“Bending over backward is a very bad position from which to try to defend yourself.”

I’m not sure who needs to hear that the most - Democrats on foreign policy, or Republicans on everything else.

Even under the Geneva Convention, enemy soldiers have no right to be turned loose before the war is over.

Sowell BTT. The Libs' legalistic fantasy games are going to get a lot of people killed.

It is time for Obama to go. He is the worst POTUS we have ever had.

Those who choose to live outside of the law should not be granted advantage over those who live within the law by foolish, self-serving, pompous politicians. By granting them protections they haven't earned obama has given terrorists more protection than he is providing for the citizens who elected his fool a$$.

Liberals, lefties and lawyers. They don’t fight. Their kids will never serve. So, it costs them nothing, and they reap class benefits.

“President Obama can ban the phrase “war on terror” but he cannot ban the terrorists’ war on us. That war continues, so there is no reason to turn terrorists loose before it ends. They chose to make it that kind of war. We don’t need to risk American lives to prove that we are nicer than they are.”

I love Dr. Sowell as much as I loathe 0bama!

“Repercussions extend far beyond issues of the day. It is bad enough that we have a glib and sophomoric narcissist in the White House. What is worse is that whole nations that rely on the United States for their security see how easily our president welshes on his commitments. So do other nations, including those with murderous intentions toward us, our children and grandchildren.”

And seriously...when you read his statements, the writing is so fine that it sounds gentle...but then you realize, too late, that you’re being beheaded, LOL!

Nice to see an educated, articulate, realist of a black MAN, chiding Brother 0bama!

“We don’t need to risk American lives to prove that we are nicer than they are.”

The irony here is that the issue always comes down to this in war: who is better?

Americans are better.

We need the courage to answer so. Better to fight for and save the better people.

Unfortunately, we have become so self-flagellant that many so-called Americans don’t think that any more. Nor would they dare ask such a question.

[M]uch of what has been happening in recent times in the United States, and in Western civilization in general, suggests that survival is taking a back seat to the shibboleths of political correctness.

People will fight harder to perserve their self image than their lives.
