Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, November 10, 2008

The ACLU is taking out a full-page ad in the New York Times urging President-elect Barack Obama to close of the Guantanamo prison camps and war court on inauguration day. "On day one, with the stroke of a pen, you can restore America's moral leadership in the World," the ad reads.

Yeah--put those bastards in the US courts and then let them go.

Anyone see the NY Post article (?) on how dangereous these guys are and what a danger they would be if released?

Let's see if Obama ignores the intel reports on the guys staying at Gitmo and how fast he wants to let them go.

Blah, blah, blah. This country can only be helped by retreating from fascism. The idea only Bush knew how to deal with dangerous men is another stupid thing we can throw out with the trash.

Don't need to see any article from any paper or media outlet.

They DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

Refusing to have fair legal due process of the law and hiding all the facts, names, charges, even the reason they are there suggests that any media being printed is just made up shit.

It is funny watching idiots think the USA is under some great threat, it just laughable.

Let's see if Obama ignores the intel reports on the guys staying at Gitmo and how fast he wants to let them go.

McAnkles lives for fear and innuendo..

Looking forward to doing without torture, too. This country has had too many years of being told being decent is the same as being weak.

God, I'm getting in touch with exactly how many nasty, violent, repressive, dishonest, and self-injurious things we were told are and should be normal.

"What will the left say if he decides to keep the status quo? I doubt I'll get a straight answer from anyone on the DR. "

I'll be pissed off. Is that straight enough of an answer for you?

"Anyone see the NY Post article (?) on how dangereous these guys are and what a danger they would be if released?"

Murph, old girl, last time I looked the state of simply being "dangerous" was not a crime. It is contrary to American law and traditions to jug folks who "might" do something wrong. Guantanamo is an international outrage, and like the Fort Benning "School of the Americas" should be closed before January is up. herm

Hey here is a thought. If they are so dangerous try them and convict them and send em up the river(Prison) How hard is that to understand??

Larry

" If they are so dangerous "

Some of them are Paki cab drivers; That's pretty fucking dangerous.

Oh and how many "Dangerous" detainees have been released by Dubya Hmmmmmmmmmmmm why no bitch about that??

Larry

If these guys are let out and one of them happen to bomb a building, imagine the political ground shift and the I told you sos from the reps.

obama won't be able to do jack diddley for the economy, he now says it might take 2 terms, " What the fuck is that piece of shit talking about"? I was lead to believe that he was going to wave his hands or dick over the country on January 20 th and all would be right with the country and world, that foreigners were going to come over and kiss our asses. Now he's saying it will take time, no duh you fucking moron, anybody can fix any problem in time, it is the greats that can do it toot sweet you fucking piece of human debris.
Welcome to the banana republic o' da obamanation, built on lies and hard working American's tax dollars.
GOD damn you commie fucks for putting him in the White House, you deserve everything you get.

Jan 20th , the grand opening of Camel Lot, buy a 1 or 2 humper, bring your own vaseline, grab your ankles.

I just love these Right Wingers. Their "Beloved" and don't give me that Bullshit about disownment. You hired Him His stink will be on You forever. He lands us all in a terrible hole and You expect Obama to just wave His hands and say begone?? It's going to take a long time to dig out from the mess Dubya has made. Suck it up and accept responsibility for it. Or keep quiet while ADULTS fix things. Rome wasn't built in a day and this will take more time than either of us wants it to take. That is what happens when You hire a total failure.

Larry

Rightnut.... some Obama supporters are even saying that Obama will pay their rents and mortgages. Ignorance aside, don't get too exercised. Once in a great while, there comes along some people who get so lucky and walks into the right opportunities. I'm afraid, Obama could prove to be such a one (through no power or virtue of his). He just gets lucky.

Obama got into the Senate by sheer luck. He admitted it in his 'The Audacity of Hope'. By sheer luck he got elected for President.

And by sheer luck, when a certain alternative energy is released to full scale (now being experimented in some army facilities) the economic turn around might be so swift that we would forget the present crisis in a hurry. It could happen! It may not happen! You never know.

"Rightnut" sputters well beyond comprehension, but his "TakeIt" buddy, who rants about getting "exercised," suggests The Big O got elected by luck. And Bush? By crime, by gosh! herm

ACLU Presses Obama to Close Gitmo

Never going to happen. Not in his first term at least. Besides, where is he going to put them?

He's not going to allow them into this country so they can avail themselves of the American criminal justice system. So many will be acquitted that he'll be an international laughing stock.

My bet is after the next election, he puts them on prison barges and they mysteriously sink.

You seriously think so HC?? You would think this would be the right time to start correcting the wrongs Dubya has done. You don't want that?? WOW

Larry

Barak Obama will have a bag of worms on his hands if he closes down Guantanamo as he promised. Once he starts to ponder the realities of the situation something tells me they aren't going anywhere.

their own countries won't take them back,so they must be real sweethearts and why no uproar to set their people free?

Hey liberals you voted for this terd so when your taxes go up because you are now rich don't bitch, taxes are fun and "Patriotic" and higher taxes always help a struggling economy good luck with that plan. The only thing we learned from the elections is that 53% of Americans either embrace Socialism or they are just plain STUPID !!!!

Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military.

"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."

I agree with the ACLU. Close GitMo and open up an actual secret prison that has even crueler and more sadistic methods.

"Once he (Obama) starts to ponder the realities of the situation...."

Is that what you think Bush did before he opened Gitmo? Pondered? LOL.

You seriously think so HC?? You would think this would be the right time to start correcting the wrongs Dubya has done. You don't want that?? WOW

#20 | Posted by LarryMohr

I do want that. I do think this is the right time, the only time, to correct "the wrongs Dubya has done." I don't believe that Obama will do it though. To risky... His incumbency is more valuable to him than that. I don't think he's willing to risk losing the next election in order to do the right thing in this term.

I'll be more than happy to be wrong about him though.

"When he's (Obama) proposing to have a national security force answerable to him...."

You mean---Like the Army, Navy, and Marines?

"He's showing signs of being a Marxist...."

Ask Chairborne what wishing for more cruel and sadistic is a sign of.

Too risky.

So basically, Obama will "sell out" just so he can have power again in another four years? Wow...I can't roll my eyes enough.

I think the new prison should be on top of a mountain. The mutts don't like ice and snow. We can give them a prayer rug that doubles as a blanket.

Or we could simply turn them over to their enemies and wash our hands of the whole thing. Well at least for a couple of minutes until we start collecting more mutts to torture.

"He's showing signs of being a Marxist....."

God, eight years of George Bush behaving like a dictator wannabee without even a burp from neoconservatism.

Here's news---If Obama does as Bush did he'll deserve to be gone just as much.

This is Chairborne's act. Just in case there's any newbees out there. You just have to ask your self what's worse----To believe that way or to feel like you need to pretend so.

You mean---Like the Army, Navy, and Marines?

Obama already has as you pointed out Army, Navy, and Marines so why does he need a civilian force like Hitler...

"Why does he need a civilian force (like that Marxist) Hitler.....?"

Boy, you can't make this up.

No act Zed. I'm 100% for secret prisons, harsh interogation, rendition, and uncomfortable prison conditions.

I'm also 100% for turning these mutts over to their host governement. If the host government executes or tortures them I could care less.

The more secret the prison and the goings on, the better.

Hitler had no "civilian force" I'm aware of. He did have the SA, which was paramilitary, and the SS which were overtly political troops.

Are you telling me you expect to see those things? And, if so, you're basing that idea on what?

So basically, Obama will "sell out" just so he can have power again in another four years?
#29 | Posted by mictian101

"Just"?

LOL. It will also be so he has a chance of getting anything at all done during this term as well. Republicans, who probably aren't going to cooperate much the way things stand now, are DEFIITELY not going to cooperate in any way, shape or form if he closes Gitmo. The logistical problem alone will be a PR and political nightmare for him.

DEFINITELY

Are you telling me you expect to see those things? And, if so, you're basing that idea on what?

Obama speaks for himself you just have to listen

"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."

"That's exactly what Hitler did...."

Except that it's not.

We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

Broun is a pant pisser, but Obama chose his words poorly IMO.

"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."

This is going to be a fun 4-8 years, watching the wingnuts go wild!

Kick back, take your shoes off and let the fun begin!

NO ONE WOULD TAKE THEM

so what will aclu prefer?? well hell thats easy
unlease them in america somewhere or anywhere they WANT TO GO.........

and this is the same as what moveon.org has also just come out with

they as well as the aclu has CALLED IN THIER CHIPS with obama.....and someone ACTUALLY tried to say on tv the other day that obama was going to govern from more towards the middle?????

please................

heres hopinh that when they are set lose in the us that they all move next door to some of our liberal bros here.......I am sure they can "TALK " all that terrorists out of them or show them how fuckin smart they are and we will all live happily ever after in the land of OBAMATOPIA


You would think this would be the right time to start correcting the wrongs Dubya has done. You don't want that?? WOW

Wanting something and knowing it will not happen are two completely different things, Larry.

You're not stupid, so don't pretend to be.

I'll be pissed off. Is that straight enough of an answer for you?

#8 | Posted by nullifidian

Get ready to be pissed then. Obama's already backing off of the troop withdrawal from Iraq. Instead of 16 months he now says it must be a 'responsible' withdrawal. In other words, don't expect us to leave any sooner than what the security agreement calls for. Right now they are talking 2010, which still could fall under the 16 months but it won't be becuase Obama called for it. I suppose we'll see on that.

Also, don't get to excited if the middle class doesn't see those tax cuts. Clinton promised the same thing and it never happened. It will be fun to watch how many promises he doesn't keep.

ever...........you are pretty aware of what REALLY will happen good for you

listening to cnbc atually just the other night and a guest there put it right, I think

if jobs get better and the economy starts to move forward.......the MIDDLE class will not get TAX CUTS..........his words, not mine

ALSO.............just as RUSH said months and actually years ago..
the dems will take all the credit for iraq IF they allow it to succeed because of the timetable and the surge and all of those things combined.
things moving in iraq would have been on the same timetable you mentioned regardless of who had won the election............

OF COURSE>..........there are signals coming from there that obama may not have been the answer

TWO terrorists groups have already called on him to get all the troops out and stop the war on terror......
and one of those groups is the mujadeen whatchamacallit.............

I hear ya BL2. Also, I made a mistake, the security agreement calls for troops to be in Iraq until 2012 much longer than Obama's 16 months. I'm curious, what do the dems here think about it if Obama doesn't get the troops out in say 2 years? He was very adamant about 16 months and he said it many times to help get votes.

Combat forces out in 16 months
He was very clear making that distinction all throughout the campaign.

which leaves how many, AU? Last count I read about was 45,000+... which will have to be protected by who? Blackwater et. al.? How much more do they cost than the average soldier? Three to four times as much?

HC

I have no idea. Currently 145,000 U.S. Military personnel still in Iraq.

Let us know the answer ....

Those questions were never pondered by the Obama sycophant. They are simpletons and the only thing that matters are the talking point. They simply heard the same thing everyone else heard, only to them it meant "He's getting us out of Iraq".

The fact that we'll have 10's of thousands troops still there is lost on them.

The thing is, since the best we were going to get from either major party candidate is the removal of "combat troops," and the one's remaining were going to need protection from 10's of thousands more contractors at 3-4 times the price of a regular soldier, and being that the economy was the major issue of the day last tuesday, you'd have to ask yourselves which plan was going to cost more? And if that answer didn't make you happy, well wouldn't it have made sense to take the third option with your vote?

It might mean something to us that combat troops are being withdrawn, but if they're going to be replaced with contractors, to the Iraqi's, thats a distinction without a modicum of difference. And if the Blackwater contractors are as gung ho as even some of the tamer stories we've heard, and if they are legally untouchable by Iraqi law or US law, then maybe .... ah, screw it.

The best part is "combat troops" will still be there. Somebody will be protecting the bases besides blackwater.

Obama is simply telling the masses what they wanted to hear. That's enough for them.

So instead of 145,000 soldiers, there will only be 93,000 and the sycophants will claim we're out of Iraq...
(A SF Gate article from 2007 said there were 52,500 combat soldiers in Iraq prior to the surge, so I used that number)

#53 | Posted by 101Chairborne

I low-balled the number because I didn't want to believe that we'd buy the claim that we're getting out of iraq if the numbers were even larger.

I can't believe that my political differences are as great as they are with those whom I am in ideological agreement.

"GOD damn you commie fucks for putting him in the White House, you deserve everything you get."

Please god, damn me, better yet if your fucking there strike me down now!! Didn't think so cuz like brains in a conservative, you don't exist.

We do deserve it, health care, lower taxes, less dumb pricks like you in washington!! We get to be in control and tell you to piss your self if you don't like it, oh wait you already have.

P.S. Am I to understand that you just called more than half of America commies? Why do you hate America and freedom so much? R u scared that GOD let you down, and actually didn't hear your prayers, or even worse, god exists and wants OBAMA as president!!

LM

LOL. Lower taxes. that is too funny. The highest tax bracket in America just lost 40% of their wealth. Have fun your taxes are going up and the bottomfeeders will still be there in four years

This is going to be a fun 4-8 years, watching the wingnuts go wild!

Kick back, take your shoes off and let the fun begin!

Like watching the mentally challenged do calculus.

Good times. Ataxpayer is drifting off towards conspiracy theory land, 101 taking up the violent ignorant vote, and Taki has gone completely batshit....

At least Oorah hasn't beached his whale yet.

They howl "marxist" and "dictatorship" well before the inauguration, even. They'll be even noiser, but secretly disappointed, when Barack turns out to be the quintessential middle of the roader. herm
