So I was watching the Clinton News Network this morning and saw a small
piece on the Al Qaida and Taliban prisoners in Cuba and am appalled at the
bleeding heart greenies whining that these people aren't getting the proper
humane treatment.
What kind of crap is this? Did these numbskulls already forget the prisoner
uprising in Mazar-e Sharif that led to the death of a CIA case officer? Did
they forget these are the same terrorists that crash airplanes into
skyscrapers, killing thousands of innocent people? Do they understand that
the Taliban prisoners fought alongside the Al Qaida in Afghanistan against
US forces and for the five years of Taliban rule not only tolerated the
existence of Al Qaida in their country, but actively supported the network?
I think it's absurd to be concerned about these prisoner's rights to
comfort. First and foremost we have to ensure these monsters don't escape.
Secondly, the troops have a right to protect themselves from a repeat of
Mazar-e Sharif. Do these whining idiots want to see US Marines killed by
another uprising? Third, and last, is to make sure they receive the basic
human rights.
In regards to human rights, they have nothing to complain of. They have
three meals a day, they are allowed to go to the bathroom, they are allowed
to pray. That's three times more than our US military would receive if any
of us were captured in Afghanistan, I can guarantee you that. They aren't
being beaten or tortured either, which would have happened to us, and anyone
that believes otherwise is crazy.
Is it inhuman to cover their mouths so they can't talk to each other? You
say it is, and yet, that is how they would plan their revolt. You say it's
inhuman to blindfold and shackle them when they are taken out of their
cages. How about this way they have no way to surprise on of the guards
taking them to the latrine. Do these bleeding heart liberals understand that
these people are extremely dangerous, and it is EASILY within the realm of
possibility that at least some of them are trained to know how to escape
from a guard or steal his firearm as long as he's not in shackles and
blindfolded?
Further, it is not as if these will be their home for the rest of their
life. This is a temporary facility, and if they are further incarcerated,
they will no doubt be kept in a maximum security prison with little chance
for escape or harm to any guards.
Lastly, at least they are getting medical care. And even the worst care we
can give is better than the best they get in Afghanistan.
They have nothing to complain about. So, my message to the bleeding heart
liberals that think this is not fair is this: Keep whining and complaining,
but you are making clear which side your bread is buttered on-you obviously
are in favor of their comfort over the life of a US Marine.
By bleeding heart liberal, I am not referring to all left-wingers or people that claim to be of the liberal persuasion, but rather the far left. I think the majority of people have their heads screwed on right in this regards. Or so I hope...
