drivelphobe, you are in deep manure! ROFL

[nirak2-2009]

I wonder what a young American would do if his country is invaded and people are shot at? Not defend himself? I doubt it!

[kate13133]

Age does not matter. He killed an American GI and should be tried as an enemy combatant just as we charge our religious fanantics who kill and bomb here at home. 15 is old enough to know what you are doing and he chose to kill, not just stand there and be killed.

How fortunate this country was to have George Bush in office when the Trade Centers were destroyed. He has taken the action necessary to protect our country and it is unlikely that any other might have done the same thing. Bush, despite his many faults, knew what to do and did it. We''d be in deep manure if Al had been president. We should thank our lucky stars.

This is the Jihadists war, this is radical Islams war, this is Osama''s war, this is Al Zawhri''s war, this is Hezbollahs war, this is Hamas''s war, this is the Talibans war, this is Al Axis martyrs war, this is Fatah''s war, this is Iran''s republican gaurd''s war, this is a Muslim holy war, the radicals minions are vast and pervasive, they dwell throughout the middle east and greater world. This is not Bush''s war, only an idiot would blame this evil on an American president. Bush was the first with enough balls to actually fight back and if you bleieve it will be all over when Bush is gone your an idiot who''s purposeful blinding to the truth is beyond comprehension. The savage radical militants o

This is George Bush''s war on terrorism.

Imprisoning 15 year old Canadians like dogs. Oh, that boy looks very frightening.

Absolutly ridiculous. Bush and Cheney should be in prison not this little Canadian boy.

When do the war crime trials start for the real criminal regeim?

[speakinup]

I have no compassion for his age. He can pull a trigger, and he is there.

If he had jumped off a building, would physics say, oh - he''s only 15, I''ll give him another chance. No.

This is bleedly heart liberals unable to understand that war does bad things. Time for this sick puppy to pay for his stupidity.

Ayman al-Zawahiri surrender or Al Qaeda is killed into oblivian, then the war will be over and POWs released.

The extremism of their ideology will not end with their capture or demise. How many more Omar Khadr have been brainwashed into believing the justice of their cause that will carry it on? One has to confront and dismantle the ideology in order to end it.

[notblue]

There was a fifteen year old on the battlefield in Afghanistan! ***! This is yet another example of Radical Islam at work, this is the nature of the evil spewed to brainwash these young men. Probably brainwashed by his family, Imam, and daily messages from the mosque.

A 15 year old killer! Now what would a 15 year old Canadian be doing wandering around eastern Afghanistan throwing grenades at U.S. forces. Try him and lock up the TERRORIST

"Let us ask ourselves. How would this child be treated in our juvenile system? I know of kids who committed murder served a few years and had thier records expunges - no mention of it as adults. Why are we treating Omar any different?"

Because he is not an American citizen in our criminal justice system. You contradict yourself; you call him a POW, which he technically is not of course since Al Qaeda nor the Taliban were ever signatories to Geneva and their "soldiers" do not wear uniforms and routinely target civilians. But, assume he was a POW (and I advocate TREATING them as such even if they are not legally), that means we can and SHOULD hold him and the others until the conflict is over; they should NOT be tried, especially in our civilian courts! When Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri surrender or Al Qaeda is killed into oblivian, then the war will be over and POWs released. POWs are released during wartime only when hostilities have ceased or in a prisoner exchange, and we know there won''t be one of those because while we give their prisoners good meals, recreation time, copies of the Koran, medical care, and prayer mats; they have no prisoners of ours because anyone they get their hands on is beheaded on the internet!!

Seems like if they would simply turn him over to the 700 Club, or some other Christian Taliban organization, rather than bother with a sham trial, and had him executed on live TV, they could get a few more votes in the next election cycle.

Like it or not he''s a terrorist, got nothin'' to do with the 700 club, Karl Marx, Groucho Marx or Captain Kangaroo. It''s all about the 00 and 04 elections with you still, get over it.

Many of the posters on this board must be doing LSD. They sound like a bunch of the brain-fried druggies I used to know, on Mescaline, chasing imaginary sands crabs on the beach.

Sober up.

Let us ask ourselves. How would this child be treated in our juvenile system? I know of kids who committed murder served a few years and had thier records expunges - no mention of it as adults. Why are we treating Omar any different?

The label terrorist is similiar to the communist label given to many for supposed unAmerican activities. THese are prisnoers of war. and Omar is a child soldier. As such he should be tried as child soldier who was influenced by a fauly paradies with 42 virgins awaiting hime (lured by ***).

There is no evidence showing he threw the grenade that killed the medic. It could have been thrown by one his dead counterparts. This is a sad day in America. Holding a child in prsion for 6 years without a trial is a shame. We will be hated even more by Islam.

The Bush administration has tarmished our human rights record with Guantanamo, ruined our credibility with lies of the war, placed the US dangerously in debt where we can''t provide for our own children and severly ruined international ties for decades to come. Bring this trrops home and forget this unhumane war that has cost lives and enriched Bush''s buddies.

[asoldiertoo]

Omar Khadr is lucky to be alive, he should have been killed by US service members in Afghanistan. It is unAmerican to hold him in Cuba, but not because of his age.

'' ... what''s the difference in ruling forever because one wants to, and because one will be damned not to? whatever difference one chooses ... my soul spans forever, and i get a bad dream here or there now or then and chaos seems to rumble round till i calm inside and out and remember it was all my fault and i never truly cut anyone but myself ... i only glance at you cruelly because you are not the one i wish that i could be; though, i''m sure to be again ...

Re: "Khadr is a Canadian citizen, he likes Harry Potter, and he was only 15 years old when he was captured..."

Harry Potter, eh?

Seems like if they would simply turn him over to the 700 Club, or some other Christian Taliban organization, rather than bother with a sham trial, and had him executed on live TV, they could get a few more votes in the next election cycle.

This was interesting as a young child obeyed his father and the belief to protect their country. Russia tried to invade while the US came in to make sure Russia couldn''t do it. If only the children of Afghanistan disobeyed their parents like US children do. Now if an American parent tells a kid to go out and do something most will not. While the parents of this young man have the control and know their child will do as their told. We hear kids in the US curse at their parents and even beat them up but we''re the country others should want to be like. I don''t agree with what this boy was told but the US official who showed so much hate when speaking about such a young child with no evidence to say he did anything but translate as his father ordered him to do. I pray no American child who might be overseas is ever treated the way we treat children here in the US. Right now we have more children being molested by Americans and Law Makers so we have our own problems.
