Reparations for Al Qaeda (Does Obama believe it's time for America to apologize to al Qaeda?)
American Spectator ^ | 7/28/08 | Jeffrey Lord

Does Barack Obama believe it's time for America to apologize to al Qaeda?

Does he share the increasingly vocal calls of his fellow liberals that Americans should not just apologize to Osama and his followers but pay reparations as well? Having cited the U.S. treatment of Nazis, does he now believe the U.S. government should be subjected to a class action suit by his trial lawyer allies on behalf of any surviving Nazi soldiers or their descendants?

You think I'm joking, right? Wrong.

The push has begun among Obama's fellow-liberals for reparations to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda warriors. Look no further than the Los Angeles Times review of the new book by liberal journalist Jane Mayer, The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals. Mayer's indictment of the Bush administration's fight against terrorism has predictably received glowing reviews from the gatekeepers of liberalism, including a July 15th review from Times staff writer Tim Rutten.

Osama and his Al Quida followers are getting untold reparations paid to them over and over on the receiving end of Hell Fire, JDAM, and Tomohawk munitions.

Millions and millions...tens of millions of doallars worth of them being paid to them on account of their efforts.

Such reparations should continue and be increased on an individual or group basis whenever one or more of them show their faces.

Though we are on the same page regarding Obama, I can’t vote McCain. My contribution to him will only be tearing down his marxist opponent.

Understood...keeping Obama from the reigns of power is by far my greater motivation.

I was SURE this was satire..It just HAD to be...

But with Hussien...it is getting VERY difficult to write ANYTHING satirical anymore—because he is SO “out there”!!

Don't forget to read my tagline.

“Not a single one of these men ( i.e., German, Japanese, and Italian soldiers held in the U.S) were given their habeas corpus rights.”

It gets even better. Unless I missed it, the article doesn’t mention a case where non-uniformed German combatants, i.e., would-be satoteurs, were captured on Long Island and in Florida before they could do any harm. Roosevelt ordered that they be tried IN SECRET BY A MILITARY TRIBUNAL. They were all executed except for one or two who ratted the rest out. They got life. Did anyone demand compensation for their families and relatives? I don’t know but I doubt it. Until this bizarre Supreme Court majority came along, no U.S. court and no U.S. law has ever held that foreign combatants held in the U.S. had habeas corpus rights.

I always thought Obama was their man on the inside.
