Didn’t Sheikh Hussain of the WH release the USS Cole killers ?

Did he? Then this decision would make a pattern, wouldn’t it.

Dems who want to have a job after 2010 and then 2012 are going to run from this or try and act like they aren’t sure. Its something only the far left supports and Obama is caving quickly.

I still think if one juror, judge, cop or prosecutor gets killed by a terrorist attack targeted from this trial Obama should be held for it, everyone warned him, but of course he knows better than everyone.

Political animals too afraid jeopardize their own comfy nests and willing to sacrifice the Proletariat and the forward march of Socialism.

Disgraceful.

LOL

Over at Hot Air, Allahpundit puts up a video of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton being interviewed by David Gregory on NBC’s Meet the Press yesterday morning and notes that she appears to at least give lip service to agreeing……

Once KSM is granted constitutional protections, he must be freed as he was denied due process. To think obama doesn’t know this is just naive.

*rolling eyes*
I’m done with all these stories about what someone said at some academic gathering.
I saw an article about how McCain quoted Mao, too. LOL*
Good grief. Great people are often quoted, regardless of their politics.
AnninCA on October 19, 2009 at 2:58 PM

So ann hated Reagan but thinks mao was a great person….does anything else need to be said for or about this horrid creature?

As for Paterson, he’s as irrelevant to this story as anyone else. Once KSM is granted constitutional protections, he must be freed as he was denied due process. To think obama doesn’t know this is just naive.

I think the whole thing could blow up in their faces. God only knows what the terrorists might do. They could go after the jurors and who could stop them?

Terrye on November 16, 2009 at 5:33 PM

The islamic terrorists won’t need to go after the jurors. They will have the WH do their dirty work for them, by using

SEIU, ACORN, WFP , HCAN, CAIR , ACLU …….
so many choices

Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret) Statement on Fort Hood Shooting.

His website

Last Thursday, 13 American Soldiers were killed and another 30 wounded at a horrific mass shooting at US Army installation, Ft Hood Texas. As I watched in horror and then anger I recalled my two years of final service in the Army as a Battalion Commander at Ft Hood.

My wife and two daughters were stunned at the incident having lived on the post in family housing.

A military installation, whether it is Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard, is supposed to be a safe sanctuary for our warriors and their families. It is intended to provide a home whereby our “Band of Brothers and Sisters” can find solace and bond beyond just the foxhole but as family units.

A military installation is supposed to be a place where our warriors train for war, to serve and protect our nation.
On Thursday, 5 November 2009 Ft Hood became a part of the battlefield in the war against Islamic totalitarianism and state sponsored terrorism.

There may be those who feel threatened by my words and would even recommend they not be uttered. To those individuals I say step aside because now is not the time for cowardice. Our country has become so paralyzed by political correctness that we have allowed a vile and determined enemy to breach what should be the safest place in America, an Army post.

We have become so politically correct that our media is more concerned about the pre-shooting stress on the shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan. The misplaced benevolence intending to portray him as a victim is despicable. The fact that there are some who have now created an entire new classification called, “pre-virtual vicarious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)” is unconscionable.

This is not a “man caused disaster”. It is what it is: an Islamic jihadist attack.

We have seen this before in March 2003 when a SGT Hasan of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) threw hand grenades and opened fire into his Commanding Officer’s tent in Kuwait. We have seen the foiled attempt of Albanian Muslims who sought to attack Ft Dix, NJ. Recently we saw a young convert to Islam named Carlos Bledsoe travel to Yemen, receive terrorist training, and return to gun down two US soldiers at a Little Rock, Arkansas Army recruiting station.

We thwarted another Islamic terrorist plot in North Carolina which had US Marine Corps Base, Quantico as a target.
What have we seen done with all these prevalent trends? Nothing.

What we see are leaders paralyzed and refusing to confront the issue, Islamic terrorist infiltration into America, and possibly further into our Armed Services. Instead we have a multiculturalism and diversity syndrome on steroids.

Major Hasan should have never been transferred to Ft Hood. Moreover, he should have been administratively discharged from the Army. His previous statements, poor evaluation reports, and the fact that the FBI had him under investigation for jihadist website posting should have been sufficient proof.

However, what we have is a typical liberal approach to find a victim, not the 13 and 30 but rather the poor shooter. A shooter who we hear was a great American, who loved the Army and serving his nation, and CAIR stating that his actions had nothing to do with religious belief.

We know that Major Hasan deliberately planned this episode; he did give away his possessions. He stood atop a table in the confined space of the Soldier Readiness Center shouting “Allahu Akhbar,” the same chant as the 9-11 terrorists and those we fight against overseas in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters of operation.

No one in leadership seems willing to sound the alarm for the American people. Our Congress should suspend further action on the preposterous and unconstitutional healthcare bill and resolve the issue of “protecting the American people”.

The recent incidents in Dearborn Michigan, Boston Massachusetts, Dallas Texas, and Chicago Illinois should bear witness to the fact that we have an Islamic terrorism issue in America. And don’t have CAIR call me and try to issue a vanilla press statement: they are terrorist apologists, not a civil rights organization.

We have Saudi Arabia funding close to 80% of the mosques in the United States, one right here in South Florida, Pompano Beach.. Are we building churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia? Of course not. Because they aren’t allowed by the Saudi government.

So much for peaceful coexistence.

Saudi Arabia is sponsoring radical Imams who enter into our prisons and convert young men into a virulent ideology….one resulting in four individuals wanting to destroy synagogues in New York with plastic explosives. Thank God the explosives were dummy. They are sponsoring textbooks which present Islamic centric revisionist history in our schools.

We must recognize that there is an urgent need to separate the theo-political radical Islamic ideology out of our American society. We must begin to demand surveillance of suspected Imams and mosques that are spreading hate and preaching the overthrow of our Constitutional Republic……that speech is not protected under First Amendment, it is sedition and if done by an American treason.

I make no apologies for these words, and anyone angered by them, please, go to Ft Hood and look into the eyes of the real victims. The tragedy at Ft Hood Texas did not have to happen. Consider now the feelings of those there and on every military installation in the world. Consider the feelings of the Warriors deployed into combat zones who now are concerned that their loved ones at home are in a combat zone.

Ft Hood suffered an Islamic jihadist attack, stop the denial and realize a simple point.

The reality of your enemy must become your own.

Steadfast and Loyal,

Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret)

I’ve been a huge fan of hers for years.

AnninCA on November 16, 2009 at 2:29 PM

And that right there proves beyond a reasonable doubt that AnninCA lacks the judgment to pontificate on who should be crossing guard, let alone who should serve at the federal level, and in particular, who our President should be.

I’m sorry, but its folks just like AnninCA that are marching this country right off a cliff and into historical obscurity. Someday to be nothing more than a quaint little experiment with feedom. An experiment that degenerated into lazy, non-productive, victim-mentality people voting to put the productive, the innovative and the visionary into, what can only be described as, tax-slavery.

Hillary doesn’t “love” America, Hillary loves “power”. Her entire life has not been about one thing and one thing only – obtaining POWER (and all the “perks” that go along with that power).

::sheesh::

You are totally and unappologetically correct. I am not getting the Hillary love from these trolls. This crap about Hillary being so wonderful is BS. She is a Democrat. Her agenda is Obama’s. That is all you need to know.

Bird 1> First black governor Paterson is telling first black president Obama to get bent–hence–Paterson needs to get kneecapped a bit.
Bird2> Obama is failing miserably on the WAR on terrorism, Gitmo and the way forward in Afghanistan

Stone> Chuck KSM into Paterson’s neck of the woods to piss him off, fix Gitmo by 1 chowderhead, and smokescreen Afghanistan just a bit by reframing the debate, stupidly, but reframed.

triangulation.

kscheuller on November 16, 2009 at 4:14 PM

Read the rest of the comments on the thread. It’s a sarcasm orgy.

Hillary fought PERSOANLLY to ensure the 9/11 rescue workers got medical care that Rudy denied

ginaswo on November 16, 2009 at 3:57 PM

Hi, Chelsea!

1. She worked with Chuck U. Schumer.

2. Please provide proof of your allegation re. Rudy. All he asked was the the city’s liability be capped at $350 million. Can you prove he personally as you claim denied medical care to anybody?

If you don’t agree that terrorists should have Constitutional rights than the terrorists have already won.

BadgerHawk on November 16, 2009 at 2:04 PM
Since I don’t buy into the one-world meme, giving Constitutional rights to non-American’s is an insult to me, my countrymen and my forebears.

vapig on November 16, 2009 at 3:11 PM

Amen, vapig!

I hope you were being sarcastic, BadgerHawk. ONLY U.S. citizens are entitled to U.S. Constitutional rights. The Geneva Convention guides our treatment of enemies. As Rush talked about today, I suppose that you would argue that, since KSM was not Mirandized, his case should, therefore, be thrown out of court.

You will all eat your words.

Hillary is being honest.
She is not going to run again.

AnninCA on November 16, 2009 at 2:40 PM

Honest? Well, I guess there’s a first time for everything.

I still hold with William Safire. Hillary is a congenital liar. Hope Bill won’t threaten me with a punch on the nose, though. ;->
