Can't Ask, Can't Tell

Obama’s War on Terror Doesn’t Extend to Actually Understanding the Terrorists

It’s so much easier to call out President Obama on his flip-flopping when you can just tell your producer to roll tape. Like Jon Stewart just did with Barack breaking his promise on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, something he promised to repeal during his presidential campaign and now is mostly, “Eh, what’s that?”

In case you need another example of the president’s new policies on hypocrisy, hear this: Obama won’t prosecute officials suspected of torturing detainees, he won’t release photos of those incidents (though they’ll get “leaked” anyhow), but the one thing he will do is keep gay Arabic linguists out of the military so they could actually tell us WTF these suspected terrorists are saying? (Cue to about 3:15)
