Oh ChipD, you are a chip off the ol’ pile:
In your concern for “abandoning the Geneva Convention”, have you concern for who it was that first abandoned said Geneva Conventions?
So, Listen Up. for I will add, for the sake of clarity, that it, now and forever shall be further mentioned, as The Rules of the Geneva Conventions.
And those Rules</b state quite clearly, that those nations who engage in warfare against (an)other nation(s) must wearthat nations uniform, and bear that nations insignia, in order to qualify for those prisoner protections provided to those soldiers whose nations abide by the Rules of the Geneva Conventions.
And now why would that be? To whom would those protections apply?
Those protections, apply to those soldiers who wear the uniform of their nation, and bear that nations insignia, so that Those Soldiers would be protected under those rules, as would all soldiers whose country’s abide by and respected the Rules of the Geneva Convention.
So, it (the it in this case being the Rules of the Geneva Convention, remember those?) exists to protect those soldiers, no matter who “started it”. It being whatever “war” it is in question.
So, Khalid Sheikh Mohamed and co. not only do not qualify under the Rules of the Geneva Convention, THEY HAVE WILLFULLY, AND PURPOSELY DISQUALIFIED THEMSELVES UNDER THE RULES OF THE GENEVA CONVENTION.
So the Rules of The Geneva Convention have not been abandoned, now have they ChipD? No. and Not by U.S.
And you talk of Strawmen? Shame on you. Shame on you.
Shame on you.
To abuse the Rules of the Geneva Convention the way you do makes a mockery of them and everything else dear in this world in ways you could scarcely even imagine, and in doing so imperils them and throws them and all else that evolved from the application of the mind and reason G-d gave us to the very flames of chaos and disorder in precisely the means and the method that these enemies of humanity fully intended all along. thanks Chip.
and to abuse the Rules of the Geneva Convention as you and others do, is nothing short of suicidal, again, in ways you and others have neither the imagination, nor the logic to perceive.
You and your ilk are just as dangerous as they are.
we go through this time and time again, we with the logic, and reason and You, with the megaphone, the blathering and the bloviating that destroys the very thing it is you invoke.
So, could you and the ‘others’ sho’nuff do us all a favor and show just maybe enough respect to put on the uniform and insignia of whoever or whatever it is you are fighting for?
