One reason that the court may have been interested in a slow-mo trial is because they may suspect that under Obama there is no way that true justice will ever be served.
I really hope this is on the list of the FIRST actions President Romney takes in office, once he is elected.
IMMEDIATE and thorough justice for this murdering snake!!
Maybe, but I doubt it. I tend to think that the Armed Services has been slowly politicized to a lessor commonsense civilian standard for years.
One of the things I was proud about while serving in our military (1975-1986) was the quick and mostly righteous judicial system. The UCMJ spelled out the parameters and if a service member didn't meet them, they were hauled before Captain's Mast (Navy for non-judicial punishment) or prosecuted by JAG with no delay. I miss my Navy of yesteryear.
I've lost respect for all our Armed Services general officers, except for the Marines. But I hear they are becoming more PC in their training and promotion of late.
At least the spec ops units are still maintaining the hardcore standards needed to fulfill their missions. Bless the SEALS, Marine Recon, Army Delta/Rangers, and Air Force ground combat controllers. Also thank the Coast Guard for the numerous lives they save every year. It's not a small feat to jump out of a helo into freezing stormy waters to save some dipshit from his ill-fated pleasure cruise.
Forgot to thank the most unacknowledged spec ops group - CIA non-official cover (NOC) agents. When a covert military man dies, he at least gets a military burial. When a CIA NOC agent dies in the line of duty, he only gets a star on a wall. Bad mouth the CIA all you want - I respect what they do. Contrary to popular opinion, they have kept our Country and people safe for decades, even with the occasionally missed event. With all their resources, they can't read minds...so some domestic or foreign dirt bag is going to succeed on occasion.
Also, kudos to the FBI for busting that wannabe jihad bomber of the Federal Reserve. The rank and file of the FBI also work hard to keep ours and THEIR children safe from scum. Yes, they are also politicized, but most are dedicated to our Country. However, I do think the that the FBI and especially local LEO's (especially SWAT teams), should have more strict/often psyche reviews. There are too many who get power mad in law enforcement.
And yes, I realize that the DHS and Justice Department is out of control and corrupt under the Napolitano and Holder watch. Another thread.
End rant.
