"Stu, riddle me this: If Hitler had entered our country in the beginning of WWII, would we have let him simply leave again?"
Why aren't we seizing and imprisoning this man?"
Because we don't have the troops to support and fend off the uprising this would cause. You would see OUR cities go up in flames,let alone worldwide. Seizing him would be an outright act of war, you'd see Congress and the Senate move immediately to impeach the President (you have to know they'd never sanction or support this), and anyone else involved in the seizure. Then we'd have to fight a war we started with no true leadership or the liberal leadership who would seize power in the vacuum left behind would capitulate, apologize, and it would all be for nothing.
I'm sure there are those in the Administration who would love to do this, but the fallout would be horrific. The State Deaprtment would attempt a coup, because of the legal/political ramifications (sadly), and the libs would have an collective fit and go nuclear on the administration.
No, we have to bide our time.
This nutjob will hand us all the excuses we need to take him out in his own bed, willingly. That speech earned him a smart bomb right down his chimney. He should have a taken a serious lesson from what Saddam's blustering got him, but Middle Easterners tend to be stubborn and pompous.
It's disgraceful that the UN is on our soil, and this kind of speech is allowed and celebrated there. If ANYTHING, this speech nails home that it's high time to let another country host the UN. I appload our administration and that of Isreal for walking out - now, if we could just get them to make that permanent....
However, if you simply made me President for a day, I'd be glad to kill the nutjob, then take the impeachment for the team. :^)
.....It's disgraceful that the UN is on our soil.....
Great post.
However a little more reflection illuminates the facts that New York perhaps the only possible location. New York is in America where there is abundant freedom, even freedom to allow such incidents as that under discussion.
Even though I mentioned earlier that Adminajad was probably arrestable on charges brought by the hostages, I knew that what you posted was the real truth. It is because we can absorb the verbal attacks in our own cities that we are great.
It is a far better course to kill the man than to wound him.
