Poor Ole’ Al Queda

I’m really getting fed up with the lawyers and other assorted
bleeding hearts who inundate the television news shows that
are so concerned about the humane treatment of the Taliban prisoners we
are holding at Guantanamo, Cuba.

There seems to be one thing these people are forgetting. These are not
your ordinary cutthroats we’re dealing with here. These are the same
people who secreted hand grenades in their clothes and blew up
themselves and anybody else they could get close to.

This is the same bunch who terrorized helpless Afghanistan citizens,
who beat women with sticks and whose method of execution was a shot in
the back of the head, a hasty hanging from a soccer goal post or to lay
people down on the ground and cut their throats.

This is the scum who harbored the man who was responsible for
the bombing of two of our foreign embassies and the USS Cole,
the destruction of The World Trade Towers, The Pentagon, and the deaths
of thousands of innocent American citizens who did nothing more than
catch an airplane or go to work on September 11.

These are the people who have no compassion and no mercy for
anybody who happens to believe differently. You talk about bigots.
This bunch is dangerous, more dangerous than the sum total of all the
people sitting on death row, more dangerous than any other
group of human beings that I can think of.

And make no mistake about it, they are dedicated, body and soul, to the
destruction of you, your wives and husbands, your babies and your way of
life. They hate everything you stand for.

These people behave like animals, therefore they have to be treated like
animals. Put in cages where they can be watched and monitored twenty
four hours a day, because if they get the slightest opportunity they
would not hesitate to kill as many people as they possibly could,
without even considering what would happen to themselves.

I am certainly not condoning mistreatment of anyone. These prisoners
will be given food and water and a place to sleep which is about all
they had in those holes in the ground in Afghanistan.

You people who are so concerned about them should look at the footage of
the trade towers crashing to the ground and think about how many daddies
will never again sit down at the dinner table with their families, how
many children cry in their sleep, too young to understand why mommy
hasn’t come home.

The bright and productive young people who could have benefitted society
in ways we’ll never know about the terror of the passengers on those
airplanes who knew for certain they were going to die without ever
holding their babies again, without even knowing the reason why.

Think about the misery these people have caused around the world, the
men, women and children who have suffered at the hands of these devils.
The dead bodies, the missing limbs the thousands upon thousands
of interrupted lives, the fear, the anguish, the chaos they have caused.

And you’re worried because they aren’t put up in a four star hotel with
room service and satellite tv?

I’ve got an idea. Why don’t some of you people get together and
take these guys home with you and introduce them to the family? Then
you could treat them anyway you want until they could get their hands on
a butcher knife.

Pray for our troops.

What do you think?

God Bless America
