As Andy McCarthy later points out, Congress intentionally passed on the opportunity to fix this last year; - Rep. Jerrold Nadler told Newsweek. “Let the courts deal with it.” - and surrendered in the WOT. Like 5 of 9 SCOTUS justices in Boumediene v Bush, a majority in Congress keeps trying to surrender while the enemy keeps coming with mass-murderous intent.

The motivation for taking prisoners is shrinking day by day.

Actually I look at this to be a failure and capitulation of our government...

Not of the people...

This just kinda frees us up to take care of this when the time comes...

OHHHH, but Stevie, you can’t take the law into your own hands!!!

Who says anything about the law??? There is no law...

People need to understand we can change this in November 2010, and in some cases get it all started this year in local elections...

Lets see, it took less than 60 days for the elected leader of this country to turn us upside down...And threre is not much we can do about it right now...

I would like to see how fired up people are in 20 or so months...And carry that right on into 2012...That may sound like a long time, and sure it’ll be hard to watch...But I bet we don’t have too many people that will remember any of this garbage...

What we had better hope is that there is not a really bad terrorist attack between now and then...

...just my opinion...

Well, I’ll say it. There are people in Congress who WANT another attack on America. Just as there are people in Washington who WANT America destroyed, ie, fundamentally altered. A little crisis (like say a major terrorist strike) goes a long way toward the goal of altering America.

THE WAY IT WAS:

Millions of Islamic calendars PREDICTING THE attacks on America years in advance.

President George W. Bush (2001):
“You’re either on our side or the terrorists’ side”.


THE WAY IT IS:

Excellent, detailed, blood-curdling article.

Factor in the enormous resource drain the litigation requires, and holding prisoners becomes a net loss for the war effort. And the war effort becomes a waste of time unless you only kill rather than capture — which is al-Qaeda’s way of doing things, but not ours.

That's okay, because if the soldiers kill the enemy, then the left will see that they tried for murder when they get back. So everything's groovy for radical Islam.

Modern Law, and thus lawyers, have been the enemy of good for decades.

Frankly, a right, just and freedom loving lawyer should be in jail, as a well recognized enemy of the present legal system.

Most lawyers are little more than glorified clerks, and no, zero, zip political education and wouldn’t know Locke or Burke if you shoved them down their throats.

The few who can think beyond musty case law are mostly Marxists.

We are done.

These judges are doing their best to make sure the American people stop taking them seriously.

How long can they escape public accountability?

Sickening. I suppose the bottom lone message here is to take no prisoners.

We wonder if this expansive view of discovery will be applied in cases about the eligibility of the One? So far it does not seems so.

The courts and Congress are not at war with radical Islam. Therefore, the nation is not at war with radical Islam, since it has not acted through its representatives in Congress assembled.

This is what Congress (and therefore the nation) being at war would look like:

" the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against [radical Islam]; and to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United states."

"The President is hereby directed to..."

"Entire naval and military forces...and the resources of the government..."

"All the resources of the country are hereby pledged..."

That's war. What we have now is a charade.

“This outcome has always been the fondest dream of the anti-war Left...Democrats knew that, if they sat on their hands, the courts would do their dirty work for them. And so it has come to pass.”

In a nutshell.

Good Morning, Sir.

I cannot express to you how disturbing this is.

They have no shame, no caring, no conscience, and we’re talking about our own home grown terrorists, our so called elected officials.

Obama and congress, like Clinton, are dedicated to destroying the military and our National Security System

Clinton effectively emasculated the CIA and FBI, and reduced the Military with enough downsizing that if you took everything he cut it would make a sizeable military better than many countries have.

I have absolutely no problem with the ‘shoot to kill’ mentality this is going to instill in our brave military members.

No prisoners, no problems.

And while we’re at it, lets instill a little more of that line of thinking in each of us citizens, as it’s going to come down to we, Americans, defending our country ourselves because it’s very apparent that the enemy IS within the gates.
