Ahh, the Friday Fisk has been presented to me. Yay!
The left's premise for much of what occurred during the Bush years is this: Bush is a bad and/or stupid man who, when given a clear choice between doing the right thing or not, made the wrong choice.
Nope. He wasn’t given a choice. He had already made up his mind and had an agenda. He was “the decider” and was not entertaining any options. Virtually everything he did was preplanned, imo.
They must DO something with the really bad guys at Gitmo whose countries don't want them back. Do you think these Senators want them in their neighborhood?
Name one. By all reliable accounts, 90% of these kids are nobodies. They were rounded up like cattle and brought in for no reason. There is no real evidence against them. Most of them will not be tried in any court of law. They are not “really bad guys.” They are no worse than a gang of American teenagers throwing a Molotov cocktail at Russian soldiers occupying their neighborhood. If our country was invaded and occupied by Russia and our children started fighting back with guns and bombs and booby traps and were rounded up and sent to secret detention camps or a Gulag without a trial, would you support their incarceration? Would you support torturing them?
They must DO something about how to get information out of men and women who are willing to blow up innocent children and themselves to further their ideology.Blah blah blah. I, for one, am willing to pay the price of freedom by taking my chances with our existing intelligence operation that is the most expensive and sophisticated in the world having a pretty good idea of what’s going on without having to wiretap ME and MY FRIENDS without a warrant.
And as far as your Chicken Little nonsense about bio-nuke-chemical WMDs, show me one single piece of evidence that a Terr-ist group has this capability now or in the near future? (((yawn))) This is soooooo tedious.
