To say that you are engaged in revisionism is to be polite.

You do realize that our Founding Fathers were also ‘too gutless’ to wear uniforms to go to war, right?

Bovine excrement.

Even the rag tag Continental Army wore uniforms…and had devices placed on their collar, shoulders or head gear designating their unit or colony.

There was a precedent for this. It was a form of self-preservation upon capture, as the British Army routinely hanged any persons carrying a weapon who posed a threat to British formations who was not in a uniform. Bandits (i.e., non-uniform or non-nation identifiable persons committing hostile acts) were to be summarily executed.

Only one or two of the Founding Fathers wore a uniform, as they held commissions from one of the colonies or from the Continental Congress itself…the rest of the Founding Fathers were civilians, and not engaged in military activities, nor committing hostile acts against British soldiers.

Your comparison is faulty. Weak.

These were all war crimes according to liberals when Bush was President. [...] Now that Obama is President,it’s “smart power”.

Let’s look at that list:

Rendition – was wrong under Bush, still wrong under Obama.

Enhanced interrogation- torture was wrong under Bush, still wrong under Obama.

Indefinite detention – holding people without any oversight was wrong under Bush, still wrong under Obama.

Military Tribunals – nobody ever said this was a war crime.

Signing Statements – nobody ever said this was a war crime. In fact, they can be useful, but Bush overused them to extreme degrees. If Obama does the same, it will be wrong when he does it.

NSA wiretapping – spying on people without oversight was wrong under Bush, still wrong under Obama.

Bombing villages and killing civilians with drone attacks – are you saying that you support killing civilians?

Keeping troops in Iraq based on conditions on the ground – nobody ever said this was a war crime.

Hope that helps.

This screwball is a terrorist that didn’t have the guts to uniform up to go to war

Dont misunderstand me – I’m not equating the two. I’m just pointing out that it’s silly to say that anybody who doesnt wear a uniform in war is automatically evil. Dont judge somebody by their clothes; judge them by their actions.

Obama loves terrorists and the media loves Obama. Therefore, the media loves terrorists. It really is that simple and disgusting.

What is your evidence for saying that Obama loves terrorists? Bush is the one who let this guy go. Does he love terrorists?

Bush proven right.

Bush was right to let this guy go?

Oh, you mean he wasn’t waterboarded?

PappaMac on July 8, 2009 at 11:40 AM

The only truly effective method of “waterboarding.”

Oh, you mean he wasn’t waterboarded? Then why did he go back to the Taliban. We gave him three squares and a Koran. Why would he want to go back to killing americans?

I know, if we would have just read him the Miranda Rights, he would LOVE america.

If Cuba, in an act to impress the rest of the world, going all soft and mushy and peaceful, decides to recognize US sovereignty over Guantanamo, there will be a huge financial payoff…Cuba will probably want to cash those annual US Treasury lease checks (going back to 1959) and with simple interest, that’s a pile of US Dollars.

Then, the detainees are given over to Cubnan law…and since none of them have violated any Cuban law, nor committed any crimes on Cuban soil…all the detainees are set free.

Cuba gets a huge pile of money it has refused to recognize, it makes big friends with the Islamists jihadis…and it can then negotiate a new treaty to cover Guantanamo, resulting, most likely, in this Administration closing all of Gitmo, not just the detention facilities…and Russia, China, and Venezuela have access to one of the best natural harbors in the Western hemisphere.

So…will Cuba do this?

He’s mad isn’t he. We need to take his advice and get just as angry. My favorite line is the one that says the Democrats are a criminal organization masquerading as a political party. One of the truest things I’ve heard in a long, long time.

You do the Bama pokey and you turn yourself around…”

Kind of fits our Commie in Chief :)
Thanks for the laugh!!

Just kill him this time, guys.

I assume they have photos of this guy from Gitmo they can disseminate with a shoot-on-sight order.

“We were under incredible pressure from the world to release detainees at Gitmo.”

Just who are you employed by? Who did you swear to serve?
Repeat after me,”America first,the rest of the world after America is safe”.

How about Club Akmed? Sorta has that Islamist day spa sound to it.
