Palin has also been successful in pushing through substantive reform legislation.

Bush. He'll head back to Crawford in January, but this problem won't be remotely close to being resolved by then.

What we know is that, in previous terrorist attacks for example, the first attack against the World Trade Center, we were able to arrest those responsible, put them on trial. They are currently in U.S. prisons, incapacitated. And the...http://www.asininity.com/weblog/P3237/ More British Dhimmitude- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Mark Steyn and his publisher were hauled up before a kangaroo court (a.k.a. Human Rights Tribunal) in British Columbia by Muslims "upset" at a quotation from a Muslim imam that appeared in an extract from Steyn's book that was published in Macleans.

Even if that was true, it misses the...http://www.asininity.com/weblog/P3239/ Another huge problem with the Supreme's BOUMEDIENE ruling- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Obama, in his infinite wisdom, said:the first attack against the World Trade Center, we were able to arrest those responsible, put them in trial.

If any Gitmo prisoner is freed by a US civilian court and goes on to kill anyone, then that blood will be on the hands of Ginsberg, Souter, Kennedy, Stevens and Breyer. They are the ones who have given aid and comfort to the enemy. In that proud endeavor, they join the top legal firms, that have worked tirelessly on behalf of our enemies interred at Gitmo; our friends in the MSM, who have...http://www.asininity.com/weblog/P3234/ |
