The “D” word I don’t want to hear Obama say is “detain”. We are in a fight for survival against religious fanatics, and history has shown us what atrocities men will do in the name of their god. You cannot and will not rehabilitate these people. If you locked them up Guantanamo style for 60 years the day they’re released they will pick up where they left off, albeit a little slower. And there is no meaningful dialogue or negotiation with these monsters who are psychotically intolerant of others and have repeatedly demonstrated an eagerness to seek the deaths of these “others”.
Our leaders need to realize that this is a war of extinction, either ours or theirs. Prisoners will only delay that decision. It’s not a pleasant thing that will have to be done, but if we shy away from exterminating these vermin and instead show mercy, they will eventually succeed. Period.
I think deep in his heart, the Obungler would like to see them succeed, but he is bring backed into a corner by the American people, that he does not want to be in. It will be interesting to see where it goes from here.
