Obama & Terrorist trials: Arrogance and Dishonesty

"Me, I'm dishonest, and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you want to watch out for, 'cause you can never predict if they're going to do something incredibly stupid."
-Captain Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Carribean

I
am so fed up with our President's blatant dishonesty and his arrogance. He says whatever he wants whenever he wants without regard to whether he will follow through. Then, to boot, he acts like he is being so reasonable and his critics are misinformed and being unreasonable. We saw this behavior with the health care debate and now we are seeing it with the terrorist trials. Check out this video where Obama in 2006 said Khalid Sheikh Mohammed would receive a military trial, his lying is absolutely stunning:



Obama does whatever is good for himself in the moment without regard to honesty or principle. This is dangerous for our country. We need to vote out all of the politicians that behave this way.

These trials are going to be terrible for our efforts against terrorists:

Eric Holder's decision to move a trial on war crimes to American soil is morally confused, dangerous and political to a fault.

If military commissions are unjust, why is he still using them? If not, why aren't they good enough for KSM?
