I wonder how Americans would feel if their soldiers were kept like the Al Qaeda POW's

[Alexander's Horse]

Have you seen that set up in Cuba? They are keeping the prisoners in what looks like dog kennels.

Imagine if American soldiers were held like that by Taliban. The U.S. media would be screaming. Just one photo of a blind folded and chained U.S. soldier would be enough.

This is really hurting U.S. credibility around the world. We know what is being fought against but one wonders what is being fought for! So much for the human rights of the POWS!

The U.S. btw, is now the only Western country that still claims these prisoners aren't POW's. The U.S. is looking ever more ridiculous claiming otherwise.

huh

I think amazing restraint is being shown. If it were me, I'd have 'em lined up and break out the m-16s.

[Alexander's Horse]

So what you're saying is you would like Al Qaeda to shoot any Americans soldiers they capture

They will already, so Al-Quaida prisoners are better off than US prisoners in the hands of terrorists.

BTW, nice troll.

[Ted Striker]

Glad to see you back in old form Horse. I was thinking you'd grown fond of the nice guy role.

[Drefsab]

NO! But it doesn't matter what I want. Reality is what matters.

The Al Queda are not soldiers, they're ****ing terrorists. You think they're gonna be checking Geneva convention rules on how to treat POWs? I don't think so. Remember what happened to the US soldiers captured in Somalia? These *******s have no respect and no honor as soldiers. They are the scum of this planet and they should be goddamned greatful that they are in the custody of a country that has some value for basic human rights.

They ****ing rammed jetplanes into buildings packed with civilians. Yeah, if it were up to me, I'd blow every last one of 'em away.

Another thing is, what happened to the presumption of innocence? The U.S. claims these people aren't POW's and yet they are being held without any due process as criminal defendants. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS

Yes, much better then those dirty caves in afghanistan.

Well, we might as well wish for the stars, cause the Talis and El Quida don't take prisoners.

This is really hurting U.S. credibility around the world.

Most of the hand wringers were looking for the door on 9/12, so this is hardly surprising.

We know what is being fought against but one wonders what is being fought for! So much for the human rights of the POWS!

Yes, those evil Americans are holding suicidal Islamics who have shorn to kill an American while in captivity, to show they are the sh1t...

The U.S. btw, is now the only Western country that still claims these prisoners aren't POW's.

USA was also the only nation hit on 9/11, we will decide what's up with the killers of our people.

The U.S. is looking ever more ridiculous claiming otherwise.

In your opinion.

On the troll meter, a solid 7 out of 10, really lacking in substance, been done before, some nice "us aginst them" inferences.
Not bad, but could have been more gut wrenching, didn't have to braek a sweat here.

If they are POWs, as you say, that would end that, now wouldn't it?

The U.S. claims these people aren't POW's and yet they are being held without any due process as criminal defendants.

Who said that?
They get the rights that all prisoners who show hostility get.

YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS

Sure we can, haven't you heard?

The USA does what it wants, it's in all the European papers.

[Ted Striker]

hahahahaha

I'll give it a 6.5 Chris.

So AH, you've got me, Chris, I'm sure MTG will show up along with DinoDoc.

Does that complete your list?

Didja see the pictures of the American pilots in the Gulf War that had their faces pounded on?

Some of those guys looked so weak after being put through some torture. I thought they were going to pass out. Though being tough Americans, they survived it.

[MichaeltheGreat]

It's positively outrageous...

Damn waste of fencing material.

Personally, I think tiger pits would be more appropriate. Preferably in an intertidal zone, to help wash 'em out every high tide.

Those boys are one hell of a lot better off than if we left 'em with their NA hosts.

[SlowwHand]

Just when I think you've pulled your head out of your ass, AH; you prove it's still firmly lodged in place.

Talk about things you know, and leave it at that.
