Page 2 of 2 Back USS Cole suspect charges dropped Believed to be mastermind of attack on Navy ship Eli Lake and Stephen Dinan, THE WASHINGTON TIMES Friday, February 6, 2009 Comment Print Font Size Share Got a Question? You Report Click-2-Listen Buzz up!The al-Nashiri trial was the last one still ongoing Thursday night because Col. James L. Pohl, the chief judge of the Guantanamo Bay War Crimes court, refused to abide by the executive orders.

Peter Gadiel, whose son died in the Sept. 11 attacks and who runs 9/11 Families for a Secure America, will attend the Friday meeting. He said he expected about 30 family members of victims to be there.

He said if Mr. Obama does close the detention facility and have trials in U.S. courts, some terrorists will go free and, he predicted, take part in more terrorist plots.

"When they commit terrorist acts, the blood of the victims will be on his hands," Mr. Gadiel said of Mr. Obama

Seriously, don’t waste your breath, you’re not going to find any of those “real” Republicans admitting they thought it was a good thing to let Obama in to “teach the RNC a lesson” or whatever. For some reason they’re all very, very quiet now.

I almost wish our system would allow both candidates to have a month in power, and after that we have the election. Not able to create legislation, just BE president.

McCain wouldn’t have been ideal, but he’d be ten thousand times better than this utter fool we have in the WH now.

LOL. That would be funny if there wasn’t an element of truth to it.

Obama will offer “reparations” to the families of the suicide bombers who took out the Cole, while lecturing the families of the American sailors on the need for “accomodation”.

Oh yeah baby! We're sure teaching the GOP a lesson now aren't we?!

So what is your suggestion? I'm not trying to be snarky, but now is certainly not the time to play "I told ya so." (Not that I fall under your 'inactivist" category.)

What exactly are our options? I'm being serious here. I have no idea what to do other than emailing, faxing and calling my reps in Washington.

I really hate this helpless feeling.

That’s why I held my nose and supported McCain. And I was amazed I could do it because I have never found anything to like about him. But faced with Obama......Mccain started to look good.

I’ll bet the USN is just swelling with pride today /s

We are in a war with AQ and Obama drops the charges against the persian head of AQ.

Great links, Jeff. Thanks for your excellent research on BHO.

Have you compiled any information on Obama's birth certificate scandal?

“No, it was Obama that did this. He made the order. Pathetic how some freeprs will cover for Obama no matter what he does.”

No one is covering for zero. Did you read the article? Susan Crawford ordered this. This is the same DOD bureaucrat who had charges dropped against the 20th hijacker last month. Did zero order her other decision last month before he was president?

Closing Gitmo and the future body count is 100% on 0 but these left over Bush appointees are not done doing damage to this country.

First let me say, I voted for Palin. But let's face it, sometimes you have to break it before you can fix it. Bush gave us a slow bleed, McCain would have been a gash, now we have an obvious gaping wound.

I understand our fellow Freeper's disdain for McCain. Now the GOP does a "me too" with putting, possibly, another RINO at the helm, but at least he's a black man. The Stupid party lives!

Susan Crawford is the broad who gave that nutty “torture” interview to Bob Woodward last month. She has total power of these proceedings and is proceeding to reek havoc.

The victims of terrorism should do things the American way and go to court to get an injunction to stop the closing of Gitmo, and to order the trial of the terrorists.

They probobaly won't have "standing." Geez.

So what is your suggestion? ... now is certainly not the time to play "I told ya so." .... What exactly are our options? I'm being serious here.

Well. How bout this: Next to nothing until 2010 and 2012.

This is what I'm trying to answer to 82nd's question and all the pitchfork-activists we have now on FR.

Consider for a moment that the reason you feel helpless is....because the only time we have a chance to choose the fork in the road with our hellbound handcart is at the friggin fork in the road (aka the elections.)

All this handwringing now is sound and fury signifying nothing.

We act like the Dubai ports deal and the Immigration bill was some kind of miraculous grassroots win. It was a distraction, because now who are we going to call? Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid?? We undermined the people who would at least take our calls.

Well, where are we now? The socialists run the bridge and we're swabbing the deck.

The stimulus bill has funding for 300,000 illegal immigrant jobs and God knows what else, and it wont be but a few weeks before we see that new Amnesty bill coming, and the GOP is so weakened that we won't be able to do anything but dicker over the pricetag.

The GOp has some culpability for giving us McCain. Yeah? But it also gave us Palin. BTW, did you ever hear a word one from Sarah Palin before McCain pulled her out of obscurity and put her on the stage? Do you think she'd be on national TV and books right now without McQueeg-the-RINO setting her up?

Do you think the conservapurists would've done anything to bring her to the stage or would they just keep whining about poor Duncan Hunter got cheated.

DAMMIT. I'm sorry to rant in your direction, stentorian and 82nd, but MAYBE CONSERVATIVES WILL TAKE THE ELECTION SERIOUSLY NEXT TIME.

It wont matter what we do. Obama and his minions believe that they are acting on a mandate from the people to do stuff like this. Wether this is true or not doesn't matter because he will function like the king that the media told him he is.
This is what happens when a person gets elected to the most powerful office on earth that is a outright Marxist and Anti American. And we can thank Mccain and the Country Club Republicans for all this. If only the RNC put a person up against Obama that had Balls and the will to fight, we might have had a chance.
When we get hit again and again, then the American people will finally stand up to this man and his Islamic Thugs.

MCCain also promised to close Gitmo. It was a lose-lose election
