Retweeted by David M. Drucker@classics_3000 I might be a dweeb but my job to is provide critical analysis. That's what I do. But feedback always welcome.@shirley_solar What exactly did I say that stokes hatred?@speechboy71 I don't disagree w/ this, which is why I find the constant criticism of his predecessor odd and counter productive.@speechboy71 Fair enough. We disagree. I think most is choosing the best of bad options to protect against asymmetrical threat.@Ron_Sansone I didn't say whether I agreed w/ it, or disagreed. But it was thought-provoking.@speechboy71 Not really. At least not into the second term. I think that applies maybe - maybe - in the first year or two.Rep Bonner [R] in #AL01 resigning to take job at the University of Alabama. Cue the crazy special in a safe GOP seat.@speechboy71 No. But not everything is black or white. Both prez justify questionable actions by claiming national security.Further explaining my last tweet: Re-elect is over-I imagine every admin will have to build/refine/adjust terror policy from previous prez..@BarackObama deliv'd thot-provoking natl security spch.BUT don't undstnd constnt criticism of Bush admin,which creatd terror policy on flyRT @HotlineJosh: Came outta nowhere.

Amazing she hasn't been tossed yet."Obviously, I do not agree w/ much of what she said…But these are tough issues." -@BarackObamaWhy is @BarackObama engaging protester? My take: This speech is to placate progressives unhappy w/ drones/GITMO.DoJ snooping"I'm willing 2 cut the young lady who interruptd me some slack" @BarackObama (Confirms this spch is cuz POTUS feeling heat fem progressives)Obama: If we agree to close GITMO, we can figure out how to deal w/ hardened terrorists that we can't prosecute in court. DOESN'T say how.YEP MT @rickklein: NIMBY fight:"I have asked the Dept of Defense to designate a site in the US where we can hold military commissions."Sounds like Code Pink has entered the building. (Someone needs to tell POTUS they won't shut up.)"Given my administration's relentless pursuit of al Queda" there's no excuse for not closing GITMO. -@BarackObama"No person has ever escaped one of our SuperMax facilities here in the United States - ever." -@BarackObamaGITMO isn't going anywhere absent approval from Congressional Republicans - & I doubt they'll approve transfer to U.S. soil.…Also very un-Bush like: @BarackObama looks to end wars irrespective of whether or not he thinks the U.S. is winning or has won."This war, like all wars, must end…It's what history advises." -@BarackObama on the war on terror."In the years to come, not every collection of thugs that labels itself al Queda" will represent a "credible threat." -@BarackObamaRT @ZekeJMiller: Obama: Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs.

It is fundamental to our national security""I know that foreign aid is one of the least popular expenditures that there is … I've seen the polling." -@BarackObamaRT @HotlineJosh: "addressing the underlying grievances and conflicts that feed extremism" -- very un-Bush.RT @kararowland: Obama: The use of force alone cannot make us safe."The use of force must be seen as part of a larger discussion we need to have about a comprehensive terrorism strategy." -@BarackObamaWASHINGTON (AP) - Obama says new policy will establish more accountability for use of force against terrorists.
