Seethe, Pepe, seethe

Tecumseh said...: Care to define what you mean by that? Waterboarding is reserved for terrorists caught doing their evil deeds -- combatants not in uniform (hence not covered by the Geneva conventions), foreign killers caught and handled outside the US (thus not covered by usual safeguards afforded to US citizens or residents). Now, when you're talking about "your own", who exactly you're talking about -- US soldiers in uniform fighting overseas, according to established rules of war? US civilians traveling abroad? Are you calling for your beloved head hackers to do their stock-in-trade crimes against these groups of people?; 3/08/2008 9:32 AM
Pepe le Pew said...: right. i just hope whoever gets their hands on your boys make that distinction: we be bad guys so we can't treat the americans the way they treat us because they are the good guys. plus they wear sexy uniforms when we are in rags.
When this happens, tell me how it went.; 3/08/2008 6:40 PM
Tecumseh said...: You play dumb, yeah? It's not a question whether the uniform is "sexy" or not. It's a question of whether those terrorists whose cause you keep defending are legal combatants -- they're definitely not -- and whether they're cause has any validity whatsoever -- it doesn't. The only valid response by the US to the terrorists attacks against us is guerre a outrance against the bastards who attacked us. Period. And, as W put it, you're either with us, or against us on this. You made your choice clear. And I made mine. Hasta la vista, baby!; 3/08/2008 7:52 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: AI, I am not playing dumb. You should understand damn well that whatever you allow yourselves to do unto your enemies will invite your enemies to do unto you. Are you arguing that, on the battlefield, the head-hackers will make the distinction between types of combatants that you are suggesting?; 3/09/2008 12:03 PM
