Jordan: Release Our Pilot, or We'll Kill All ISIS Captives
Posted by Rocky_Road 9 years, 3 months ago to Politics
This is how you call a spade a spade, and turn the tables on terrorists.
Take note WH...if terrorists insist upon living by the knife, we should accommodate them.
Isn't that the definition of tolerance, to 'walk' a mile in their sandals?

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'isis'"
How does anyone in the WH even sleep at night? (Don't say "in their coffins until nightfall", because I have seen pictures of the POTUS in the sun.)
But I have never heard of 'midnight golf'...and the POTUS spends most of his working hours trying to beat the crap out of that racist (read: white) ball.
Sounds like playing poker blindfolded, or Bowling for Dollars using a tennis ball.
Come to think of it, Obama's entire foreign policy has been a spirited game of Go Fish....
Okay....midnight golf...you use glow in the dark balls and there are glow stick on carts, flags and some other stuff I don't remember... I am NOT a golfer...can't stand the sport (is it a sport, really?) I got roped into it and only agree for the hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps (I won't tell you about gulping down a nice furry moth the size of a caterpillar..IT WAS DARK!) Anyway, I was on vacation, I had no long pants..it was a chilly night, I had to borrow a pair of my Dad's jeans and my sister's shoes..I won't repeat the one liners that inspired. My sister, who was 'driving' our cart, took a short cut through the woods (did I mention it was DARK?)... I cussed a LOT that night...mostly after missing the ball, THWAP! Oh..and it was raining. Never again!
:)
Putting on a green where the ball displays a little 'rooster-tail' of water behind it as it rolls eventually made us 'relatively die-hards' give up after two or three holes, and we were pissed that the course monkeys wouldn't refund us Anything, either!
But, no, your story makes for great story-telling and educational lessons for lots of folks who might otherwise think of the glory of such 'challenges.'
I can't even imagine the 'glorious challenge' of football in a snowstorm! But it makes for great TV. Someone should have been recording your 'adventure'! Maybe with night-vision enhancement on the cameras! :)))))))))
The only golfing I ever did after dark, involved getting my bright orange golf ball over the speed bump, and through the rotating blades of the 5 foot high windmill. Par 2 'hole'...took me about 9 shots.
Way to Putt Putt!
I am sure that I have done something as dumb at least once in my past. Let me dwell on this, and maybe I can come up with something.... ;-)
Go and rent a copy of the movie Pacific Heights...you will love it!
Here's a trailer:

My dad once moved one of his tenants stuff to the street while she was out, and changed the locks. He had asked her to leave but she refused. My dad said she was from the Gestapo, marching back and forth every night in an upstairs unit. My dad lost other tenants down stairs due to her marching. He lucked out because she picked up her stuff from the street and left. He could have lost everything under the law. If you're considering becoming a landlord please contact me first.

If I, personally, had seen whatever death-deserving actions the ISIS prisoners had committed, sure - I'd take them out back and put a bullet in their heads.
But when you separate evidence from punishment, eventually you'll find some scary guys knocking on your own door.
So what can we do that is both just and doesn't leave them in prison to be taken care of, or traded back, or in being as asset in some way?
I'm not sure yet, and this is one I fret about a lot.
Battlefield trials? Some police say that eyewitnesses are unreliable. "You're ISIS, you're dead" sessions? They would do the same to us, which is part of why I find it repugnant.
I do not know the answer - but I do know that no one else seems to, either.
It feels 'good' to apply our morals, and legal standards, to our sworn enemies...but, in the end, where has this gotten us? I submit that it has put us into a hopeless, and doomed, position.
We are losing the War on Terror...on every describable front.
;-)
p.s. we've been wondering what to do with them
after they've given up all of their secrets?
here it is!!!
We should've left Saddam in Iraq. We destabilized the whole region in taking him out.
I have a caricature from by "friends" at my previous job. They called me "Analogy Man", with an accurate, but semi-unflattering illustration of me on a pile of books with a scarlet "A" on my chest...no connection to the Hawthorne book, but it is red.
BHO and Rachel might prefer 'negotiating with the roaches,' but that's not my inclination.
It also seems evident that the Jordanian pilot is no longer alive, since Jordan had agreed to ISIS's exchange demands days ago, but ISIS won't respond.
There used to be a saying: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
The "me" in this quote, seems to be the entire non-Muslim world....
