[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] "Unlawful enemy combatants" is itself a word game- there is no legal definintion in any court that defines that- Bush was illegally holding prisoners by not having them in any known judicuial process- a fact that even the military prosecutors agree with. Guantanamo was home to only sham trials. Gitmo still houses "prisoners" that have been cleared of any wrongdoing- and that would now be killed if returned to their countries of origin. Not "combatatants" or "ememies" just people picked up in a warzone. Blaming the democrats for the recession and for trying to fix it is the ultimate in revisionist history: a total lack of finical regulation (hearalded by the Republicans and yes, some Democrats) brought it on along with the trading of bad debts (which was once regulated as per the New Deal) and foolish home urchases by people that could not afford the homes they got mortgages on. The initial framework for these "bailouts" was so tragicly stupid that it would have allowed Paulson (a republican, you'll recall) to have unlimited say over the money with no oversight. I wont say that the TARP has been handled well but it's unknown territory and it's being slogged through by [i]both[/i] parties. You say that Obama will have an [i]easier[/i] time making peace in Iraq because of Bush- when there [b]should never have been a war there in the first place[/b]- and Obama's administration now must fight a [i]much harder[/i] war in Afghanistan because of Bush's mismanagment and shortsightedness. Tens of thousands have died over a useless war with a regime that had nothing to do with 9/11 and posed no strategic risk to the United States. There's no justifying [i]that[/i] with some platitude about spreading freedom- the first freedom is to remianing alive. [QUOTE]That he fails to restore America's prestige and respectability.
