Poll: Americans oppose closing Gitmo 2-1, relocating detainees to US 3-1
…

I think that if the media actually turned on Obama just a little bit people might follow suit. Right now there seems to be a gap between what they think and what they feel.

This polls adds to the evidence that Barack Obama has lost the national debate with Dick Cheney

Allahpundit, please take the above as definitive proof of the the existence of God!

The series of Geneva Agreements were hammered out after lengthy discussions, following major wars, and an intimate examination of the laws of land warfare and the treatment of prisoners gathered on the battlefield. It was the original intent of nations signatory to Geneva that state actors would regard the fair and proper treatment of actual military members captured to be reciprocal. reciprocity being the key underlying ideal sought when Geneva was hammered out.

Now, we have a different rubric…non-state actors…and these are covered under Geneva as well. Non-state actors are bandits, saboteurs, and brigands, and are to be afforded under Geneva a simple choice of cigarette and a blindfold, if desired, prior to execution on the battlefield at the direction of the local commander.

Granting such a legal process in a civil court makes it very very easy for any nation to round up members of our armed forces and subjecting them to civil trials, and incarceration or execution depending on the whim of whatever nation finds it best to ignore Geneva and wing it, much as the Obama Adm,inistration appears to be winging it regarding non-state actors captured on the battlefield.

Most Americans have no clue as to the parameters of Geneva. Most Americans have no clue as to the legalities of dealing with bandits, brigands, saboteurs…and yes, terrorists…and by our collective ignorance we will imperil our armed forces members far more than we will serve to protect them.

This is one Pandora’s Box I’d much rather see not opened, and certainly not opened because of the “feelings” of a generally ignorant American populace.

Now which position was the right-winger conservatives suppose to take on this issue to have been “moderate”. Would that still be the “moderate” position today? Or do moderates blow with the wind without taking an actual principled stand?

Just admit it. A moderate Republican is really just taking stands slightly right of a moonbat.

We still want that.

That doesn’t mean we liked him.

I am amazed at the blatant fraud of pollsters today concerning permutations and computations…

Or at least that’s what Obama seemed to be implying in his anti-Cheney address.

Simple. They don’t talk about Gitmo all that much on American Idol and Dancing With the Stars.

The initial roll of the press was to prove Bush or republicans wrong or at fault, while disproving any allegation against a democrat.

OT but I find this funny/sad. Tonight on NBC OBC-I is “Inside the Obozo White House” with Brian Williams and on ABC OBC-II is a two hour program on the global warming/climate change hoax. GOOD GRIEF!!!!!

FIFY.

Meanwhile, Katie Couric is reportedly crying inconsolably and stamping her feet in her dressing room because her network, OBS, doesn’t have a comparable swoonfest.
