Well, now we know why Obama doesn't use the term "war on terror" anymore - he doesn't consider terrorism an act of war. Instead, he has taken us back to the days of Bill Clinton, when terrorist acts were treated like a "crime."
In a story reported in The Weekly Standard , Representative Mike Rogers (R-Mich) is accusing the Obama administration of ordering the F.B.I. to read Miranda rights to detainees being held at U.S. military facilities in Afghanistan.
This is creating a great deal of damage on the battlefield, not to mention how it is affecting the security of our military men and women overseas. Said Rogers:
I witnessed it myself, talked to the people on the ground. What you have is two very separate missions colliding in the field in a combat zone. Again, anytime that you offer confusion in that environment that's already chaotic and confusing enough, you jeopardize a soldier's life.
Why would Obama issue such an order? It's all a part of a policy shift referred to as the new "global justice initiative," which was described in a May 28th Los Angeles Times article:

That is how Obama thinks...
I can’t view it any other way.
RADICAL WEIRDO that he is.
Wrong. The down side would be the resulting ascension to the presidency of one Joe Biden, and until he selected and the senate confirmed a replacement VP, we would be one heartbeat away from the nightmare of President Nancy Pelosi.
1st in line in the order of succession: Joe Biden (the stupidest individual to EVER be elected as Senator or VP)
2nd in line in the order of succession: Nancy Pelosi (no further comment needed other than "Palomino!")
Good post! We should keep reposting stories every few months until the dummies in the MSM catch on. These are good too:

“Miranda rights for terrorists: Next, toothbrushes and teddy bears!”
“Is there a FR thread on this? I did not see it in a search.”
Is this it?

So many people don’t have a clue about 4 month old news.
Great media. They research Michelle’s ugly waist belts and fashion.
Wonder what is up with the Examiner story. It still says it will be up in 5 minutes.
“Sir, we tried to read those terrorists their Miranda rights, but they must have misunderstood what we were saying and they all just up and jumped on our gun barrels. Wasn’t our fault they all went off.”
Yeah it’s just like the politically correct stress cards our military has been forced to use in boot camp.On the inside I hear, that those booters that TRY to use them ‘to take a nap in the bunks’ because they are so stressed; don’t have an easy time at boot camp. So political correctness is in our military but there is only so much of it they can take.
P.s. I forgot this in the last post.
Instead of people jumping up and down with joy that Fox News got a long legged macked daddy interview. WHY IS NOT ONE SOUL CALLING FOR IMPEACHMENT OF OBAMA? FORT HOOD HAS BEEN SILENCED.
Sorry for the time in replying.
I could not agree with you more. Unfortunately, I believe that it will take a large scale act of terror, on par with or greater than 9/11, to get these cowards to understand that we ARE at war.
I just finished reading a book called “Extreme Measures” by Vince Flynn last evening and I was amazed and frightened. Amazed because this book was written over a year ago and is nearly prescient with today’s events. Frightened because it looks like a lot more Americans will have to die before we admit there is a problem with radical Islam.
In my mind, we should always extend Geneva to those who reciprocate, but for those who do not, we should drop the hammer without giving it a second thought.
Stay safe.
"Stress cards"? Unreal...
The radical left knows no bounds when it comes to their ridiculous social engineering schemes. It never occurs to them that the military is a militant warrior organization, where the basic ethos and operating climate are necessarily tough.
These people just sicken me no end. Never do they stop for two seconds and ask themselves if there's an existing solution to a problem that has worked well in the past.
No, their standard operating procedure is to always come up with some brand new cockamamie, harebrained solution which is untested and unproven, ignoring, or even intentionally throwing aside all prior human knowledge and experience on a given subject in favor of their radical, feel-good crap.
My dad is a 27 year, retired veteran of the US Army. He'd have a few choice words for someone if I told him about these "stress cards". I'm sure it would flip his noodle.
I did a search just now because it has been many years since I have been affliated with the military. Snopes dot com; words it slightly diferently and claims this is false
http://www.snopes.com/military/stress.asp
I know first-hand this to be true in the Clinton years. Don’t know the exact date it started.
I verified first hand recently in the Atl. airport speaking to an Army booter going home to see mom and dad before going to war overseas. I asked him point blank if the stress cards were still being used. (BTW it is a card you press your thumb [finger] on and if it turns a certain color it indicates supposedly that you are stressed) So you can then go to your bunk for a 10-15 minute nap or some such.
This young Army booter said one guy tried to pull it and well let’s put it this way you are labeled a wuusy if you do. I also asked him about the current ROE the current CIC put out. The rules exist and let’s just say they are instructed in other normal Army ways.
Back to Snopes all’s I can say is they need to check their facts and re-word it. Because I give you my word it is true.
Is this book in paperback? Thanks for your post.
It is; it’s actually one of a series of books whose lead character is a black ops guy named Mitch Rapp. He’s a CIA operative and over time evolves into one the key people at the Counterterrorism Center. Politicians hate him because he’s a cowboy and is VERY independent. Most of us love him because he does what’s right, not what’s politically correct or what’s politically expedient. Forgive the language, but I’m quoting directly: “What Mitch does is hunt the bastards down and kill them.” I don’t know how senstive you are to language, but the books can get pretty colorful, if you take my meaning. It’s still about what I’d expect from military and CIA types, though.
It’s a great series and all but the most recent book, “Pursuit of Honor” are available in paperback. I found most at my public library.
Flynn has an unbelievably keen eye for the behaviors we all detest in Washington and it comes through in his writing. Hope you enjoy the series.
