That you didn't know this is telling.

still have that comprehension problem I see....

Now, answer the question...what part pertains to a Bedouin in the desert of the Sinai?

It's you have that have the problem.

Once captured by the US military, that person is in the jurisdiction of the United States.

If that's not enough for you..because it should be..the United States is a signatory nation to the Geneva Convention.

The Bush administration had to carve out a rather unique and almost unprecedented approach to torture that hasn't been used since the civil war and call them "Enemy Combatants."

That was profoundly unconstitutional and against the bedrock principles of this country.

Shockingly none of that is true.
The BoR is not a roving shield that protects Americans everywhere under all circumstances. The Geneva Convention is meaningless here. The Bush administration did not engage in torture, no matter how many times the Left invokes the term. The Supreme Court used the term enemy combatants in ex parte Quirin in the 1940s, so there is good precedent for what Bush did. ANd we know it worked because Obama has continued most of his policies.

LOl, the liberal/Obama cult followers are melting down and it's not a pretty thing

I feel nothing but pity for them...You rammed this man down our throats, sold him as being the most brilliant and sent from the heavens above.... now you get to live with the disgrace he has become as he is seen by a majority here at home..

tsk tsk
waaa

Obama is 10 times better then anybody the GOP could produce . Live with that !

Ten times better at lying. This is true.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Why is Obama pretending he doesn't take orders from Putin?

What is Putin's endgame here? Why did he tell Obama to pretend to be against the Ukraine Invasion?

No, they are not subject to the Constiution if they are in custody and not citizens. I realize some think this, but people think that Obama is a good president. Go figure.

The Geneva Convention makes no mention of our Constitution.

They ARE enemy combatants...its called English and the words have meaning.....

Later.

The alternative would be to do what armies have always done. Kill them. So the liberals hate that prisoners are housed instead of killed and we are supposed to make sense of that?

Obama should pretend that Putin is a "teaBagger"

 

[longknife]

Once again, a thread goes to crap because of diversion and inanity.

 

[Kosh]

Who would have thought one would see the day when the 'Conservatives' would be cheering for the naked aggression of Russia? It seems that if they think that it might in any way be a detriment to our President, they are for it. Even to the extent of cheering for the re-instatement of the old Russian and Soviet empire.

There is a name for this, and it is treason. To work against the interests of the United States and, indeed, the civilized world, is treason of the highest sort. These are the people that would have joined the Bund. An embarrassment to our nation, an embarrassment to humanity.

Nothing but far left Obama Drone propaganda!

 

[Kosh]

Obama should pretend that Putin is a "teaBagger"

Can he do that as he shows how to bow down to the new king of the world?

 

[Dot Com]

The Putin- fluffing going on here by USMB Repub- voters is very illuminating

 

[Avatar4321]

I agree with you 100%. There were not long ago various threads in which they jeered at Obama and praised Putin to the hilt, saying outright they'd prefer Putin as US President. They are so blinded and screwed up by partisanship and hatred of Obama, they will commit treason and support anything that is against Obama, even if it means worshiping and wishing for Putin, a Communist dictator, to be our President, and wishing for Putin to annex a part of another country through naked aggression and re-instatement of the Soviet Empire. The conservatives doing this are really, really stupid people. Really stupid.

So the US State Department under Nuland directing a coup against Yanukovych with 5 billion dollars to take over Ukraine with a puppet government isn't naked aggression? What fantasy world are you living in?

Reality is seeing with your own eyes what is happening. Fantasy is believing what your paranoid pundits tell you: you are the one with the fantasy.

Says the one falsely claiming conservatives a cheering for Putin and have ever done so.

Russia has invaded the Ukraine. It means Mitt Romney was right that Russia is our number one Geopolitical foe.

Do you kno what's going to happen if the Russians get their way here? They will try again. They will take Georgia next. and then keep going. China will start acting next.

The world as we know it is changing. The UN will deteriorate and become even more worthless, if that's possible.

Wasn't someone demanding evidence for the OP? Good job Kosh!

 

[Katzndogz]

Obama should pretend that Putin is a "teaBagger"

As half the country is already firmly against what obama is doing, that's about all he has left to hang onto what fragile relationships he has with the remainder that still support him. Watch for President Putin to be called a racist any day now.

Really? because right now it look as he wasnt even better than Romney who recognize Russia as a problem and who was mocked by Obama for saying so.

You need to open your eyes and humble yourself. Not because we are right and you are wrong, but because if you don't open your eye, you are going to be dead from the bloodshed that is going to commence.

 

[C3PO]

I do not believe for one second that anyones's mother is fearing for her life in h Crimea. Where are all these 'many fascists' - other than in the inventive mind of Mr Putin, seeking a pretext for reinforcing the already large numbers of Russian military already in the Crimea perfectly legally.

Which war did your friend die in? WWII? and were they killed by Hitler's or Stalin's murderers?

Yes, but my friend's mom lives in the Crimea, and he is here because it is a single country Russia, and I do not know that you are lying.
I called friends in Kharkiv. They are scared to leave the house, scared to speak their native language.

We have every family has died in any war. Do not believe, I'm not interested in your trust, believe or a not believe- you business.

Where did you get so much anger at Putin and Obama, and why you need Ukraine?

 

[Dot Com]

Fox/GOPTV must be pushing the Putin great leader meme no doubt.

It's all they talk about , damn funny the shit they spew , saddest part of all the lap dogs that eat the shit up.

The OP is diversion and inanity. It had nowhere to go from there.

I'm kind of amazed it hasn't made it to the Badlands yet, like every other inane thread.

 

[boedicca]

Poor oldrocks. He and his comrades are in Shock and Denial that Palin, Romney and other conservatives were absolutely correct regarding Putin.

The progs are so ignorant of history, they are headed towards repetition.

Sound familiar:

“Combining the unbridled tongue with the unready hand.” Thus did Theodore Roosevelt define statesmanship at its worst. This is what America’s bipartisan ruling class is giving us.

That is exactly the Obama Doctrine.

The Obama Administration tried buffering last week’s announcement that it is reducing the US Army’s size to below its levels of 1940 (when the world’s population was less than one third what it is today) by suggesting that it would concentrate on mastery of the sea and of space. 110051079But the announcement’s not-so fine print envisaged cutting the number of US aircraft carriers, among other things. Like its predecessors, this administration is committed not to build the weapons that would let America secure orbital space for our own satellites and against ballistic missiles coming our way. As under its predecessors, this administration is devoting fewer and fewer dollars to weapons and to those who use them, while it diverts more and more to bureaucracy. Today, more than half of military personnel are behind desks.

The bottom line is that the United States of America has an increasingly hollow military. As politicians of both parties issue sonorous warnings and give inflammatory advice as if they were responsible for everything under the sun, American soldiers and sailors are spread around the globe, less feared and hence more hated, exposed to attacks against which they are less and less able to defend themselves. With ever less capacity to deal with the situations into which they are thrust, they are becoming symbols of American decline rather than of strength....

(snip)

Something like that has happened before. A hundred years ago Theodore Roosevelt had warned Americans that, if we wanted peace in the Pacific, we should either withdraw from the Philippines or build a navy that Japan must respect. We did neither. Instead, US policy consisted of sonorous moral commitments to peace and good order, coupled with an increasingly hollow military: the unbridled tongue and the unready hand. The American people paid the price in blood.

Balancing ends and means has ever been the essence of practical wisdom in international affairs. Arguably the only sensible thing that President Obama has said regarding international affairs – whether he meant it is beside the point – is that America will not again engage in occupations. That was another of the excuses he gave for reducing the US Army. But if the US military will not be good for that bad purpose, for what will it be good? Certainly, Obama’s emphasis on “special forces” and “cyber security” will leave the US military incapable of dealing with serious adversaries, anywhere.

No matter. On Friday, February 28 Barack Obama told the world that the United States government is “deeply concerned” by “reports of military movements taken by the Russian Federation inside Ukraine.” He warned Russia not to interfere in Ukraine and threatened that if it does, “there will be costs.” Given the imbalance between this Administration’s tongue and its hand, Americans and Ukrainians have more to fear than does Vladimir Putin.
