    Helped? What, you mean you guys didn't actually win it all by yourselves, with John Wayne leading the charge?


    LOL, just kidding. Getting back to Clinton, can't you just see him in the Supreme Court on Casual Fridays?

    William Taft did it. So there is precedent. But in this politically charged day and age it's highly unlikely.
     
  3. Yes, because nobody in Gitmo was rounded up and sold for ransom.
    Jesus, read a little.

    Fenian what was the general feeling of the country when the US brought over the German war prisoners from North Africa and dispersed them to prisons around the country? Were people upset with Roosevelt?

    Boom, there has never been a good reason for us to invade Iraq. Were they a threat to us? This much of a threat? All these lives?

    There was a good reason to take on Germany.
     
  6. They were treated as POW's. (My father's ship brought back a number of them from North Africa.) They were not waterboarded. They were not tortured. They were not sold by the local warlords for a ransom. They knew they would be repatriated after the end of the war.
    C'mon, Boom.

    Just sayin Fenian its not the first time that the US has set up prison camps. Many forget or don't even know that we had German war prisoners.

    BTW one of their lasting legacies is the fine golf course they built at West Point.

    The problem with your historical analogy is that the current situation isn't, well, analogous. Gitmo -- to say nothing of the black sites in Europe -- are sui generis in our history. Thanks, Fredo.

    But, but, but I thought NO CRIMES MEANS NO CRIMES.....
     
  10. As I have said, let's have the same kind of investiogations into this crowd that we had into TravelGate, FileGate, FosterGate, Whitewater -- You know, the ones that produced no evidence of crimes by the president at all - and then see where we're at. Four congressional committees. Five special prosecutors. Those kind of things.
    Then your post would make sense and you could faint dead away.

    A lot of people fell on their swords in many of those scandals to make sure the President stayed above the fray and if you dispute that, then you are LYING TO YOURSELF.

    And further, you can't have different standards for different people or else you are a hypocrite and a fraud and thus -- NO CRIMES MEANS NO CRIMES.
