First let me congratulate you on selecting such a picturesque monicker. The "Bukkake" indicates that you are familiar with sexual activities that some would consider deviate and demeaning to women, while others might consider it consensual, and exploring the limits. What meaning are you trying to convey with your compound word, Iraqi and Bukkake? It may be obvious to you, but it is not discernible offhand by me, and I'm sure some other avid readers of your posts are also baffled. What is your cryptic message?
I came up with it to describe the quagmire in Iraq in a beautiful alliterative package...which basically describes the orgy of destruction and money that Iraq is.
Your comment on "the rule of law" being dust in the wind, is also baffling. It may depend on what your understanding of "the rule of law" is. You may be dissatisfied with a course of events, but to then to try to justify the rectitude of your discontent with events by introducing unrelated words and phrases to which you attach semantic value, confuses the matter and accomplishes nothing.
Existing law provides that enemy combatants out of uniform caught on the field of battle or in a position where they are participating in the engagement even on a peripheral basis, providing intelligence or what have you, can be summarily executed on the spot. That's what happened post WWII, and was quite effective in stilling opposition. I regret that we have become so wary and do not use lethal force when and where appropriate to eliminate such enemies instead investing them with "rights." But that is further evidence of our increasing decadence and degeneracy. These people have been living on borrowed time. They should be thankful that they were enabled to survive so long and under such halcyon conditions in the tropics with good food.
Enemy combatants exist at the whim of the President. Anyone, including American citizens can be named enemy combantants by the President at any time. The test cases for these issues is always the most extreme example to make the sacrifice of rights as palatable as possible.
This has nothing to do with the field of battle or uniforms. When an individual is removed form the field of battle and detained by our government for a period of time, they deserve due process because American citizens can be given the same status by the President at a whim. These rights are supposed to be inalienable. Not even the almighty ruler of the manor is supposed to be able to take those away.
If these people are clearly guilty, which the powers that be seem to intimate, then this should be an open and shut case and there is no need for this enemy combatant nonsense. Hold the trials, put them on TV for free propaganda that the military loves so much, and execute them. It's that simple...unless the enemy combatants are just pawns in a much bigger game.
