Like it or not, austrian voices the “new” official policy towards “those folks”. Have you noticed that the O’bumbler administration is loathe to even use the terms “terrorist” or “Global war on terror”?

We recognize how fatally flawed his feeeeeelings are in respect to detainment and prosecution of dangerous militant terrorists. We knew that something had to be done with these terrorists. We knew that some milquetoast types would grumble but when given an opportunity to actually tour the Gitmo facility and see how the detainees were treated, they were mostly satisfied.

The new administration has signaled their intention of returning to the old failed policy of treating terrorism as a criminal offense instead of a violation of national defense. It didn’t work under slick and it won’t work under the Anointed “0”ne.

Actions have consequences and often those consequences are unpredictable. If we are unable to remove combatants from the field of battle other methods of eliminating them as a threat will occur. If we are prevented from obtaining the intel we need through straightforward channels, we will obtain that intel through other methods - or our soldiers will perish. If the left thinks our military will allow that to happen they are in for a rude awakening.

One last thought:

Our erstwhile friend austrian responded to one of his debaters by stating that “...hmm i guess i simple use my right of freedom of speach to point out my oppinion.” I woud hasten to point out to our friend that he isn’t (by his own admission) an US citizen and therefore enjoying the privilege of “free speach” (sic) thanks to our generosity (Austria has a constitution but no Bill of rights. They have no right to free speech!).

Remember austrian when criticizing your betters, to practice your manners...

Good post - I don’t think Austrian is here to have a discussion as much as he is here to change our opinions on gitmo.
He is a liberal pushing liberal opinions in a conservative forum.
Also, I don’t think he has ever known liberty or he would not think like that.

you are wrong. i´m here to discuss and i guess it´s vital for every discussion that you try to “convince” the other part about your personal oppinon. so does the other. every one trys to point out his view. at least after that you can agree that you don´t agree.
i´m not an american so i can not be a liberal or a conservative but i agree my personal views may be viewed as liberal on this message board for the most of the time.
and for the “conservative message board” yes this is indeed one of the main reasons i like debatting here. usually “we”
don´t agree on anything here but it´s interessting to hear different views and talk about it. i´m allways interessted in different views.

i have never known liberty because i think the way i do? sorry but i really don´t know what you are talking about.
