Is the War on Jihadistan lost?

‘What Americans Stand For’

...

NEWSWEEK: How do you see the military commission and torture issues playing out? Is the president going to get the legislation he wants?
Lindsey Graham: This idea of trying somebody where they don’t get [to see] the evidence against them, but the jury does—that’s dead. That’s going nowhere ...

Why are you so against it?
Let me give you the best example. What if a CIA paramilitary guy is caught in Iran, trying to find out about the Iranian [nuclear] program? What would our response be if the Iranian government put them on trial as a war criminal? And had a procedure where the prosecutor could give to the jury or the judge a file marked “secret” and never provide that to the accused? We would scream bloody murder ... We would go crazy.

We fully expect this kind of nonsense from our friends on the Left.

However, we are supposed to be the adults, the ones who understand that human nature has not changed since Adam bit the apple.

Does Senator Graham actually believe that any trial of a "CIA paramilitary guy" would be anything but a kangaroo court, a prelude to a brutal execution? Is he seriously comparing our military tribunals to "justice" under the Sharia?

The blatherings of Senator McCain on this point are equally fatuous.

Guess what guys ... When one of our men is apprehended by these beasts he is tortured then cut into pieces ... Oh -- and booby-trapped.

Only blithering idiots like the "liberals" on the Supreme Court, the flakes at Kos -- and now, several quisling GOP Senators, could countenance that the Geneva Conventions apply to these animals ...

While we have many disagreements with the president (immigration, domestic spending) it is clear that he and his Vice President are the last adults standing.
