I'm not a blame America firster, nice label.
That's odd, because I don't see a whole lot of talk about what America has done good in the world from you...If I am wrong about that I apologize.
I know what good you stand for. But sometimes you have to aknowledge the wrong you've done as well.
I agree, and I also believe that America has acknowledged when they have done harmful things, and further gone to extraordinary lengths to right those wrongs.
No **** sherlock. It's whether those wars are nessecary such as hmm.... Iraq.
Without debating the entire Iraq war, do you believe that an Iraq with Saddam Hussein still in power would have been a positive thing in the world today?
That isn't what he's actually saying. Fact: You have killed more innocent muslims since 9/11 then got killed on 9/11. In fact you've lost more soldiers then people who died on 9/11.
Yep, so we have shed our blood for their freedom...Nice of us isn't it?
It is an evil thing. I'm sorry as painful as it is for you to think, those people in there deserve to have their cases heard by a judge and jury. If they are really terrorists, how hard could it be to prove your case?
No, I don't think it is. Gitmo is a state of the art facility, these prisoners get better treatment there than anywhere else in the world. I do agree that the tribunals need to go forward, and are overdue, but why do you suppose they haven't? I mean, Obama said he was all about closing this place, and yet he is doing no different than Bush did....Might that tell you that it is just slightly more complicated than what you think?
s it closed no. why is it not closed: Politics. I wish Obama would grow a pair and go for it anyway, but the Republicans would have a field day if he ever tried to shut it.
Shouldn't matter. Obama said he was a principled man, and he'd rather be considered a great one termer, than a run of the mill two termer....Yeah right. Another lie.
Praying for your defeat? I'm one of your allies, and if me saying trial by judge and jury and presumption of innocence is propoganda well then paint me Geobells.
Well, let me back up a little. Sorry for the inflammatory tact on this part, I actually agree that the tribunals need to proceed. Unfortunately today it is all too easy to pick a side that one thinks is popular and go with it, and that brings in a sheepish mentality to the debate. I say try them, then execute them.
