Doug, given your tagline, I have to throw in my tagline from mid-2008 into 2009:

“Obama: Carter’s only chance to avoid going down in history as the worst U.S. president ever.”

I hate being proven right, but there it is.

0bama will likely pardon this creep on his way out in 2012.

Or sooner if he's being pushed out. After all a moslem is not supposed to fight against another moslem.

If you assume obama is a moslem then ALL his foreign policies makes perfect sense.

This crap makes me steam.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IDIOT LIBERALS DECIDE THAT WE MUST EXTEND THE RIGHTS OF US CITIZENS TO FOREIGN NATIONALS, AND FORCE US TO FORMALLY APPLY GENEVA CONVENTION RIGHTS TO THOSE TO WHOM IT DOES NOT APPLY.

How liberals handle this type of thing makes the Bush Administration analysis, preparation and execution of terrorism look like the work of genius, which in comparison, it is.

I give them credit-they at least did a thorough and sober analysis of law (international and domestic) and precedent. If it hadn’t been for damned liberals, these cases would have all been tried in military courts and dispensed of years ago.

LIBERALISM IS THE GREATEST THREAT TO THIS COUNTRY, BAR NONE.

God help the families of these slain Americans to deal with this Godless regime whose wish is to free those responsible.

The worst president ever, the worst AG...ever....

I’m so sick of this presidency I can’t stand it. Each day there’s something that we hear about.

Two more years of this guy....?

No wonder he plays golf...54 times thus far. He is so clueless and impotent....Nothing gets done in this presidency unless it’s through closed door dealings.

You will pay for this on the 2nd my friend. This presidency is for all purposes over....

Let me suggest that you just stay on the golf course little man. We don’t need you. You’re bad news.

This case illustrates one of the fatal flaws in any "legal" process that involves foreign nationals captured on foreign soil by U.S. military personnel and/or intelligence agents. The U.S. legal system simply isn't equipped -- from a jurisdictional standpoint, a legal standpoint, etc. -- to deal with this kind of prosecution.

And I hate to come to the defense of the Obama administration on this, but this bullsh!t all started under the previous administration.

Dirty Little secret that many of us already know:

Obama along with most of the left, silently believe the USS Cole was DESERVING of a terrorist attack because of the left’s insane worldwide view of US Imperialism.

The folks running the White House sympathies lie with third world BARBARIANS rather the the good US Military who protect shipping, aid in natural disasters or provide security for overseas allies.

Obama seemingly only goes to bat for terrorists.
He is anti-military, anti-everything but his bizarre unamerican agenda.

To be fair, it was the courts who intruded on the Bush Administration’s dealing with many cases. The USS Cole case may be different though, if it was begun before 9/11, when Bush realized everything had changed.

Families said the new president promised swift action yet pleaded for their patience

Key word: PROMISED.

“At the time, we felt the president was being real positive about it,” John Clodfelter

Sadly, now Mr Clodfelter has realized he was just a prop for an Obama photo-op, and the President really doesn't care about those who died on the Cole.

“Sadly, now Mr Clodfelter has realized he was just a prop for an Obama photo-op, and the President really doesn’t care about those who died on the Cole.”

Reminds me of the families of the Lockerbie victims who were left high and dry as well.

I think that’s why Bush wanted them tried in a military tribunal and why the obama admin is now figuring out it has no choice but to try them in a military tribunal. Is it not?
