I am so sick and tired of John McCain. This idiot stick doesn't even understand the fundamental issues associated with the Geneva Convention discussion today.

1. The terrorists are not signatories
2. The terrorists do not abide by the Geneva Convention themselves
..a. They do not wear uniforms
..b. They target civilians
..c. They torture captive soldiers and civilians
..d. They behead their captive soldiers
..e. They behead their captive civilians
..f. They specifically target women and children

Those who adhere to the Geneva Convention are easier to apprehend or defend against. It is the special status of the terrorist that makes it so important to apprehend them.

If given regular trials, the terrorist will be given access to top level documents and privileged information. This they can pass on to other terrorists through their attorneys, family members or friends.

Should we extend Geneva Convention treatment to people who blow up market places? Should we provide cover to people who will hijack airliners and fly them into targets at will? Should we give any consideration at all to those who would target any person on the planet including our President or other political leaders?

John McCain, you are aiding the enemy. You are an absolute fool. You're an embarrassment to anyone you associate yourself with, including our government.

Sit down and shut the hell up!

You did not win the Presidency. The American public saw right through you. Now quit siding with the enemies of our nation.

"I am so sick and tired of John McCain."

He spent 7 years having to listen to bad music ---or things ( by his formulation) "just like that." Big fricken deal, so does every Marine.

Do the "soldiers" in Iraq or Afghanistan hold one American POW?
