Yes that's a possibility but that didn't keep us from rescuing the nation of Iraq.
If we can't rescue one person in our own nation from cruel and unusual punishment, we've gone to hell in a handbag.
Congressman Weldon is coming on Fox in a few minutes and he is going to tell why he is not going to sit idly by whiel this happens....he wants the President to take Terri out of there by Federal Marshalls is what I heard earlier, he should be on after this commercial....
That was over there in Iraq.
The Bushes are looking at an entirely different set of circumstances here. I don't know if you have read my post #1693 or not, with all that is going on, but it lays out the scenario on a domestic basis that they are looking at if they start a violent attempt to get Terri. And I have no doubt it would be violent and bloody.
I agree with you it is a travesty to rescue the nation of Iraq but not rescue this helpless, valiant woman who is being tortured and killed. My original post best explains why they would view it very differently from a foreign war. The Courts are already ruling the Congress and the Executive.
It is already in place. Look at what the 11th circuit did. The Supremes will do it next. The public is all for Greer and Michael, because they don't have a clue. The Bushes do not want to precipitate death, injury and mayhem, maybe kill a number of Floridians as well as Federales, perhaps nurses in the Hospice, etc. etc. against the public perception, public will and judicial rulings.
In my post, I argue that something must be done in the long run, but only just now is it dawning on the Bush brothers that the threat from judges, the death lobby and public indifference is so horrific. Why, just last night, the WH was saying President Bush was resting his hopes in the 11th Circuit. What does that tell you?
He must wonder what happened to America while he was fighting terrorism, just like we wonder. And his answer will not be to set off a domestic war in Pinellas Park FL. Nor will the Governor want to do that, either. See my post for fuller explanation.
God bless you, tutstar, for all you have done and are doing...
