    Great Post, Brother....

    This was a great post. There are NO good excuses, as your comments have shown, to support the THUGS as anything but non-military combatants. The law allows us to shoot them dead. That is what we should do. Obama didn't mind taking out three pirates....however, shooting these guys would be too big a descision for him to make.

    Shoot them NOW, or we'll see them again. That's a fact, Jack!:tonofbricks:

    Please get back on topic. This thread will not be closed because of a bait-and-switch tactic.

    No, the GITMO detainees are not under the Geneva Convention. They should have all been shot as enemy combatants even after we got information out of them. Instead, they have been treated better than our own soldiers guarding them.

    Well said Lady Eagle. In a day when we were not so political correct that would have happened.

    Nice switcheroo. Let me see...

    "Pharisees were conservative. You are conservative. Thus, you're a phariseee."

    Nice try...but when you change a definition, you can't pull the transitive card. The "conservative" of the Pharisees is not how we use the word now. You know that, but since it hurts your argument, you choose to ignore it.

    Now try again, this time playing by the rules of logic.
