McCain: bin Laden could face Nuremberg-like justice
CNN.com ^ | 07/25/2008 | Ed Hornick

Posted on 07/25/2008 1:20:18 PM PDT by Glenn

He told CNN's Wolf Blitzer, "We have various options. The Nuremberg Trials are certainly an example of the kind of tribunal that we could move forward with. I don't think we'd have any difficulty in devising an international -- internationally supported mechanism that would mete out justice. There's no problem there."

McCain said it would be a "good thing to reveal to the world the enormity of this guy's crimes, and his intentions, which are still there."

>>>Don’t forget to read him his rights, or we’ll have to let him go.

Now let me see if I have this right...

Its another OJ-style trial... Is Judge Ito available?

Trial... Retrial... Appeals... reversals... remands... more retrials... sentencing...appeals.... remands.... resentencing.... more retrials.... someone screws up.... double-jeopardy... a free man....

By this time, 10 years or more down the line, OBL a free man... gets an immigration judge to proclaim he’s been here long enough to obtain citizenship.... and...

does this mean that OBL could end up living down the block from me???

Nuremburg-like justice? I like “shot while escaping” much better.

“For that reason alone, I say “Shoot the pig-molester until he’s dead.”

Agreed. We don’t need no stinking Hague.

If asked a particular question, yes it would be taken out of context. Do you trust CNN?

Personally, I would rather bint Ladin face American frontier justice: Put together a jury in two hours, hear the case in 8 hours, deliberate for 4 hours, pass sentence in another hour, build the scaffold the next day, rub pig fat on the b@st@rd, hang him from the neck until dead, and leave him hanging until the vultures pick the dog’s carcas clean.

Skin him alive, douse him in flour, heat pig fat to just below the smoke point, pour into ears and eyes, then fry him in 100 gallons of the same.

All a bunch of stupid pap. Osama is already dead. McCain needs to get with the real world and drag his ass out of the lib mentality.

Oh wait....he is one.

“The best possible trial for OBL is to put him in the general population in NYC.”

The libs in NY would give OBL a standing ovation.

Let us count you as a fence sitter, OK? Please be open in the next few months to an alternative viewpoint about McCain.

Hint: It is NOT in support of Obama. But it IS in support of Conservative Values you can be comfortable voting for and not having to puke your guts up afterwards.

>>> But it IS in support of Conservative Values you can be comfortable voting for and not having to puke your guts up afterwards.

First: I am voting for McCain. What other choice do I have.

Second: I am NOT a fence sitter. I am clearly and unambiguously on the side that says: Any way you slice it, McCain’s presidency will be a horror for conservatives, and a horror for the constitution. please quit the McCain-is-really-more-conservative-than-we-think nonesense. He is not conservative. Period.

McCain is good on defense, and little else. He’s not as bad a “moderate” (if you must go that far) as Obama or Clinton, etc. but given his druthers, McCain is far more to the left than anyone who hopes to be seen as a conservative.

And I am sick to death of McCain trying to give it to conservatives up the a** He’s got no respect for our views or most of our values. Yes, he’s on the right side of national defense (except the illegal alien invasion of this country). He’s on the right side of abortion. But what else is he on the right side of.

Can you tell me?

Tax cuts: Flippity-flop.

First Amendment: Thumbs down.

Border security and immigration: Thumbs way down - And forget about the deliberate efforts to deceive conservatives on this issue. We’d like to think he’s being straight with us, but he himself has clearly told us to F*** off, he’s gonna do what he wants.

Global warning: He’s delusional like the libs.

Drilling and nuclear power: He’s saying the right things for the moment, but I don’t trust his word on it.

And so on, and so forth.

But I am going to vote for him on the “lesser of two evils” front. Now, don’t say I said McCain is evil. He’s just so WRONG on so many things that, like I said, I’ll be puking for a while after pulling to lever for him.

And after he’s elected, conservatives will have to spend every waking moment FIGHTING Mccain like heck to keep him from doing too much damage with his friends, the Libs.

If you want to tell me I wrong, fine: BUT please give specific examples and some shred of evidence to support it.

By the way, just what is it I should be mysteriously looking out for over the next few months.

Is McCain going to find some new ways of lying to the conservative base, that will miraculously trick us better than he has been able to so far?

Or will he find some as yet untried method of kicking us in the collective groin?

Justice should come from the barrel of an American warriors rifle. Period.

Correct me if I’m wrong but McCain is against water-boarding Osama.

It’s pretty scary how many people here are abandoning the wisdom of their grandfathers and the Allies at the end of WWII.
