Liberals live in a fantasy world

I'm watching Keith Olberman, something I do almost every night. I tried to quit a few months back but I couldn't. It the same with the liberal blog site ThinkProgress.org. They are like a car crash, you try and look away but you can't. I just read/watch them to get mad. I don't agree with about 90% of what is said in either place.

Keith Olberman's latest mission is about torture and what the Bush administration may or may not have done. He's done more then a few "Special Comments" on the subject. Think Progress also covers the topic often. They are obsessed with putting Bush administration people away.

Now for the record I don't support torture, but only because it has been proven to not get results. If torture was proved to be effective then I would be for it.

The left has been u[ in arms since Obama took office that nothing has been down to push for prosecution of Bush. They even look to hope at the Spanish investigation in claims of torture by the US in the hopes that Bush and other will be prosecuted by the Spanish government. Now here is where the left and liberals in general are living in a fantasy world. There is no way that the US would have over a former PRESIDENT to face charges in another country. No way in hell.

We are the most powerful country in the world for a reason. We don't take shit, or threats from anyone else. If the Spanish even get this whole thing to trial, the best they could hope for would be to try Bush officials in absentia. And the worse that would happen to them is that they would be unable to travel to Spain. Big Deal!

The reason I think Obama hasn't moved on the subject yet is the fact that he just doesn't care. I don't think he cares that the US may have tortured. I don't think he agrees with it, but I don't think he cares, that guys taken on the battlefield in which they were trying to kill US service members and innocent civilians, were tortured. I think he's glad that our enemies were treated as such. Of course he can't go on the record and say that. But given everything he has said and how he has deflected direct questions with the well used phrase "we need to move forward" and that he would be opposed by members of Congress and a certain percentage of the population, I don't see indictments happening anytime soon if ever. Obama seems content with the stance that it won't happen on his watch, which will probably go the full 8 years, and as long as the US is still the straw that stirs the drink in the world, there won't be alot of outside pressure. Of course we will have to tread lightly on some human rights issues early on, we aren't exactly cutting limbs off people like in Darfur, and as more and more info is coming out, it looks like we only waterboarded three people all high ranking Al Qaida members. I for one can sleep well at night.
