MR. RUSSERT: Let me turn to Guantanamo. In October--excuse me, December of 2003, "John McCain said he is concerned about the failure to move ahead with prisoners' trials at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. ...`These cases have to be disposed of one way or another. After keeping someone two years, a decision should be made.'"
That was a year and a half ago. It's now been three and a half years. Should we close it?
SEN. McCAIN: I don't think necessarily. But I think the important thing is it's not the facility at Guantanamo, it's the adjudication of the cases of the prisoners who have been held there without trial or without any adjudication of their cases. So the frustration is not the fact we have a facility at Guantanamo, although that certainly becomes symbolic. The frustration is, is: What are we going to do with these people?
Now, I know that some of these guys are terrible, terrible killers and the worst kind of scum of humanity. But, one, they deserve to have some adjudication of their cases. And there's a fear that if you release them that they'll go back and fight again against us. And that may have already happened. But balance that against what it's doing to our reputation throughout the world and whether it's enhancing recruiting for people to join al-Qaeda and other organizations and want to do bad things to the United States of America. I think, on balance, the argument has got to be--the weight of evidence has got to be that we've got to adjudicate these people's cases, and that means that if it means releasing some of them, you'll have to release them.
Look, even Adolf Eichmann got a trial. I mean, these--we are signatories to numerous agreements on human rights, against torture, universal declaration on human rights, etc. So that means we have to do something with these people. And I hope we can move that process forward very soon.
OK........let ‘em go....but do it this way....keep them in their bright orange uniforms, put them on a cargo plane headed to afghanistan....strap a parachute on them...just before you kick them out the door, hand them an ak-47...notify the seal team of the drop zone and have them waiting...the situation will take care of itself
Sadly, that’s a bullseye, Meek.
The best thing about McCain is that he’s pro-life.
His downside is a long list.
The best thing about Obama is that he’s a 100%, unadulterated world socialist.
America will either wake up or go down sleeping while the enemy invades the land.
They will be tried or released eventually.
I haven’t made a photoshop pic in a long time.
I came up with that just recently because it states
exactly how I feel about this election, our choices.
Not much of a choice, huh??? :(
But McRINO doesn’t stink quite as much as Barack
“Milhous” O’Socialist does...
And thanks.
Anywhoooo...
gotta head out to woik now.
Have a SUPER day!
Any way you look at it, the rule of law is going out the window and it's going to get much worse no matter who wins in November.
I think of it less as a conspiracy (crap)idea, as an opinion.
I think that Obama could be put in the same boat, considering how much “crap” he has listened to for over twenty years under Pastor Wrong.
As for McCain … who knows what psychological “crap” he was subjected to during his incarceration.
WE should be just as concerned about OBama time as a community activist aka radical left wing lawyer for ACCORN ! The voter fraud operation the Dem operate in all the ghettos and homeless shelters across the country . Obama knows in depth how to steal an election. So when you hear Osama or that lovely Michele peddle that community activist code thats what there talking about. Stealing elections with voter fraud.
I hope you don’t buy into the MSM lie that anyone against McCain is for Obama.
We do have other candidates, you know.
