Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator John McCain (R AZ) issued the following statement on the Obama Administration’s decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) and four other Al-Qaeda terrorists suspected of planning and executing the September 11th attacks in the United States Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York:
“I am extremely disappointed with the Obama Administration’s decision to try in U.S. civilian courts the Al-Qaeda terrorists who planned, supported, and conducted the September 11th attacks. These terrorists are not common criminals. They are war criminals, who committed acts of war against our citizens and those of dozens of other nations.
“Terrorists who have declared war against our country should be treated as war criminals and tried for their crimes through military tribunals. In a letter sent to Congress just last week, hundreds of families of victims of the September 11th attacks urged the Administration to try these terrorists in military tribunals, and I fully respect and agree with their position. I have worked tirelessly with my colleagues in Congress and with the Obama Administration to make our military tribunals system better able to dispense justice efficiently and fairly while protecting secure information. If military tribunals are suitable for the terrorists who attacked our sailors aboard the U.S.S. Cole, as the Obama Administration has decided, then military tribunals are certainly the right venue to try the Al-Qaeda terrorists, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who murdered thousands of innocent civilians on September 11, 2001.
“Today’s decision sends a mixed message about America’s resolve in the fight against terrorism. We are at war, and we must bring terrorists to justice in a manner consistent with the horrific acts of war they have committed.”

Just what the Hell did John expect? None of what is happening should surprise anyone who pays attention.
Hey, McLame! Why don’t you just shut your pie hole?
You are NOT a leader in the GOP; you have very few conservative values that you support; you are one of the major RINOs that will, hopefully, soon be extinct; and, you are barely a little more centered than the far left Obama fanatics. ......By the way... Take that ditzy daughter of yours with you when you get kicked out of politics!
Maybe,just maybe mcnutts should have been just a little tougher on bambi during the campaign.
McLamey a disgrace to what once was the “ Grand Old Party “ and a traitor to boot . I honestly believe he obeyed orders from those who hold the real power and threw the election . Do we have enough trees from which to hang all the traitors and treasonous scum in the White House , Senate , Congress and the media ????
I could not agree more.Mcnutts did some of the most stupid things during the campaign for instance suspending it to go back and vote for the first big bailout.Had he said no that would have set him apart from the rest but that would have meant he had to be a conservative and we both know that he never was.He also should have buried that prick in the debates and didnt.I guess he did not want to offend his liberal friends across the isle.
Reagan would have DESTROYED Obama !
No prostrating going on here .
What a WORLD of diffrence 20 years can make ! 20 years from now - unless we rid the country of Obama , 90% of Congress and Senate and boycott the MSM , we will be third world .
It’s REVOLUTION 2 time !
Enough trees?
Hell, we only need 1 for the POTUS + 9 for the SCOTUS + a dozen or so for the libtard governors + 535 for Congress + a couple hundred more for the MSM head wackos + several hundred additional for all the Marxist university professors + several thousand for all the lawyers + several thousand for the ACLU scumbags + several thousand for the AMA traitors + several thousand more for the AARP ... OH, WAIT...
Errr, uhmmmm... hmmmm ... Perhaps you are correct. HEY! All you idiots at the EPA... We gotta plant more forests so we can grow trees to hang your sorry asses from! Get moving!
LOL !
But Senator McCain, I thought Obama would make a “fine President” and we had nothing to be afraid of!
Juan McLame is an idiot rino piece of crap.
Lame had too much going against him to win the presidency, and he still almost beat the Progressive Marxist. Amazing.
The marxists are coming on strong, and they won't surrender, they've got to face a solid, unyielding granite wall.
The "I'm going to get raped, may as well lie back and enjoy it" approach has to end. Crist's "opposing" the stimulus, while looking forward to spending the money to buy more votes, is a great example.
“Extremely disappointed” is all he can muster for his “good friend across the aisle” and “worthy opponent”? Compar that statement to what he has said against Conservatives.
EVERY Republican in Congress should be screaming and hollering in the halls of Congress and on the floor for the head of the a$$hole who made the decision to try the terrorists in a civilian court.
