Overview of day two


Day two of U.S. President Obama's administration has revealed some disturbing, but predictable, policies. He signed executive orders to shut down the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center, cease all "Black Sites" and stopped intercepting phone calls from known foreign terrorists (known in pop culture as Wireless Wiretapping).
I say these policies are predictable because when he was campaigning, then Senator Obama said he would take these measures. I am of the opinion that they are both dangerous and negligent. Apparently, our newly inaugurated President does not understand that we are in a war. I wonder if he, and those of his mindset, think if we quit the terrorists will do likewise? If so, he is terribly mistaken and the result will not be pretty.
We did not fight the terrorists before September 11, 2001, except for putting a handful on trial. They used this time to execute at least four cowardly attacks on citizens, and plot the mother-of-all attacks. This is a dangerous road we are now traveling, both regarding our national security and our economy.
