Yes, McCain, Eichman was tried, convicted and hung SEVENTEEN YEARS AFTER THE END OF THE WAR! We're still at war here, senator.

[infidel29]

"even Adolf Eichmann got a trial,"

McCain is a grade "A" asshole. Yes Eichmann did get a trial for the crimes against the Jews and humanity during WWII in the 1940s. The trial came 15 years after the war ended, when Eichmann was finally arrested in Argentina in 1960.

The jihaddis in GITMO have another 12 years at least by McIdiot's logic.

Good catch. I missed that. This is from Perot's bio:

---

In 1956, he married Margot Birmingham from Greensburg, Pennsylvania, whom he met while a midshipman at the Naval Academy. Upon his honorable discharge from the Navy in 1957, Ross and Margot settled in Dallas where he went to work for IBM's data processing division as a salesman. ...

In 1969, the U.S. government asked Perot to determine what action might be taken to improve the brutal treatment our POW's were receiving in Southeast Asia. He worked on this project for the next four years, placing himself and his family at considerable personal risk, until the prisoners were released in 1972 at the end of the Vietnam War. In recognition of his efforts, Perot received the Medal for Distinguished Public Service, the highest civilian award presented by the Department of Defense...

Arguing that "even Adolf Eichmann got a trial,'' Republican Sen. John McCain said Sunday that the Bush administration must establish a system to try and perhaps free suspected terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - even if they turn around and attack the United States"

THIS IS A JOKE RIGHT. IF MCCAIN SAID THIS HE IS NO BETTER THAN TURBIN.

Yes by all means let's let these Islamofascist loose so they can attack us yet again. and this guy wants to be Pres.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Gee, there is something worse than decapititaion?

[Tribune7]

He agreed with former presidential candidate Ross Perot, also a former POW,

Ah, I don't think so.

[Coop]

FYI, my post above.

[DoughtyOne]

snicker...

[Coop]

Ah, I don't think so.

Yes, but based on the info in his bio (I didn't realize his intimate involvement with the POW issue), it's an understandable mistake.

[You Dirty Rats]

I wonder why Zell never gets the red-carpet media treatment that McCain gets.

Zell doesn't attack the President and therefore is of no use to the MSM.

[jackbill]

Perot was never, ever a POW. He graduated from the Naval Academy in 1953, served on a couple of ships and was discharged in 1957. I don't think many people were taking prisoners during that period.

[Coop]

This may be old news, but I just saw it on another thread.

Frist calls for Durbin to apologize.

[Coop]

See post #43 re: Perot and POWs.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

not true.....the writer is lying or confused

Let's not jump to conclusions. Maybe John Kerry spotted Perot in a POW camp in Cambodia during a secret CIA recon mission and then tipped the writer. Kerry did a lot that sort of thing during his twelve tours of duty in Vietnam.

[BIGLOOK]

Loose McCannon!

[isthisnickcool]

McCain, crappy pilot, crappy senator.

[Mo1]

THIS IS A JOKE RIGHT. IF MCCAIN SAID THIS HE IS NO BETTER THAN TURBIN

EXACTLY!

[Soul Seeker]

So McCain wants to release terrorists to kill more of our soldiers, innocent men women and children for PR?!!

Senator Nitwit, what do you think the PR will be when another plane launches into a building led by a GITMO detainee released to placate crybabies that believe a high AC is comparable to Pol Pot's tortures!

DECLARE YOURSELF ONE OF THE COWARDLY APPEASEMENT TERRORIST SYMPATHEZERS OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY NOW!

YOU, SIR, are NO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PARTY OF LINCOLN!

[Cannoneer]

RP wasn't a POW. He offered $1 million for the release of POWs and his vp candidate, Stockdale, was an ex POW who was released the same time McCain was.

[Mo1]

So McCain wants to release terrorists to kill more of our soldiers, innocent men women and children for PR?!!

Apparently

I REALLY HATE STUPID PEOPLE
