These people were not exactly sitting in terror camps in Afghanistan on a Taliban picnic. |
Who said they were sitting in terrorist camps in the Middle East? A good portion were minding their own business in their own towns and villages. Only three were convicted of anything (David Hicks, the guy who gave material support to the 2001 terrorists, Salim Hamdan, Bin Laden's chauffeur, and Ali ah-Bahlul, who praised the attack on the USS Cole...), and there have been 775 people who have been to Gitmo (270 of which are still there; the rest have either been released due to either a lacking of evidence or sent to other countries for interrogation).

You fool, you can't beat/win against terrorism. So long as you've got a living human being, you'll have that one guy who takes on a political chaos doctrine. No matter how much we may all wish it, the unfortunate fact of life is you will always have those who choose terrorism.

By violating almost every right the Constitution guarantees us. Yes, it's quite important for the government to listen in on my phone calls, track my Internet records, place me on a watch list because of my name and origin, and just throw civility let alone my very inalienable rights out of the equation...
And this is where you give me the "Some sacrifices must be made" speech...

What do you expect? We devoted the majority of our Middle East invasion force to Iraq, not Afghanistan to pursue Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden. We took down one of the few stable governments over there that opposed terrorism but was ruled by an oppressive leader WHICH OUR GOVERNMENT PUT IN CHARGE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Oh please, spare me this song. It's getting quite repetitive.
The situation we are in now is not the fault solely of the Democrats as you claim, and at the same time it was not solely the fault of the Republicans. Still, Bush was president for the last 8 years, and Congress had a Republican majority from 1995 to 2007 and during the second half of Clinton's first term lasting until his resignation (except for that one incident with the flipping during the 107th Congress).

Maybe if the Republican-controlled Congress had gone with more of Clinton's proposals, he would have been able to accomplish more...
By the way, you know for a fact it probably would not have happened?

And you know this how? Please, I'd love to know. Do you by chance have a crystal ball that tells you what would have been?
