Andrew Cohen - Armed And Clueless

J.J. Jackson* | September 16, 2006

Wow … Talk About Psychobabble! This article by Andrew Cohen in the Washington Post is a look into the dark soul of someone without convictions.

Time For the White House To Just Give Up

The Senate finally found its long-lost spine yesterday and held fast to its opposition to the Bush Administration’s proposed plans to detain and try terror suspects. So if the White House is serious about bringing the men to justice quickly, and setting up a workable legal framework going forward, it should call off its legislative (and bureaucratic) dogs and sign on to the Senate plan. After five years of stalemate, it’s time.

The measure offered by John McCain (R-Ariz) stands a far greater chance of being approved by the US Supreme Court than does the Administration’s proposal. Moreover, the McCain-backed legislation is ready to go now– any delay, hesitation or intransigency by the White House means no legislation at all until after the November elections, at which time the White House may actually get a worse deal than the one the Senate seems to be offering now. Time is not on the President’s side and he ought to know it. Finally, there is the political reality: who do you think more Americans trust to have this issue correct? The President’s men, who have delivered unto us Abu Ghraib and five years of no trials at Guantanamo Bay? Or men like Gen. Colin Powell and the aforementioned McCain?

Certainly scary stuff! Ok, beyond the fact that Mr. Cohen is dredging up the old talking points about how HORRIBLE abu Ghraib was and how somehow holding enemy combatants until the end of the conflict (ie. GITMO) is a bad thing, here is the basis of his entire argument: “You cannot beat the liberals so you might as well cave to them”. Like I said, scary stuff!

Listen Andy, here’s a lollipop. Now go over there and play with your LEGOs. Us adults have a country to run and a war to fight. Ok?

The day I trust John “screw the First Amendment” McCain or Colin “Hey Armitage, don’t tell anyone you spoke Plame’s name” Powell or any other weenie from the State Department (current or former) is the day Hell freezes over. And since moronic terrorists keep sending their own warm bodies down there to stoke the fires, that doesn’t look like it will happen for a good long time.
