Quote from hapaboy:
You astound me, acronym.
Every time I think you have some sense you come out with ridiculous prattle like this stinking pile of dung.
Yeah, you left something out, primarily that handcuffing our military on the ground by having lawyers pour over the legality of something such as, oh, going searching for one's colleagues who have been kidnapped, for example...like what happened recently. Or didn't you bother to read that far?
I know you hate Bush and all that, but for chrissakes, would you be singing a different tune if it were Aussie troops we were talking about?
I see.
So, how long did it take to get action on vietnam pows, many of whom never officially existed? I didnt know that was lawyers fault! Oh, its the dems, my bad.
Do the israelis have all of the hostage soldiers back yet? My guess is lawyers werent a big factor there. They dont fuck around.
Maybe i missed something, but there are some large contradictions in the article.
The protect america act, was passed when? This is a new bill, or has it been in force for while?
The article is confusing, because it states, because this wasnt passed just now, it would be necessary to REVERT to pre 9/11 policy.
That suggests it was in force, so why didnt it help captured troops LAST MAY???
And as far as lawyers go, well most elected representatives are trained lawyers. I rest my case........
