I say we let the little bugger live and shoot the attorney who takes his case.

Joe McCarthy was proven correct after years of being slandered by the left for being paranoid about commie/anti-American scum infiltrating our political system. Of course those eventual findings never surfaced with the hard left MSM.

The pinkos are here now in a MAJOR way. These idiots are clueless, lawless, and dangerous....affording civilian rights to enemy combatants??!!! You have to be f#@king kidding me!! It's the Twilight Zone, I tell you! In the end, it really is a dream come true for conservatives though. This is a perfect example of an egomaniacal administration that is out of touch with America. It's not a reason for celebration though, because the next set of pinkos will learn from this over-reach. Obama should have governed center-right until after November.....greedy bastard.

At no point have I entertained the idea of an isolationist foreign policy. Non-interventionism is not isolationism. You can trade, travel, exchange goods and services and ideas, without getting entangled in the internal affairs of other nations...as Thomas Jefferson recomended.

"Remember, the US was mostly out of that part of the world throughout the 90's."

This is simply untrue.

"Some of these countries either directly or indirectly supported the training of violent extremists. For what purpose? To export their extreme beliefs to the rest of the world by force, which they have done repeatedly over the 80's, 90's, and up to today."

Why are we seeing extremists? They are being encouraged by foreign military presence, just as Americans would not like Arabs on the mainland telling them what to do and trying to influence the politics. The more radical elements of their Koran are being looked to as a result of military presence on their land. No matter how you slice it you can't deny this.

"Just looking at this case from the narrow window of only after the US invaded completely forgets the reason we are there in the first place, which was they brought the fight to us on 9/11."

In fact I think you may be looking at it narrowly....I am looking back to world war I and the manifestations of colonialism and imperialism. Always remember that 9/11 was a reaction. It is important to find out the question to what? The answer seems to be bad foreign policy that has been in that region for quite sometime. Look back to the west carving up the region after world war I and the actions that surround that.

Before anybody goes Bill Maher on me...let Sheriff Joe Arpaio have them. They'll be crying to Allah for Gitmo. Pink jumpsuits, tents, flip flops, sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner, no tv...still better than they got at Osama's Country Day School for Wayward Jihadists, I'm pretty sure. All they had to do was sign the damn Geneva Convention and stay the Hell off the battlefield when our guys show up. But Old Sheriff Joe would get their minds right!

An isolationist policy does not work either. Remember, the US was mostly out of that part of the world throughout the 90's. What happened? Some of these countries either directly or indirectly supported the training of violent extremists. For what purpose? To export their extreme beliefs to the rest of the world by force, which they have done repeatedly over the 80's, 90's, and up to today.

Just looking at this case from the narrow window of only after the US invaded completely forgets the reason we are there in the first place, which was they brought the fight to us on 9/11.

Ah yes, name calling without any ability to address the subject matter. A true sign of someone on the left. You took the easy way out because you are not ready to deal the substance I have put forth. No sir you have yet to learn from history and ignore the bright shining evidence sitting right in front you and lack the capability to put 2 and 2 together.Read what I wrote again, see if facts and logic can make their way through to you. I stand by every word I said unchanged. It is you who wants to set America up to be hit again, and you want these islamic fascists to destroy the American economy and bring America down just the way they did the Soviets. You don't fight wars with 11 trillion dollar debt. When you have no money to pay soldiers what happens? Look to the Romans for that answer. Let's get the brain turned on Dan and smell the currency erosion.The islamic fascists seem smart enough to get it, but you don't. The same people saying there's a threat REFUSE to secure the border. You yourself were incapable of refuting ANY of the points I brought up, hence you go to name calling, like a liberal. Either you are to stupid to see what's in front of your face or you're just in denial....which is it?

If I was a soldier right now, my policy would be NO PRISONERS, NO QUARTER.

Dead men can't sue you.

...is complete nonsense, until the border is secure and every last illegal alien in this country is encouraged to head home by means of taking away entitlements. If you leave your back door open, obviously you yourself do not believe there is a threat.

Curiously.....if we took the CIA's definition of terrorism and applied it to the founding fathers vs the British in 1776....would the British have considered the founders to be terrorists?

So if Arabs had been in America since world war I, trying to force shari'a law onto Americans and trying to tell Americans how to live, redrawing the geographic boundaries of America...and the people of America decided to fight back against this sort of thing,however they knew how, you would be consistent about calling Americans thugs also? Should Americans put up with that sort of treatment? I think not. Im not sure why Americans would expect other countries to put up with what they wouldn't want to put up with. Its time for some traditional conservatism and exiting Iraq and Afghanistan asap. American Military presence in the region is helping to solidify the jihadist cause and is giving islamic fascists an efficient recruitment tool and is making the world less safe. Why put soldiers over there while the border remains wide open. People let's turn our brains on and away from this neo-con mysticism foreign policy adventurism Neal dabbles in and turn to traditional conservatism. America is not the wolrd's police and our economy is begging us to admit this unarguable fact to ourselves.

Take away the laptop that some misguided fool gave them in Gitmo, and throw his a$$ back in there.

Have they not realized that government employees are generally immune to lawsuits? If Dems had their way, a truly nationalized healthcare system would bring in thousands of doctors into the government workforce. They would then become immune from malpractice lawsuits. I guess this could be the upside of the argument.

i wouldn't be grateful to any foreign army that had spared my life. there still a foreign army on my soil. and i would have done the same things, i hope my grenade attack would kill them. and they let me out, i would sue somebody. you know why? because their army is still on my country's soil.

you don't do much of that "walk a mile in his shoes" understanding kind of things?

matt, he's NOT a libertarian. but he plays one on the radio.

when you try to be mr. nice guy.
If they saw him throw the grenade they shoulda blown his head off right then and there. Game over.

I'm with you. Shoot the bastard. President Obamuppet's administration is running out of control on all fronts.They've got it totally ass backwards on protecting the American people against terrorists.

This B/S along with Holder's recent announcement of CIA investigations should put to rest any soldier or marine's anguish over shooting people in combat areas. Shoot to kill!

He was 12 in 2002 yet his father died in the 80s fighting the Soviets. Unless his father died as the Soviets were leaving in February of 89, this man is lying.
