Well, Hussein found a way to give you the finger, no matter what camp you belonged to. But we turned out to be right, those of us that said we needed to get rid of the insurgents or else somebody was going to release them or take hostages to release them. Israel should already be a prime example of why you don’t want too many prisoners of the enemy action, living around.

Quite right. We shouldn’t be making deals with terrorists in the first place. But if you’re going to bargain with them, try to do it right. They ask for five, you offer one. Stand firm and they will offer four, at which time you offer two and say, that’s your last offer – and mean it. In the ME every transaction is done on that basis. Haggling is the norm and being a tough bargainer is expected. The Taliban dealership accepted five trade ins in great shape in return for one unit in questionable condition. Yep, smartest administration – ever!

I saw a doctor who worked at GITMO interviewed on Judge Jeanine’s show last night. He describes these killers as far more radicalized and dangerous than when they were taken prisoner. They have been kept in good health, provided an opportunity to stay in good physical shape, and are fit for the duty. He also described them as men who have lived only to kill their enemies. Men without souls who are extremely dangerous. Quite a picture.

When you realize that all the GITMO prisoners are illegal combatants (no uniform, no allegiance to a sovereign nation, attacks primarily civilian targets) who could be legally shot after a short court martial, are still waiting for a trial because the leftists lawyers have trumped up every kind of legal excuse for not doing so, the mind boggles. The enemy has declared war, we have declared lawfare. (Warfare that is hindered by legal niceties at every turn.)

This whole Bergdahl fiasco they’ve decided to run with has it’s own hashtag.

Just saying, in addition to everything else that’s wrong with the deal we could have gotten more for our trade-in, too.

And they’re not just calling their critics hypocrites anymore. Now they’re calling people psychopaths.

I am amazed at the stupid things people have to say to defend the Obama administration. Especially by the Obama administration.

Susan Rice says Bergdahl served with honor and distinction, and she and others are doubling down by claiming they were talking about the fact Bergdahl enlisted. Apparently just signing the contract and putting on the uniform counts as serving with honor and distinction.

So when are we going to be emptying out Leavenworth and our other military stockades and naval brigs, as opposed to emptying out GITMO? Everybody in those lock-ups signed a contract and wore a uniform. That’s the only way you can get into those prisons.

Bradley Manning signed the contract and wore the uniform. He even deployed. Did he serve with honor and distinction?

This is the weird place we’re in. They’re saying a deserter served with honor and distinction, and they’re calling the soldiers who didn’t desert but risked their lives (some killed) looking for him psychopaths and “swift boaters.”

They think telling the truth is a crime. Politicians and their flunkys are allowed to say stupid things, I suppose, but these politicians and flunkys are speaking for the Commander in Chief.

This bodes well for morale and retention.

Thanks! Will fix.

And those replies are different from canned mass messages in what way? They were hand written?

I didn’t request a reply to the above missive. All three Congress Critters have replied. That’s really unusual. Both because I got a reply and this quickly. It shows that this is a veeery sensitive issue.

They will think everyone is sleep walking as usual, if they don’t hear from you. Try it, you’ll like it. The more you do, the more you’ll want to do. You may think it’s not doing any good, but they have their fingers in the air trying to find out which way the wind’s blowing. They may not agree with you – mine sure as heck don’t, but they need to know that everyone is not on board with their programs and ideas.
