Will Mike Huckabee wear orange, too?

So, the ACLU is busy mobilizing sympathy for Guantanamo Bay detainees. They’ve declared tomorrow–the sixth anniversary of the arrival of Gitmo detainees–a “Wear Orange” day in their continued bid to shut down the enemy combatant facility and show solidarity with suspected terrorists:

JANUARY 11, 2008, is the six-year anniversary of the first arrival of prisoners at Guantánamo Bay.

On January 11, we are calling on everyone opposed to torture and indefinite detention to WEAR ORANGE to symbolize their sadness and disgust with the national shame that is Guantánamo Bay.

Look for waterboard wannabes to stage mock torture theater around the country and the Arab government-funded anti-Gitmo legal machine to crank up the noise.

Here’s a reminder from a recent report by the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point of the threats the Gitmo detainees pose:

ctcgraph.jpg

Based on 291 unclassified summaries of detainee records that contained evidence that the detainee directly participated in or supported hostile acts, the researchers found:

• 56 individuals admitted to fighting the U.S. or Coalition forces
• 104 individuals were found to have manned the front lines
• 9 individuals were found to have participated in a bombing operation, improvised explosives device (IED) attack or other explosives-involved operation
• 98 individuals were found to have directly participated in, or supported the planning or plotting of, a combat operation.
• 3 individuals were found to have purchased weapons for the furtherance of committing hostile acts.
• 21 individuals were found to have engaged in ‘other’ hostile activities.

As I pointed out last summer, the Bush administration unwisely presided over a mass release of Saudi Gitmos detainees that non-moonbat Democrats should have lambasted. But they’re all too busy lobbying to release the entire Gitmo population faster.

Will any Dems wear orange tomorrow?

How about Mike Huckabee, who shares the ACLU’s position (and al Qaeda’s, for that matter) on shutting down the facility because of its “symbolism?”

This would be another good issue to raise at tonight’s GOP debate in South Carolina.

    OK. Step 1 is in place. Step 2 has the NRA sending out press releases announcing January 11 as Hunter’s Rights Day and asking everyone who supports the Second Amendment to dress in hunter’s orange.

    Green? GREEN?

    I would think that Red, White and Blue would be more appropriate, and would convey an intentional counter-message.

    I have lots of green clothing, but I don’t usually wear my RW&B shirt everyday.

    Alternative – an American flag T-Shirt, or a T-Shirt with a “Support the troops” message.

    The ACLU is a cancer that has spread in this country to the point we are terminally ill. It is the weapon of choice for homosexuals, socialists, atheists, and many other groups that demand the American people to bend to their will. When everyone has finally handed over their rights as citizens of this country in order to ensure the newly create special rights of the minority, then the ACLU will have completed it’s only goal.

    fox will make sure that Huckster does not get any questions that will require more than a bumper sicker response. they have been the Huckster pushers since late November.

    when the hucksters poll numbers started to rise, they had him on every 15 minutes live or recorded. did they do the same when Romney’s polls rose, heck no. it was guiliani, guiliani and thompson. in that order. if i had the ability to go back and check, i would.

    no, they like the huckster (cause he is liberal). heard fred talking up mccain last night, wanted to puke. Who has the majority of the delegates? what did they say, about the holder of the majority of the delegats? he can’t win this.. who do they think does? McCain or Huckster.. I turned off Brit Hume. Never have done that one before. and guess what Guiliani’s chances are now slim according to the ‘all stars’ .. say What? their dream candidate is not a shoe in?

    don’t expect anything but hard core towards romney to defend his what has been said, but not his actual record. expect huck the schmuck to never have his record mentioned and be allowed one laugh liners or bumper sticker moments. john mccain (but i am a pow)talk tough on war but not on his record.

    bets? this will be a ‘debate to finally get that morman out of the race’ not let’s get down to see who the real conservative is by their record.

    Leave Gitmo open for the duration of the war, IMHO. And, slowly take away one luxury after the other, so the damm place is not so attractive to the terrorists anymore.

    MIKE HUCKABEE: I’ve been to Guantanamo, I was there, I guess it’s been about a year and a half ago. I think the problem with Guantanamo is not in that its facilities are inadequate. It’s the symbol that it represents. It’s clearly become a symbol to the rest of the world as a place that has become problematic for us as a nation. I was quite frankly impressed with the quality of the facilities and even the attention to care that was given to the detainees, but that aside, it doesn’t alter that Guantanamo to the rest of the world is a symbol that is not in our best interests to continue pursuing.

    He ‘who must not become the next POTUS’ doesn’t cite any reasons for closing Gitmo, other than how the rest of the world views Gitmo. Well, why didn’t you just say so. Since two-bit dictators don’t like the fact that we have nuclear weapons, why don’t we just give ours to them. That way we’ll save face and they’ll be happy.

    The only reason Guantanamo has become a ‘symbol’ is because our politicians are weak. If America didn’t have a problem with it, the rest of the world wouldn’t have a problem with it.

    WE SHOULD NOT CARE WHAT THE WORLD THINKS. They are better off there than dead. If we close Guantanamo, my response would be our ROE should change to TAKE NO PRISONERS. No worry about waterboarding or torture or Guantanamo generating ‘ill will’ toward America, just dead would be prisoners.

    Would that be better ACLU and Huck?

    Huckabee is never boxed in on his record. The liberal MSM loves him because they think any Dem can beat him, plus he’s a “twofer”. They get to beat him up for being a clown, and they get to beat him up for being a Christian (not the same thing) so they get twice the bang for their buck. Duncan Hunter – exclude him for sure – built a fence, crime went down, legal Hispanics love him, tough on terror, actual combat veteran, his son is a combat veteran, interested in other economic issues – oh, I guess none of that plays on TV. Excuse me I have to break into this broadcast, we have a chopper following Britney to see if she’s wearing underwear – Shep?….

    The problem with his statement, and yours, Sausage, is that the ‘image’ is manufactured by the far-left and the media.

    The facility operations are in line with civil rights and conditions exceed those given to US criminal prisoners.

    However, the anti-Gitmo forces have succeeded in portraying our detention of these dangerous people as ‘bad’.

    They wish to treat them as criminals, not as war-time enemies. That is not logical or beneficial.

    If these left-leaning advocates would apply the same ‘doesn’t make you look good’ logic to other countries – what do you think they would say about Iran, Palestine, Pakistan, and other Nations who do what’s best for themselves, the rest of the world be-damned?

    What I’ll say is this. Gitmo is a cancer, both in what it holds and in its effect on our dealings with the rest of the world. We need to do be more transparent on who we’re holding and why, and we need to make clear efforts to resolve the status of the detainees.

    It’s all well and good to say that “symbolism” doesn’t matter, but not caring at all what the rest of the world thinks is a rather myopic way to base foreign policy.

    Don’t be too hard on the Brits, as they have been stalwart allies in the war on terror, as well as many of the other conflicts in the last 2 centuries.

    I am reminded of a conversation that I had with a Captain, Royal Navy, back at the Naval War College, some 17 years ago. He pointed out that we Americans didn’t get into the First World War until the overtime period, nor did we enter the Second World War until the second half. I’m not saying I agreed with him, but you might want to check out the Battle of the Somme, in the summer of 1916, in which the Brits suffered about 57,400 casualties on the first day alone.

    When you lose the initiative, others take it. Had we immediately initiated military tribunals at Gitmo, and hung a few of the bad guys, we would not be subject to this idiocy of giving these terrorist barbarians the civil rights of Americans. Not only that, but we would probably have killed Osama by now because these folks, given a choice of life or death would almost certainly have caved to the pressure. It is one thing to take your own life at your own timing, and it is quite another to have it end ignominiously at the end of someone else’s rope. Saddam Hussein is a perfect example as he cried before he was hung.

    The Air Force already does except for when they are in dress uniform. There are quickly changing over to the new Army style camouflage pattern, which is really screwing with my Air Force trained mind. I will continue to wear red on Friday as I always do to show my support for our troops.

    The real question, how are you going to our broken education system?

    BTW: We wear blue on Fridays to show support for the troops. Not sure where the other colors come in?

    Sorry, I put my silly campaign post, (58) in the wrong thread……I blame that on being old.

    But if you read it, it is funny.

    I’d move it, but I don’t think that’s possible.

    As a side note – it’s playoff’s week – do me a favor, if you wear green – make it this shirt.

    I’d love to jrl. I’m pulling for the Packers to face my Patriots in the Super Bowl. I think it would be a great game with Farve trying to be guy that stops the Pats from going 19-0. (Not hoping he succeeds mind you.)

    We can only hope that the Left is so dumb as to loudly and publicly support the release of all the Gitmo prisoners. I hope Hillary makes it a plank in the Democratic platform. Then the families of the victims of Sep 11 can publicly ask the Democrats why they want to spring Mohamed al Khatani from Gitmo, who was turned back from entering the US while Mohammed Atta waited at the airport to pick him up to be the 20th skyjacker.

    Wearing Camouflage would make a bigger statement– I support the military AND Gitmo. Not a problem for me, that is my business suit.

    Of course we could really confuse them and wear orange camouflage.

    Maybe that could mean ” Yeah, go ahead and release them. I could use some target practice and I prefer to stalk my prey.”

    Hmmm, orange might be OK only if it is this orange – The Club G’itmo T-Shirt – Your Tropical Retreat from the Stress of Jihad (or pick another with your favorite Rush Gitmo slogan!)

    I have an idea-send all of the members of the ACLU to Gitmo.With the all-powerful Bush,Cheney,Rove administration,I’m sure there could be some charges drummed up.

    “Liberal Orange” cannot be a crayon. It can only be a water color because it runs. :)

    We cannot force those poor men from the safety and benefits of Gitmo- the free medical and dental care, the extremely careful way in which the guards avoid offending them, and especially the fact that so many who have been released have acciently found themselves on the wrong side of a firefight back in Iraq! Why, if we turn them out, they might also die by accidently stepping in front of an American bullet- can’t have that now, can we?

    Now, imagine if all of the prisoners at Gitmo were men like Eric Rudolph, Terry Nichols, or the late Timothy McVeigh. Oh, even better – a militant group responsible for the systematic bombing of abortion clinics and gay neighborhoods; think the ACLU would be drumming up sympathy for them as well?
