Who made the decision to try the X mas day bomber as an everday civilian? Looks like it was Eric Holder by himself.

So here we have Abdulmutallab trained and equipped by al Qaeda, yet he is a criminal and not an enemy combatant under the Obama administration.

This administration is clueless.....

Terror is the poor man's war, war is the rich man's terror. Stop occupying and invading and generally meddling in the mideast and the terrorists will go away.

i second that. There is no official declared war on any country, so the incident is treated as a crime not act of war. This notion of sending people to military court is your way of advocating the torture of human beings.

And the ones that advocate the blowing up of planes?

cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
as long as he gets the death sentence i don't care .

who are "the ones"

They are the people you claim don't exist..

i take it you mean clergy that claim to be part of my religion but only use it as a backdrop to push their agenda? They're still criminals and should be treated as such.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I've read the Koran I wish you guys would be more precise in the parts you are wanting to talk about . Most of the parts that can be criticized were reactions to politics at the time . The right to criticize them comes from the people not standing up and defeating the people who use gods name to kill their own who gang rape their women to make it impossible for them to ever have a normal life .
There is a lot more about the Koran that's better than most religions so never believe its a bad religion just not as kind as the others .However, as in all things sometimes the problem is the uninformed person who is not able to convey what is necessary to dispel the misinformation . You have to pick your battles to win .

I think the religion has a large part to do with it.But I believe even with no religion these people would be just as Hell bent on death and destruction much like the Africans who spend every last dime on guns and ammo and starve their people to death.


As far as War and the United states occupying Iraq and Iran.They started this war not us.They were threatening us,threatening our people,and still continue to do so.I don't believe the Iraq,Afghanistan,or Iran people give two craps about our country and would jump at the chance to destroy it.I firmly believe as soon as we leave Iraq and Afghanistan they will turn back into a terrorist dictatorship and they will both unite in further attacking America.If you want to ***** and moan about the United states occupying your country then

1.)Don't threaten us with total destruction
2.)Don't attack our country
3.)Don't provoke us
4.)Don't ignore our threats of War and invasion if you don't cooperate with us.

Iran is a prime example of someone marching right to the road of War,invasion,and occupation.It is 100% their actions that will lead them to their own destruction.If the people of Iran want to jump up and down and shout "death to America" then they should not be surprised when they are looking down the barrel of a loaded gun.I don't feel the least bit sorry for them when they are being zipped up in a body bag.

ummm you are wrong buddy. If in fact 9/11 was carried out by so called terrorists and let me remind you that 7 of those who supposed;ly had hijacked planes are still alive today, it wasn't a random act done out of spite.
i assume you don't live under a rock, we didn't start this, could you explain the senseless murder that were carried out by your govt under Bush 1? how about clinton? let's not stop there your govt has been carrying out imperialism and genocide for the last 50 years. america's pushed people long enough yet you cry when someone pushes back.
None of the "hijackers" were afghan nor iraqi so what does iraq and afghanistan have to do with it? Nothing. As far as i'm concerned America is getting what it deserves. bush wanted a war with islam and he got it except real muslims aren't participating, he got the radical element that aren't muslims yet disguise as such to gain recruits to be used as fodder.
