilian trials (which he never had support for in the first place, there is even a bill in Congress to force the military tribunals instead of civilian trials.). No, bho will "graciously" give up the civilian trials - for a price. That price is the closing of the Gitmo detention facility. Watch for it, and get on your kongress kritter the moment it appears - if not sooner.

We have no weapons to use against our Commie critters, they know they are gone the next time they come up for reelection, so F you, they'll do as they please. >:(

For the cost of, I don't know 5 or 6 rifle rounds, and an eager supply of well qualified volunteer/soldiers, can't we take him out back in Guantanamo, and I don't know, stand his hairy backed azz up against the wall and tell him all the virgins are toothless camels and end this crap?
He already was expecting to be executed, soooooo we, as a kinder appeasing nation, are just giving him what he wants.....
Martyr his azz or put him in hard labor breaking rocks, either way the rank "rookies" including Holder, still can't get it right....

I have a better idea, lets give him $100 K and a ticket back to Pakistan,
And our VERY public thanks for ratting out all his buddies. ;D

Graham Signals KSM Trial Reversal Could Clear Way for Gitmo Closure
FOXNews.com
Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday that he would help the White House convince his fellow Republicans to support closing Guantanamo Bay if President Obama reverses course and sends the alleged Sept. 11 mastermind and his co-conspirators to military tribunals.
The South Carolina Republican is considered to be a key player in the administration's strategy to close the detainee camp at Guantanamo. He supports shuttering the facility but opposes trying the alleged architects of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in civilian court.
He acknowledged Sunday that he's willing to play ball with the White House on Guantanamo, provided it gives him what he wants on the terror trials.
"I don't believe Khalid Sheikh Mohammed robbed a liquor store. He's the mastermind of 9/11. ... If he's not an enemy combatant, who would be?" Graham told CBS' "Face the Nation."
He suggested that using the tribunals for such high-profile terror suspects would go a long way toward easing opposition from the right to closing Guantanamo and sending its detainees to U.S. soil.
"I can't do it by myself. But I think if we could get Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators of 9/11 back in the military commission, it would go down well with the public," Graham said.
Congress has barred the transfer of prisoners who don't have a path to trial -- those who appear to be detained indefinitely -- and refused to give the president the money for a facility to house them on American soil. Meeting resistance, the Obama administration blew by its self-imposed deadline to have the Guantanamo prison closed by January.
A senior administration official told Fox News the decision on the trials, while "weeks away," is linked to a "basket of other issues" including obtaining congressional funding for a prison to house Guantanamo detainees in Thomson, Ill., and for other terror trials in federal civilian courts.
Though the goal in reconsidering the trial venue may be in the interest of the president's longer-standing goal of closing Guantanamo, some on the left have reacted fiercely to the prospect.
The American Civil Liberties Union ran a full-page ad Sunday in The New York Times slamming the president.
"What will it be Mr. President?" the ad asks in boldfaced type. "Change or more of the Same?"
In the middle of those words are four photos that show Obama's face morphing into the image of former President George W. Bush.
But Sen. Evan Bayh, a moderate Indiana Democrat who does not plan to run for re-election, described any concession on the terror trials as part of a worthy compromise.
"(Obama) is trying to stake out a common middle ground and he gets kicked in the shins by the far left," Bayh told Fox News.
He told "Face the Nation" that he would be willing to support terror trials in the military tribunal setting.
"I think the administration gets something, and yet the public gets reassured," Bayh said. "If they want to make progress in the war of ideas by eventually closing down Gitmo, they're going to have to give a little bit on that. ... And that's why I think we have got to find some common ground on this thing."

President flip flop. They don't have a clue.
WHERE ARE THE JOBS!

So, why in the hell would Senior Grahamnesty try to "strike a deal" now. Trying them in the courts is dead in the water. This dude is either a 100% idiot or there is about to be something big to go down and he wants to take the glory for it.

NOT figuring it out as they go along ::)
There. I fixed it for you.
