As with so many issues, Democrat's have that pesky Constitution getting in the way of their policy ambitions. If they want to deny law-abiding citizens the right to own a gun, then they must first repeal the second amendment. Good luck with that - you are going to need it.

President Obama is more likely to be the has-been and soon enough. Cheney is simply saying what has to be said; that words have meaning and saying your going to save the world without a clue as to how you are going to do it - as Obama obviously cannot figure out now that he is president - is dangerous. Cheney makes the point that brining the terrorists from Gitmo to the US makes no sense what-so-ever. The new prison will automatically become the new Gitmo and will only make it likely that at least some of the terrorists will be releases by some left wing federal judge put on the bench by Carter or Clinton. Although he hasn't submitted his plan to Congress yet, Obama seems to be hinting that he wants to keep about 100 or the hard cases in indefinite detention. Well, isn't that why Gitmo was being pilloried by the lefty journalists in the American and international press? The base at Gitmo was easily defended and not much of a targer for terrorists. Moving them to a prison in the US makes America an ever more enticing target. Obama is naive and his policies are a threat to national security. I hope that Cheny does not let up on Obama's simplistic thinking on Gitmo and the problem of dealing with terrorism in general.

President Obama is a Leftist extremist with views not much different from his political soulmate Hugo Chavez of Venezuala. Don't listen to what he say, watch what he actually does. In very short order he has created the largest deficit in history and the long term debt is catastrophic. On top of this, he wants to start huge government programs such as nationalized health care. Hardly moderate and extremely socialist. He taking over and running car companies and banks. He wants to release terrorists in America even though many members of his own party in Congress are against it. Obama is the worst president in American history - and it's only his second hundred days in office.

Pelosi knew and agreed with the enhanced interroation techniques until it suited her not to. She has simply been stupid enough to be caught in a lie. She is hyper-partisan and she let her hatred of Bush get the better of her. Bring on the Truth Commission - first up, the Speaker of the House!

Of course they do. You just don't agree with them so you discard their reasons out of hand. Interestingly, I pretty much agree with you that if a woman wants an abortion, it should be done very early. I am not religeous myself so my pro-life leanings are not inspired by God. However, those who state that their religion is the reason why they believe that abortion is wrong have a legitimate argument. A persons religion is their philosophy for life - and no one yet has been able to prove that a religious philosophy is any worse than a secular one (let's leave the crazy religeous folks like the jihadi's out of this please). Other than religion, there are perfectly logical reasons for not supporting abortion on the grounds that abortion actually does kill a living human being. Although I don't agree myself, but even very early on when the baby is just a cluster of millions of cells, there are legitimate reasons for wanting to protect these cells because they are human. These cells will not become a dog or a lizard - they are uniquely human. As science progresses, so does our understanding of how quickly babies develop in the womb and how quickly they take on human characteristics. People who are pro-life have a good argument on the issue of abortion, but closed minded people are unable to open their ears to hear it. Most pro-choice people have de-personalized babies as being just an object called a 'fetus' that is only important if the mother decides it should live.

No, you don't believe in choice either - because you deny choice for the aborted baby. It seems that too many people seem to forget that a baby in the womb is human. If it has a beating heart and an active brain - then it is a living human being that has emotions and can experience pleasure and pain. At this point in a childs development it becomes an issue of ethics, moraolity, and compassion for a defenseless living human being. I understand that this could be a difficult dilemma for a woman that becomes pregnant unintentionally. But if the pregnant person doesn't do something about it before it becomes a sentient being, then it cannot be logically called anything other than infanticide.

Wow! I didn't think it could get that bad. I guess Japan still hasn't learned that an over reliance on exports isn't a healthy thing for a mature economy.

For me, this issue comes down to whether or not you kill a living human-being. From there, you must define what a living human-being is. For me, it is a baby/fetus that has a heart beat and has some level of brain function. If a woman or couple wait to abort the child after this point, then you are killing a human-being; there is no other way to look at it. The thing about President Obama is that in his Notre Dame speech, he seems to be speaking as if he has no track record on this issue. He is for abortion on demand at any time - even if a failed abortion winds up with a living child outside of the womans body. That's sick - but that is also Obama's view record on abortion. He is really an extremist acting as if he were a moderate. Of course, the press has bought this act hook line and sinker.

I agree with Caroline. She didn't quit her pursuit of the Senate because she was angry and intense. It was because she couldn't speak very well - "you know".

Obama was against the surge when he predicted it would be a failure, then was grudingly for it after it succeeded; now he is apparently hedging his bets on his own surge policy in Afghanistan after he ordered it. He is an amateur and confused.

Cheney and Limbaugh are conservatives. Powell is a Liberal who used Republicans to advance his career. Of course Cheney supports Limbaugh over Powell. Powell isn't even a Republican as he endorsed Obama for president last year.

Pelosi should resign. She doesn't possess the honesty and integrity to be speaker of the house - the third highest ranking position in US government. She supported waterboarding until she determined that she could use it to her political advantage - then lied to cover her Machiavelian calculations. Pelosi - resign!

When the American government begins beheading it's enemies on television to achieve it's political goals, I think I might get your point. Until then I will continue to believe that such an opinion is not in tune with reality.

Not a very original sentiment. Obama must be opposed not because he is hated, but because he is bad for America and bad for the future of freedom and liberty in his own country and around the world. I just find it odd that Obama slammed Bush during the campaign for doing the exact same things that he is doing now - invading a country, tribunals, not outlawing "torture", using Gitmo, etc. Pakistan didn't attack America - so why is Obama attacking Pakistan? What did Pakistan have to do with 9/11? By the Left's definition, Obama is a war monger. Hmmm... I guess he just said all those terrible things about Bush because he wanted to get elected - not because he really meant it huh! America heck yeah!!! Go Obama!!!

As for the political ruckus itself over the use of waterboarding as an enhanced interrogation technique. Isn't it funny that Democrats' don't mind that their own government uses this technique to train our own military and intelligence personnel - and have been for years - but when it is used on a terrorist it's called torture. This fits right in with Pelosi's rather large wing of the Democrat party that cares more about the rights of terrorists than other American's trying to protect the nation. Go ahead and torture those terrible Americans who sign up to protect the country (they are probably conservatives anyway) but don't you dare lay a hand on that Islamic jihadist or I will ruin your life!

Pelosi used waterboarding as a tool to hammer her political opponents for years. It is sweet serendipity to see her being 'tortured' with the same hammer. All of the facts point to Pelosi as being a blatant liear and political opportunist. When you have a Democrat party hack like Leon Panetta calling out Pelosi, it's time to fess up. Democrats have used national security issues for political gain since the day the war's popularity dropped below 50%. This is part and parcel with Sen. Reid's stating that the war in Iraq is lost and then Senator Clinton's questioning of Gen. Petreus's truthfulness and integrity. National security and war are just political opportunities for Democrats to gain powere - that's all.
Pelosi is speaker of the House of Representatives and an abject liar. She should resign for the good of the country. Bring on the truth commissions - can't wait to see the evidence on Bill Clinton's rendition of foreign nationals so they could be tortured. Also, can't wait to see all of the evidence of other Democrats that knew of the enhanced interrogation tactics and did nothing to stop them - yet denounced them later when it was politically expedient to do so.
