"Enemy Combatants"???
by N.R. Filidei (9/17/06 - commentary)

Many average Americans or: "John (Jane also) Q Public" must currently be shaking their heads in disbelief when TV watching supposed grownup political leaders, politicians, judges, journalists, scholars and/or notable: "Talking Heads" in general,...perpetually discussing and debating what The PROPER & CORRECT method of handling captured terrorists should be?

Either plain coddled or greatly coddled by The American Justice System seem the preferred choices. The U.S. Military and those actually capturing such inhuman sickos are certainly not preferred as their jailers,...and forget about anything even coming close to WHAT TRULY WARRANTED and/or a firing squad or summary execution. Naturally, only after being intensively interrogated for QUITE VALUABLE and/or American Life Saving Intel.

Amazingly, and even with all the schooling, knowledge, letters and distinctions no doubt accumulated and under their belts,...so many actually come-across publicly as not all that very bright and truly QUITE sophomoric and/or kindergartner-like.

Such becomes quite obvious when concertedly refusing to acknowledge (for whatever cockamamie peer or political reasons) that THERE ACTUALLY IS NO DIFFERENCE between a captured and uniformed enemy combatants, and captured murderous civilian infiltrators whom historically have been referred to as either: "Foreign Assassins", "Saboteurs" or "Spies",...and that such should be treated accordingly.

WOW!!!,...talk about the myopic or those wearing blinders and/or that which only idiots could honestly believe that captured mass-murderers/assassins of: "Defenseless men, women and children (babies also) Infidels worldwide" MUST ABSURDLY BE CONSIDERED merely Enemy Combatants and given all protections prescribed under The Geneva Convention.

Damn,...apparently honorable warriors or gladiators are no different from AVOWED Infidel mass-murdering muslim scum, to many some such strangely Intellectual Americans?

Hey, maybe all such fools alluded to should have majored in Poetry or Cartooning,...instead of Political Science and/or how to despicably connive and confuse issues for ones (clique's also) benefit over another (their clique also). And besides, don't many people quite differently love poetry & cartoons? Plus, most people I know despise politics and/or a basically Great Wasting of America's Time & Resources , anyway.

Whatever, and whether Poet, Cartoonist or just typically self-engrossed and self/clique-aggrandizing or Politically Blinded Nut,...insisting that the lowest of lowest murdering scum on earth and/or captured Fanatical Islamic Terrorists be accorded The Geneva Convention is more than just utter NONSENSE. Such is quite an asininely Nationally-Suicidal NONSENSE also.

Hopefully,...MUCH WISER HEADS will prevail.
If not, and instead such typical terrorism protecting and encouraging and terrorist helpful NONSENSE and/or wartime under-minings keep on going unabated,...We'uns or America & Free World Nations are all in deeper do-do than could ever possibly be imagined. Islam & Logic both dictate that such be so.

Never been to one. Still, I'll give anyone Big Odds that the above: "Islam & Logic" type dictates never taught in ANY Political Science Class. Perhaps such should be,...and especially for exceptionally nationally-suicidal (every which way possible) ACLU type INTELLECTUALS(?)? Sure couldn't hurt,...and especially for The American Citizenry and/or most likely: "Soft Targets of Opportunity for Despicable Terrorism".

Foreign Nationals (here legally or otherwise plus terrorists),...eh?
Tough Luck all you Many Bogus Visitors.

What is even more amazing to me is the rationale being used by McCain and other weaklings that have forced the President to modify his proposal to codify treatment of enemy combatants. Notice, I said enemy combatants, not prisoners of war. The Geneva Convention does not apply, nor should apply to enemy combatants. The excuse given by the weaklings is that if we "water down" Article 3 of the GC, then if our warriors are captured, that enemy will also use the watered down version. Our enemy doesn't take prisoners for long-term incarceration.

It seems like the weaklings and quislings are taking every opportunity to cause harm to our nation, such as opposition to the Patriot Act, opposition to the splendid work of the NSA, opposition to the financial surveillance operations, and any other action our governmetn in taking to keep us safe. I truly wonder what side these quislings are on.

[reconeil]

SO TRUE, SO TRUE,... and especially about
that: "Weaklings and quislings" having taken over or of greatest voice in America.

Truly hope that all rest of American Citizenry aren't duped by
by such absurd American Politics and so many absurd American
Political Zealots,...since such foolishnesses can't go on FOREVER!!!

Well,...at least if intending to survive as a sovereign & free nation, anyway?

I think if the world wants us to comply with the Geneva Convention we might as well comply 100% and begin executing all priisoners, captured OUT of Uniform and not recognized as fighting for a Country, as Spys! now wouldn't that be with in the regulations there are some other articles of the Geneva Convention that are useful also against Spys and insurgents.

[reconeil]

Good thinking. But, forget it.
Such type clear thinking and good old common sense
just no longer acceptable for so many of America's
political leaders and/or The U.S. Military's micro-managers
in every detail (tactics & targets inclusive), of last 50 or so
years of politically-correct (an oxymoron) warfares to date.

Also, and neither does The Geneva Convention cover
any captured American & Allied Soldiers any longer (if ever?).
Quite realistically, and if honest, The Geneva Convention
only protects avowed mass-murdering muslim insurgent scum
CAPTURED by American & Allied Soldiers. Such scum even gifted
The American Citizenry's Constitutional Rights. Damn!!!

The too, there's those stupidly asinine and/or unilateral
or one-sided: "Rules of Engagement" hindering The West
in its fight to the death for survival called: "War on Terrorism".
There too, such very ENEMY helpful, ENEMY encouraging and
QUITE ENEMY gratifying and satisfying, since no doubt treated
more importantly and fed better at: "Gitmo",...than at any
other time of their miserable and depraved muslim lives.

Hope West eventually wakes up, Jerry?
And besides, just can't keep waiting around for other shoe to drop.
Such pretty-damn-stupid. Don't you think?

Once again, it's the liberals and quislings who fail to even recognize the logic path, much less tip-toe down it on any given occasion. Of all the signatory nations, with whom might we even think of having armed conflict? If we were to have a war with the Germans, again, since they are a signatory, they would be expected to abide by allthe provisions, just as we would. for those nations that are not signatories, if we wer to go to war with them, our adhernece to the Treaty wouldn't mean diddly squat to them - they would just execute POW's. Was North Vietnam a signatory nation? Did membership help or hinder the North Vietnamese torture of American POW's? No, they actually called them war criminals.

[Seascamp]

Once again, a case of breathing their own air without an air quality sampler. When the political left of this world stops making hideous war on their own people; unarmed residents tortured and butchered in droves, then maybe they have an opinion and place at the table. But the ?do as we say, not as we do? reality always gets in the way and what remains is disingenuous carping.
I?d be far more impressed if they put some pressure on their political nest mates like Cuba, North Korea and Vietnam to clean up their act. But I suppose when every act of brutality and butchery is prefaced with ?for the people? there is some axiomatic dispensation and anticipatory forgiveness issued out of Massachusetts and Hollywood.

One thing I have never heard the Liberals mention to the gullable public. THE UNITED STATES IS NOT A SIGNATORY TO THE GENEVA CONVENTION. The Geneva convention sets standards for the treatment of Enemy Prisoners of War. These are folks who wear a recognized uniform and are members of an opposing Armed Force. The Geneva convention makes NO PROVISIONS for Enemy Combatants who do not wear a recognized Uniform and who are not members of a recognized Military Orginazation ie: somebody's Army. According to the convention, these folks can be treated as "Spies" and shot out of hand. Why doesn't the Media publish those parts of the Geneva Convention that deal with this? They don't want the World Public to know what is in the Convention!
How many here have read the Conventions? Most folks won't bother to read them for themselves and just accept as "Gospel" what the Media feeds them.

[reconeil]

"Why doesn't the Media publish those parts.............." is most
certainly a reasonable enough question for ANY sensible and
NOT easily duped by politics American...to ask.

Unfortunately, and since such type questions might offend
many foreign nationals (The Despicably Mass-Murdering Terrorist
Breed inclusive) and thus are just not politically-correct and/or
deemed overall UNacceptable questions,...there lies the rub.

Guess that until the largely Democrat Media and/or those usually
validating everything leftist or pro-foreigner (terrorists inclusive)
and instead anti-most everything regarding America's Safety,
Security & Sovereignty come to their collective senses
(HOPEFULLY SOON),...looks like a truly long road to hoe ahead
and some pretty-damn tough sledding ahead to-boot?
And, that's only If America Remains Historically Lucky?
