The Mukasey nomination in jeopardy: Why appeasing Democrats gets you nowhere;

Right! So why get someone who might be “middle of the road” and deal with this crud? Her Mr. President, get someone real conservative and show the people – once again – how the dimocraps are not willing to work with the you. It should get their numbers in the sub-ten range and the Presidents back over forty.

Da Bears.

Soooo, excited. I hope DA BEARZ win!!!

The feebalator threw the first dart subtle but cause for action.

For some inexplicable reason, our elected officials decided to unilaterally expand the Geneva Conventions, and to parties that are not even signatories, no less.

As they stand, the Geneva Conventions protect soldiers of a country when fighting in the uniform of that country. Those engaged in armed conflict who are not part of a particular nation’s armed forces are not covered. Those engaged in armed conflict who are not wearing the designated uniform of that country are not covered.

The “detainees” or prisoners we are pulling out of combat are neither fighting for a country nor in any uniform of a country. In short, they can be treated as spies and saboteurs, which have no rights under the Conventions. They can be summarily executed, or subjected to any available interrogation techniques.

As to what the rest of the world thinks, why should we care? The rest of the world is not the prime target in a global war. And as to the argument that we need to use caution due to the potential abuses our servicemen may be subjected to, that way of thinking borders on insane. Look at what our military and civilians are subject to now. The torture and mutilation of those soldiers captured during raids, decapitations and desecration of their corpses. I am sure our personnel would have been happy to have been boarded than sliced piece by piece while still alive.

While I do appreciate Senator McCain’s personal views on this, we are not talking about the type of torture (and it was torture) used on him.

I am all for humanely treating human beings. But these zealots we are facing bear not the remotest resemblance to anything human. Beheading others just because they are “infidels”. Blowing up civilians in the name of religion. Sitting down with a family to convince them to support your cause, and to emphasize the benefits, unveiling the special dish you have brought for the family – their cooked child on a plate.

We are facing an inhuman foe here. And in their culture and in their thoughts, every “humane” thing we do is viewed as a sign of weakness. Which only further emboldens them to engage in more heinous tactics.

Congress had the opportunity to declare techniques like water boarding as off limits. They refused to do so. And rightly so. Now, they are looking to offload their cowardice on someone who is only there to interpret the law, not make it. If they really cared about what the rest of the world thought, they should be red with embarrassment; because they look like the biggest bunch of cowardly, hypocritical fools to ever walk the earth.

Sheesh.
