I am so glad this preening jackass wasn’t in charge during 9/11.
From THE ONE’s upcoming interview on 60 Minutes:
Obama fires back at former Vice President Dick Cheney’s charge that his plan to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay and end the torture of terrorism suspects has made the U.S. less safe:
“How many terrorists have actually been brought to justice under the philosophy that is being promoted by Vice President Cheney? It hasn’t made us safer. What it has been is a great advertisement for anti-American sentiment.”
Pressed by Kroft that some of the released prisoners have returned to terrorist groups, the president said, “There is no doubt that we have not done a particularly effective job in sorting through who are truly dangerous individuals … to make sure [they] are not a threat to us,” he says. But he called the Bush administration’s policy on detainees at Guantanamo -including long incarcerations with no trials – “unsustainable.”

Well first of all you schmuck, GITMO is used to detain enemy POWs and glean intelligence information on terrorist cells and activities. We do that to stop more terrorists dead (literally) in their tracks as well as prevent other attacks from happening. Much of that information has been scuccessful in preventing another attack on this country, as well as helping to save lives of troops on the ground.
Obama’s idea of “justice” is to treat them as ordinary defendants in the judicial system. That is wrong on so many levels. Not the least of which is that we are at war, the “defendants” in question are not American citizens, and they are not guaranteed rights under our Bill of Rights and Constitution.
This moron thinks releasing terrorists from GITMO will make us ‘safer’ than keeping them locked up.
And he also says Treasury Secretary tax cheat Tim Geithner is doing a bang-up job.
He’s gonna be such a fucking joy these next four years.
We’re screwed.

My life has been getting very busy lately. So far, I’ve managed to fit you in, but something has to give. You’re it.

dcjnor,
Such stupidity! Do you really expect anyone to think that capitulation is a (sneaky) way to get advantage over an invading enemy? You’re definitely bonkers, sweetpea.
You need better sources than the wikipedia morons.
And don’t think some Danes weren’t pissed:
Not all of them bought into your “peaceful resistance” bullshit.
Oh, and lookie here. Apparently the Danes have a little guilt over doing their bit for the Nazi regime:
Your whitewashing of WWII would make Joseph Goebbels proud.
The Greeks didn’t win a damned thing. The Romans adopted some of their culture by choice, not force. That’s obviously a concept that goes over your pointy head.
Like the atrocities committed by muslim “culture”.
You’re a piece of work.

Such ignorance! It is your version of Denmark during WWII that is revisionist
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_Denmark
Exactly, The Greeks managed to take over Rome’s empire culturally without using violence.

dcjnor,
Really? I said the Irish wanted independence from Britain. That had to do with the way they were treated by the British and the Loyalists. I already had that figured out, because some of my IRISH ancestors came to America during the turn of the last century.
It wasn’t simply about religion. I.E. “Catholics versus the Protestants”
Talk about ignorant.
The references show exactly how violent muslims are in the name of Islam. What’s the matter? You don’t think they’re actually commiting these atrocities? Take a good look at the perpetrators and the victims. These innocent casualties were targeted becasue of their ‘non-muslim, infidel’ status. Why else would a bunch of muslims bust into a church and slaughter Christians? Hint: they’re not there to attend a sermon about “non-violence”.
Let’s see if you can match my sources one on one, with examples of Christian/Jewish slaughter of muslims, in the name of their respective “gods”, especially right now in the 21st Century. Last I checked, we didn’t start this war. It was started by Mohammad’s faithful followers.
The Apostle Paul??? Uh, no. The consensus of Biblical scholars is Ecclesiastes was probably written by Solomon.
http://www.gotquestions.org/Book-of-Ecclesiastes.html
Your facts on that are about as reliable as the rest of your theories.
The Koran is chock full of ‘converting those of other lands and killing them’.
Shall I cite those references, as well?
All of the citations point to the worldwide deliberate murder of thousands of Christians (and others) by muslims in the name of Islam, from ancient history to the present. Whether during religious wars, by individuals, or modern day terrorist gangs and cells, the corpses are piling up. I’d say that’s quite a religious body count.
The study of Latin is not required to recognize the correlation between Greek and Roman cultures/gods. Nor is it required to understand that Greece was invaded by violent means. The Romans didn’t arrive to ask them if they minded being absorbed into the Roman Empire. If you consider the willing adaptation of Greek culture into Roman culture a “win”, that’s pretty far fetched.
Let me explain it so that even you can understand. The Greek culture was not forced on Rome.
There is a difference between adopting some of the characteristics of another culture, and having it force-fed.
Gee, if only other countries like Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, the Philippines, and Albania had just given up, they could have “won culturally (and non-violently)” against the Nazis, Imperialist Japanese, and Fascist Italians. The countries that suffered under the Soviets for 70+ years must have felt they made such a “cultural” difference on Moscow. Now, if we would just let the Islamofascists march right in and subject Western civilization to Sharia Law…..
You’re as dense as they come. Seriously gal, you’re losing it. Deny, deny, deny. That’s your refuge from all the reports of the “tiny, tiny” massacres by the people you think are just ‘misunderstood’.
Keep the laughs coming.

And No, Ireland’s “Troubles” were over discrimination in jobs and housing and just about every other aspect of life, along with long memories regarding the abuses of English landlords on the Irish whose land had simply been stolen and handed over to English overlords. I could go on for quite a bit, since we spent our last holiday there with a dear friend we have had for some 20 years of so, but I’d be wasting education on someone determined to remain ignorant.
Your references are pitiful. It’s totally obvious that similar references could be produced regarding violence in the opposite directions of these. Most of the perpetrators on their side have the minimal excuse of ignorance regarding those of different religions. You lack that excuse.
You’re quoting one of Paul’s letters. He was quite a zealot, and it is from other verses of those letters that Christians got the idea that forceably converting those of other lands or killing them was OK.
I see you’ve still not managed to research of a comparison of religious body counts. You won’t either, becaue Christians didn’t count the bodies of those they decimated in the Americas and Africa.
No, I said that Romans “won” militarily, but actually Greece won culturally (and non-violently). Roman and Greek myth systems did not correlate until after the Romans “conquered” Greece as anyone who ever took Latin would know.

dcjnor,
Re-read my previous post. All of it. You’ll learn something.
Here’s another fact you ignored while revising history to suit your opinion:
After Denmark was invaded, they quickly surrendered and subsequently collaborated with the Nazis. They figured it best to capitulate because they couldn’t defeat the German invaders on their own, so they might as well not fight. This may have saved Danish lives, but it also allowed Germany to occupy the country with fewer troops then otherwise, thus freeing up troops for the assault on France. That’s in stark contrast to the heavy opposition to German invasion given by for instance, Norway. The Danes’ chickenshit policy aided and abetted the Germans. Like Vichy.
There was no resistance. They were Nazi tools. Smart? More like cowardly.
I’d dare say you wouldn’t get the first few words of “give peace a chance” out of your mouth before some Islamic jihadist brought a sword down on your neck.
Don’t expect the rest of us to follow suit.
Meanwhile, the body count of the ‘peaceful religion of Islam’ continues to rise.
