Of course they’re not enemy combatants. To the leftists now running this country, they’re “freedom fighters”.

Wherever the authority to hold these pukes comes from, if Obama doesn't want to exercise it, just announce the time and place and turn them loose.

The American people are itching to do jobs their government won't!.

What's the new term? Shall we have a contest?

How about 'Professor' (After Ayers and Dohrn.)

How about 'Comrade Revolutionary'?

In my day, we had words for that: “enemy combatants in the wire”. Actually we didn’t use “enemy combatants”, but the word meant the same thing.

Well, we need to be politically correct. The term “enemy combatant” was loaded with implications of people wanting to do violence against America. That term hurt their self-esteem. So, we’ll have to use a new politically correct term to indicate who these people are.

If the president doesn’t have the authority to hold them does the president have the authority to let them go? Shouldn’t it be congress who makes that decision?

“The Obama administration is abandoning one of President George W. Bush’s key phrases in the war on terrorism: enemy combatant.”

I called them dead commies. My father called them dead Nazis. My grandfather called them dead Boche. Nope, couldn’t find any “enemy combatants.” The enemy is the enemy and they”re best viewed dead.

B. Hussein has done it!

He's removed all enemy combatats from the world.....just by making the term illegal.

Amazing, I expect to see it in every headline of the msm.

" Obama Removes All Enemy Combatants!"

Patriots and infidels hurt worst.
