Since they were clearly combatants they must not be an enemy to him.

Besides being wrong, Obama is just wrong. Did I mention that he’s wrong?

[SECURE AMERICA]

If an organized army of people target your nation, your citizens, your interests all over the planet, if they bomb, shoot, and otherwise slaugther your citizens,if their stated goal is the destruction of yiou yiour nation and civilization what would you call these people?
Misguided youth?
Criminals ?
no good sob’s?
How about ENEMY COMBATANTs
Our current President is a MORON..........

[Dilbert San Diego]

We have to be politically correct. The term “enemy combatant” hurts the self-esteem of terrorists. The term is loaded with innuendo and assumptions about their behavior. We have to prove that we aren’t discriminating against those who would destroy us, because as Obama says, we have to live up to our highest ideas and ideals. We have to do all that to prove to the terrorists that we won’t put underwear on their heads anymore, as happened at Abu Grahib(sp?).

Did they read the dudes at Gitmo their Miranda rights before they picked them up off the battle field and put them there?

God Forbid anything like Sept. 11th happens again. I wonder what Obama would do in response to an event like that. I hope and pray we don’t find out.

Obama has ordered that they be called Undocumented Guest Democrats.

Don't worry, be happy. Obambi has been taking lessons from the Clinton book of "what is, is."

Obama says he will close Gitmo. So, they change the name of Gitmo. No more enemy combatants? They'll just invent another name for them too. End the "War in Iraq" by calling the U.S. forces there by another name. See a pattern yet?

The proper term is "unlawful combatant" and in fact it was widely used (even in the media!) for a good many months after 9/11, until some kind of insidious and mendacious media meme took place to change it to an ambiguous "enemy combatant" (ambiguity being the friend of sissy journalists), which means nothing. Even the article above states the Geneva Conventions term is "unlawful combatant" and there is in fact no legal term "enemy combatant", unless it's the guys in uniform. Jihadis are always "unlawful combatants"!

Big red rant off!

[Anti-Kenyan]

It would be wrong of the president to critizise his muslim bretheren.

[RWB Patriot]

Obama’s pretty much taking a dump on the very thing people were whining about us violating in the first place (Geneva Convention) by essentially saying what it says doesn’t matter.

By the terms of the Geneva Convention, these people are enemy combatants and not subject to protection of the Convention. By removing that term, Obama has pretty much voided the entire thing; if one part isn’t to be followed, why should any of it?
