    It's a ing war, not an MIP or DWI we're talking about.

    They are bandits and criminals, you said it yourself: they aren't soldiers.

    I ask the question again:

    If our case is so good, and it is such a slam dunk, why not give them trials?

    The lack of trials is simply putting our soldiers lives at risk by giving the enemy more fodder for propaganda.

    I guess you are on the side of the terrorists. Since you want to give them one weapon, why not just hand out C4 and Ak-47s, and join them?

    ^^How bout before even responding to anyone by calling them a fascist pig, start by qouting the law to call them such. In reality you can't post anything back because you are not sure of your own position.

    Because this isn't law enforcement, that's why.

    We're doing what we're doing to

    1. prevent them from killing our troops
    2. prevent another 9/11

    , this isn't about a prison sentence, it's from preventing another 3000 Americans (or more) losing their lives.

    Does that register at all for you, or are you still wanting to round up a jury to try these ers?

    Ok ok, that bit is a bit over the top, but similar sentiments get leveled against me, so pardon my losing my temper a bit at times.

    I understand the concept of saving lives. I happen to think that trials will save more lives in the long run than simply locking them up and throwing away the key.

    I base this on our steadily eroding support for our "war" on terror throughout the globe.

    The longer we keep these ers without trials the more sympathetic people become to our enemies. We can't afford that.

    You should use cons utional law if you're calling someone a fascist. Sorry if you're the only one laughing, but you're becoming a pain in the ass. For all of your credentials, you still can't quantify your own on the tax cut thread. You're just a warehouse of DNC bumperstickers. You don't even use your own knowledge to formulate your ideas. Your a waste of a good education.

    We're not here to win a political victory with people who are complacent with terrorism(The world). We're here to fight the battle and war effectively.

    You dont act on ignorance to the ignorant.

    (shrugs)

    I quatified it over and over. I just got tired of doing so.

    Honestly, and I mean this without a bit of meanness, you just dont' have much in the way of reading comprehension. I give up, you win.

    If I can't get you to even comprehend 1/4 of what I am trying to get across, and it becomes obvious that you either won't or can't understand it, why should I try?

    ^IF you truly quantified it, no one would have been questioning your thesis.But that wasn't so. All you quantified was the size of our debt. Not that it the taxes was dragging the economy . That was your theory.

    The football huddle originated at Gallaudet University (the world's only accredited four-year liberal arts college for the deaf) in the 19th century when the football team found that opposing teams were reading their signed messages and intercepting plays.

    The Repug response is not that the secret torture prisons in foreign countries are a horror, but that somebody leaked it.

    This political forum is embarrassing. I am all for the use of profanity and the ability to express one's self as desired, but name calling...pffft...whatever.

    I take issue with only one thing said. I tend to only respond to posts/sentences/issues that do not include prefixed comments like "dim-witted", "idiotic", etc. Respect for your fellow man, I guess.

    This is a forum of opinion. Respect someone else's for Pete's sake. You can disagree. Heck, I disagree with most of you. But I wont stoop to name calling. I can already hear the echoes of "Well, he started it..."

    Regardless,

    Really, when have we ever done what you're suggesting? If anything, you should be applauding this administration for not interring all Arabs as Roosevelt did with the Japanese.
    I would assume you wrote this unmindful of the conotation attached to a statement like that. If not, then I guess we should also 'thank' all the previous administrations for not starting a nuclear holocaust when they were at war. Hooray!

    Yes, the conversations in here can at times become rather sophmoric, but if we totally ban the use of profanity we would be limiting the freedom of self-expression. People post some embarrassing things, I am not excluded, and when we do, we deserve to be called on it, and that's one of the great parts about not over moderating this board.

    Post something stupid - get called on it.

    (There is a gentlemen's agreement to respect other people opinions and not stalk anyone, or all over their posts, but that's about it, except for the usual derogatory stuff)

    No, no, no...I didnt mean it like that. Re-reading my post, I can most certainly see where you could get that.

    I am all for profanity. But some people fail to realize their point is lost by most when the first sentence contains 8 words, 3 of which use no more than 4 letters.

    Thats all I meant. yeah!

    hehehe

    What? You wouldn't take a 60+ year old man seriously who told you to "ram up your over-worked, ripped anus" ... and similar brilliant gems?

    I have to say, though, a lot of the things he comes up with are pretty original and creative.

    Do you understand anything about what's going on?

    A core tenet of the fundamental Islam that these ers follow is that anyone who is not a Muslim should be killed.

    I.E., all of us here in America.

    Seriously, their warped ass interpretation of the Qur'an says to kill us all. What more propaganda can we give them? They're largely illiterate and have some goon ass like Osama telling them that the Qur'an says kill all the Jews and Christians.

    Sorry, but I just don't see us torturning these pieces of somehow giving them "propaganda" to somehow find some motivation to kill us.
