The troops are on their way. Isn't that great! What kind of plan will they have to succeed? What about that exit strategy?
We finally got those troops over to Afghanistan, but is that a safe, or defensible position? Are we risking their lives just to look good in the eyes of the world? It is time to assess whether President Obama is serious about victory in Afghanistan. If we are just over there to keep the Taliban out of Afghanistan, we're in for a long and difficult struggle. Our goal will have to be that of killing any Taliban and Al Quaida fighter we can find, and not think about any consequences. The only way we will win the day against these two groups is to wipe them out completely. We will have to take out their sympathizers also. If we have to, we will have to destroy whole villages, while we are seeking out and destroying the terrorists, because that is the only way we will get the attention of the sympathizers. If they fear us more than the terrorists, they will be willing to fight against them. When we are at war, there is no room for worrying about whether we are upsetting the local population. War is war, not a PC event.
The reason we are at war is the same reason KSM and his cohorts are supposed to be at Gitmo, standing trial in a military court. They are responsible for the death of over 2000 American citizens. They performed an act of war against the American people. Their trial in New York is a travesty of justice, and an act of treason on the part of Attorney General Holder, and possibly President Obama.
Treason, in this case consists of giving aid to the enemy, via the courtroom by allowing them to recruit and incite their compatriots to commit heinous crimes against America. These terrorists will be able to spew their hatrad and incite terrorists to attack our nation again. It is the responsibility of our President and our Attorney General to protect the United States, not to allow terrorists to sieze the opportunity to destroy it. These terrorists are to be barred from any civil court because they are enemies of the state, and they are not citizens of this nation. They have no rights or privileges under the constitution, nor do they have the right to an attorney. They are enemies of the state, therefore giving them rights they do not deserve is also an unconstitutional act. Those who have worked their way into being the lawyers for these terrorists are also acting contrary to the constitution. It can be, according to common sense, that those lawyers are committing treason because of the way they positioned themselves to become the terrists lawyers. Giving comfort and aid to enemies of the state can be construed as treason in and of itself.
Which is worse?, sending our troops into harms way, knowing that they will not be able to fight the war it will take to win? Or is it worse to give rights to enemies of the state, giving them comfort and aid, which in and of itself is, by definition, treason. Giving them a forum from which they can incite other terrorists to attack America, and to recruit terrorists, creates a atmosphere of a rally for evil, rather than a setting in which the trial is about the crimes for which they were imprisoned. Attorney General Holder, and possibly President Obama have much explaining to do if we are attacked because this trial turns into a pep rally for terrorists. There will not be a hole deep enough for them to hide in.
