"Which part of "enemy combatant" do you not understand?" - Duke

"The part about where a DemocRAT Attorney General like Janet Reno can say - why you have a bunch of guns and ammo, make postings on an anti-government forum, hang out with a bunch of known right wingers - you look like a bona fida terrorist to me (armed, part of a group, anti-government views (as defined by the AJ)) - so I guess you're an enemy combatant." -dark_lord

That's totally irrelevent to the definition of an enemy combatant. The term is quite clear in it's meaning. So quit draging red herrings through this forum.

A President like HRC can make whatever claims she wishes and will not be deterred one iota by what we do here and now. So quit trying to scare the kids and old folks with ghost stories about what might be.

Got that?

Got that?

Sigh.
Look - the point I am trying to make is that if an "enemy combatant" is anyone aiding and abetting a "hostile entity" during a time of "war" which we are currently apparently in, if we are defining "hostile entity" as Al Qaeda, I am fine with it.
But. I don't think the government has been all that clear. And my point is, for that reason, this "war" will continue to exist until another administration takes power (it took 30 years to hunt down the da**ed Red Brigades in Europe). You want Hillary Clinton as Commander in Chief (it could happen) and able to define who is and who is not an "enemy combatant"?
Okay, maybe it's a ghost story. Maybe my concerns are completely groundless. Mea culpa.
