Changing His Mind

Obama strongly criticized George Bush for considering Islamic terrorist “prisoners of war” without a country indefinitely. He wanted to treat them as CRIMINALS and prosecute them within the American Justice System. One problem with that. To do so he must bring them into this country and give them rights to which they are not entitled. They should have been shot on the battlefield, as we DID do to ununiformed “spies” under the “rules of war” in previous wars. They are NOT prisoners because they are “criminals.” They are being held (as we do prisoners of war) to keep them off the battlefield so they don’t swell the ranks of terrorists. They should be kept prisoner until there is no longer an Islamic terrorist threat (if that ever happens). Obama is FINALLY beginning to realize this—something Bush has known all along. Maybe Bush is not the stupid fella the Democrats have painted him. Obama is finding it’s easier to promise such things as a candidate—but not as president. (Taragana)
