Hence why we keep them in Cuba. Did you know some estimates say over 20% of terrorist relaesed from Gitmo, return to the field of battle?

I would too if i was captured by a country without a decent trial and without knowledge of human rights

Its a good thing gitmo is closed, too bad the rest of the world needs to help cleaning your mess. But thats just the kind of foot licking pets we are here in europe

Thumbs up for Haiti aid though!

I say keep Gitmo open.

Closing its going to be pointless as hell, anyway, because it like like at this point there just going to transfer them to a diffrent prison.

Europe should grow some balls though.

Europe is to big and to small. Too many opinions and too much bureaucracy.

We could have won in Nam if the liberals haden't fucked it up so bad. As for Afghanistan, technically, it aint over, and let not forget, that we did take out the Taliban, which was one of our big objectives.

Thats an urban legend, to the best of my knowledge. What did happen that I know of, was before the main attack happened, the destroyer U.S.S. Ward, found and destroyed one of the midget subs that was supposed to take part in the attack. In addition, a radar center, picked up the formation, but thought it was B-17s in from California.

In any case, various hypothetical studies have shown, that the fleet actually took less damage than they would have, if they had been warned about the attack, and taken to sea. Since the ships sunk in shallow water, many where raised, and put back in service, and many of the survivors managed to swim to shore.

The biggest mistake though goes to the Japanese. There intel failed, and not a single American aircraft carrier was in port at the time of the attack (although the Enterprise was a few hours out).
