“One in five terror suspects released from the Guantanamo Bay prison has returned to the fight, according to a classified Pentagon report expected to stoke an already fierce debate over President Barack Obama’s plan to close the military prison.”
AP News Report
The mind boggles at this news. Would have our grandparents have tolerated a 1943 news report that came out saying that One in five unsuccessful Kamikaze pilots returned to the cockpit after the US Commander in Chief released them? Would the English have been content to have heard that One in Ten German pilots responsible for dropping ordinance on London during the Battle of Britain returned to their roles as bombardiers upon release by Winston Churchill? Would the Russian population been content to know that Stalin had released German tank Captains who had been captured in the Battle of Kursk — one in Twenty of whom returned to fight again on the Russian front?
What else can it be called but insanity to capture enemy combatants on the field of battle only to turn around and release them so that they can kill more Americans?
A country that does this is not serious about its war effort and does not care about its servicemen. If this report is true this is all we need to insist that the troops be brought back home. Why would we support a war effort when the Commander-in-chief is championing a policy that increases enemy troop numbers so as to better kill American service personnel?
This is insanity! As far as I’m concerned this is grounds for impeachment. Is this not a high crime and misdemeanor? Is this not treason against America?
I can’t believe there is not outrage across the country. There should be burning effigies in Capitals all across America at this news.
And if we can’t get this much, at least some Republicans ought to run some Willie Horton type adds against their Democratic opponents this fall. Instead of the face of Willie Horton the face of Mohammad Ahmed could be superimposed.
I’ll even provide the language that could be used in such an ad.
As the face of the candidate rises on the screen the voice over says,
“(Republican Candidates name) ________ supports not giving Muslim combatants a second chance to kill more sons and daughters of America than they did the first time when they were captured on the battlefield.”
Go to a screen showing a coffin draped with an American flag with a Islamic Crescent Moon and Scimitar in the background.
Slowly cue up the face of the Democratic opponent.
“(Democratic Candidates name) ___________ supports releasing Muslim combatants fully knowing that 20% of Muslim combatants will return to the battle field with the purpose of killing American son’s and daughters.”
Vote for the life of your Son and Daughter
Vote Republican
ummm…the kamikaze pilots would be unlikely to kill again…lol.
Otherwise, your post is good. Probably prescient, as well, regarding Republican campaigns.
Maybe I should say “unsuccessful Kamikaze pilots.”
That is a pretty funny error though. LOL
Sometimes my passion to make a point over-runs the reason required to make it.
