Obama weak due to his noncommittal answers on torture?

No, he isn't. Not at all actually.

He never said that he wouldn’t prosecute those responsible for those orders, he said that its best to move on from the Bush past. And he’s right.

He’s also a man that to quote “likes to be informed before he speaks” as he said to the CNN correspondent that asked him that impertinent “why didn’t you speak out earlier” question last month.

I was rather upset thinking that he meant “lets just forget it” but now I’m forced to re-evaluate my feelings. I think that he just wanted more information before speaking up. He’s not like Bush. He doesn’t speak up when he doesn’t know much about a subject. Its intelligent. I wish more people did the same.

Its not in any way weak. This is a man who thinks before he opens his mouth and who doesn’t make a committment to things without as much information as possible.
He did say that he doesn’t think those that actually committed the acts of torture should be prosecuted and unfortunately he’s right.

Let me put it this way… every day American soldiers are taught to take their orders and do them whether they want to do them or not. Its not about “choice”, its about “do it or face repurcussions of possibly years of jail time or worse”.

Why do you think that those that carried out the orders given to them by that truly evil man Cheney, and that mentally deficient Rice should be prosecuted? They’ve been trained to obey orders, not to think for themselves.

I think those people should be given free psychologist visits for the rest of their lives to learn to mentally deal with what their government made them do. I can’t imagine the nightmares they must be having.

Obama doesn’t look weak at all. But you need to look at it from a non-Republican point of view to see it.
