Now, let me explain this to you. We are not afraid of you or any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been through the fire before. There is too much war talk here and I say that to everyone with the ..You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that reference, to call you a soldier, gives you far too much stature. Whether the officers of government do it, or your attorney does it, or if you think you are a soldier, you are not-----, you are a terrorist. And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We do not meet with terrorists. We do not sign documents with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice.
*I can dream this judge will be our President someday ping*
He made me swoon ;)
Did anyone really say this other than the person who wrote it. We all hope a judge or a President or anyone of any status would say this - sadly if it comes from Facebook it is just another FB meme.

It got very light coverage ten years ago, but the original post is essentially what happened.
Wow, that was powerful. Who appointed this guy?
What an awesome judge. He has it right.
-was wondering the same thing—it was nice to read,and like I said, to “dream” - but not sure if it’s real. So much fake stuff out there...
See post #4. Judge Young is still a sitting judge, and he said what was reported in the original post.
Well you could knock me down with a feather - mostly these things come undocumented and provide no back up for what they say - I normally go to one of the debunking sites but this one sounded so too good to be true!!!
To answer my own question:
He was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1985.
I should have guessed that.
Should have gone to Snopes.com as they have it down as correctly attributed.
Guess who? None other than Ronald Reagan.
I question them too - by instinct. It was nice to have this one confirmed.
Meanwhile our leaders are negotiating with the Taliban on terms to end hostilities. (aka surrendering)
Chief Justice in waiting?
CJ Roberts resign due to health problem......
ping!
Dealing with this as a crime rather than a war act has muddled lots of lines that used to be clear.
After daddy Bush, Clinton, baby Bush, now Obozo...this America has changed so much.
Kudo’s to this judge, we need many more just like him.
Speaking of convicted terrorists, where are all those that were arrested from the 50 broken up terrorist attempts that the NSA saved us from?
Shouldn’t their be a lot of terrorist in prison or on trial for trying to carry out acts of terrorism against us?
A caller to a radio show yesterday made that point, and he is right. If the NSA really did save us from all those terrorist events, were are the terrorists? Obama believes in bragging and criminal trials instead of club Gitmo, so where are the trophies?
