Obama Releases Al-Qaeda Terrorist

S. Lindsey's picture

A mere 24 hours ago, Guantanamo Bay detainee Binyam Mohamed landed in England at 8:30 EST - a free man. Mohamed was captured in Pakistan in April, 2002, and has admitted to training at various Al-Qaeda training camps and is alleged to have plotted multiple attacks on American soil.

Included in his laundry list of terrorist activities are:

Training at various Al-Qaeda training camps, where he specialized in firearms and explosives
Being taught by senior Al-Qaeda leaders how to falsify documents
Receiving money by Al-Qaeda leaders to travel to the United States
Tasked by senior Al-Qaeda leaders to blow up high-rise apartment buildings in the United States
Holding meetings with Saif al Adel (a top level al Qaeda planner and leader) and Khalid Sheik Mohammed (9/11 mastermind)

This unprecedented release puts the national security of our country and our allies at SERIOUS risk. Now that Binyam is back in England, British police have proclaimed the unfathomable – that it is “unlikely Mr. Mohamed would be arrested.”

The Bush administration dropped the charges against him in October 2008. Do you expect the United States of America to hold someone with no charges pending against them?

The Bush administration dropped all charges. He was not classified as an enemy combatant when he was released.

You're abandoning one of the founding principles of the United States for the possibility that you might be protecting yourself from a punk from Yemen.

What you're advocating is tyranny by the state.

Why do you suppose the previous administration would fail to charge a known "terrorist" with a crime?

I do care however that OBAMA did release him.. NOT BUSH OR REAGAN or anybody else.. OBAMA did that one all by himself... and I have to ask why? Why all the pandering to the Muslum community.. especially the Fanatical Hamas.. Just how much of our money is going to the Palestinians who voted for Hamas and is controlled by Hamas.. WHY.. Diva you are right it is a good question...

You "don't know" why previous administrations dropped charges against a man. Uninquisitively, you "don't care," yet you have a problem with a person not charged with any wrong doing not being held without charges or cause for an unspecified amount of time? As much as I like your spirit and your tough character, I am so happy that we are on opposite sides of this logic abyss.

Your reply to JeffC makes no sense.

RE: your avatar - Is it meant to be tongue-in-cheek or are you REALLY wanting Palin to run for president, and win, in 2012? If you're serious, then that choice speaks volumes about your political opinions, and not in a positive way, my friend.

Your opinion counts.. Your voice can be heard.. Is it a great Country or what?..
1. Not your friend..
2. My political opinions are just as valued as yours.. meaning they are just like Aholes everyone got one.. and to some are full of it too..
3. My reply was what it was neither poetic or illuminating just a response.. but thank you oh so much for your input..


Submitted by Split Decision on Wed, 02/25/2009 - 9:31pm.

Why are you such a jerk to anyone who dares to have a different opinion than you?

I am a neighbor of yours, but thanks for making it clear we are not friends.

Split.. I don't know you.. We may be neighbors.. so I will say Howdy..and since I do not know you we can not be friends..stop by and introduce yourself then who knows..I use my real name here just like JeffC does.. but your opening shot across my bow.. got my dander up.. I personnally hope not everyone agrees with me.. it would be awful boring here.. JeffC is one example.. I disagree with 90% of his politics, but I respect him as I do Diva, Sniffles, Davids Mom and others.. BUT if you look at my post I never go personal until I am personnally attacked.. I prefer to argue facts, opinions and sometimes just plain old heresay..
But respond I will.. and with glee.. doing so with relish.. This old dog still loves a fight..
Now if we got off on the wrong foot and I mistook your post for something other then friendly.. Then my bad.. I apoligize.. DIVA DON"T FAINT NOW.. But realize in this forum feelings can be hurt I've been called a NAZI for Gods sake.. but I fight on..
SO.. If you are a neighbor stop by.. the Coffee pot is always on.. and I love a good heated discussion..

thanks for the apology, and I apologize for replying to your post. My opening shot was my opinion, one of the things you state you like to argue about, it wasn't a personal attack on you.

We are neighbors, and I stopped by and introduced myself after you moved into the subdivision. Go Bama

Yeah, O.K., considering the season Auburn had last year - go ahead and laugh at me. But I just have to yell - War Damn Eagle!!

It's going to be strange without Tuberville next year. He brought class and dignity to Auburn.

So, expect to hear me use the "it's a rebuilding year" excuse come next fall. Smiling

Since when did Auburn ever have class or dignity?

Always glad to have locals on here.. kjam, cyclist and a couple of others have to keep it together and watch out for each other..
Sorry for the sharp response.. I guess sometimes I tend to shoot first then aim later.. Politically I lean Libertarian.. and I actually like Sarah Palen.. The Media and some Conservatives set out to destroy her.. She is much more politically savy then McCain and many others.. If you really want the info on her..
Sarah DVD
Get the DVD and see the real story..
Anyway stop by again re-intro yourself.. to me it does not matter what side you sit on.. as long as you are engaged.. that is what is important.. see ya..

WOW, just noticed how many of us live in the same place. We need to all get together for a n'bor hood blogging party. I'm always up for a party. I'll even throw it! Who's game?????

All living so close makes for a great n'bor hood watch program! Oh yeah, S Lindsey... your comment earlier about having 1 wife was enough to handle, that's funny Mrs SL said the same thing about you years ago!!!

Smiles and waves to all!

Sounds great. You can bring the crow w/ hot sauce. Sounds yummy! Bet Mrs loves cooking that. We'll talk this weekend & set a date. Glad it's raining, the smoke smell from the "burning neighbor" was getting to me this morning.

Lindsey, I read one of your posts about the hail storm last week where you mentioned that you live near McCurry park. I'm close to you guys too, I'm on County Line. It's nice to know that not every one's from Peachtree City. So, if invited, I'll come to the party and I'll bring the humble pie.

Sounds great. I have already talked to the Lindsey's. I was thinking 2 weekends from now. Would love to get others name, email, numbers to call. Not sure how we are going to do this without posting our personal info on here. Yes, you can bring the humble pie as long as it's chocolate!

Y'all need to make sure you turn on your "contact" option on your citizen account so you can exchange emails privately. Don't make the mistake of offering too much personal info or addresses on here, as there are still some wackos lurking out there. I've met some wonderful folks through this website (yard,hutch,snif,gratefuldoc,hack) and it was all done through the "contact" option and exchanging emails... just be careful...

Kjam...if you meet-up with lindsey, try to pull him away from the Dark Side Eye-wink

Thanks for the info! I think I just turned it on. Saw Lindsey & the Mrs a few ago. Our dogs had a play date! Never updated my citizen account, so it should be good to go now.

I am confident that I can shake things up a bit and pick a variety of topics. Think we need to do a progressive type party. I'll walk the new little pooch we have and see what everyone thinks.

Oh, didn;t I tell you we applied for a zoo license! Just kidding. We got a female shih tzu last weekend. I'll give you details later. Keep waiting for the cats to get used to her. Harley is "ummm, not su much" and Gabby is "what the he!! is that noise maker". They are so funny. I'll call you in a few to see if you both are home & we'll come over for a little visit. I'll even supply the coffee!
