(via The Jawa)

It seems that over time, some conservative stalwarts are going a little wobbly in the knees due to the Old Media’s constant drumbeat of gitmo-abu-ghraib-haditha-gitmo-abu-ghraib-haditha. It’s the left’s favorite hippie drum circle and God only knows why anyone would want to oil up with patchouli and jump in, but some have.

Is it really such an offense that many of us were mildly amused at the weekend suicide of three jihadi warriors at Gitmo? Apparently so.

The confusion between WAR and CRIMINAL JUSTICE continues. As Vinnie deftly points out, this is a war - and not a run-of-the-mill-regular-old-play-by-the-rules war. This is a war where our enemy hides behind their own women and children, then sits back and guffaws as al-Reuters attacks our military for hitting their targets.

But still, some feel that we should treat them like the street thug that takes the old lady’s purse and takes off down the block.

At least we agree on one thing - we should kill them on the battlefield. Unfortunately, that would keep us from gathering valuable intel, but I’m okay with planting them in the ground where they stand, if that will shut the Old Media up about it.

And what of the protection of these jihadis under our constitution? In the words of John McEnroe, you cannot be serious. Dragging these holy warriors through our criminal justice system, instead of using military tribunals, would be another nail in the coffin of our already overstretched “justice” system. Notwithstanding the fact that these are islamic holy warriors bent on our destruction and not (in most cases) U.S. citizens.

Go ahead and read the entire post so you’ll know I’m not taking anything out of context here.

When three jihadis ice themselves, the world is a far better place, no matter how much it “stains” American justice. Likewise, when an entire houseful of Palestinians is blown up while they’re building a bomb, the world is a better place. When a suicide bomber blows himself up a little too early on his way to an Oklahoma football game, the world is a better place.

Instead of feelin’ all down in the mouth, we should say THANK YOU to these three brave jihadis for making the world a better place. Perhaps our gratitude will encourage some of their brothers-in-arms to engage in the same type of protest. If that stains someone’s definition of American justice, so be it.

   TURKEY’S public television TRT, controlled by the Is-lamist-rooted government, has barred the popular Walt Disney cartoon Winnie the Pooh from air because it has a piglet as one of its main heroes, the Turkish press reported today.

   Amen to that. And you’re right–the constant “antiwar” chanting seems to have sunken into too many heads.

2. It’s not a coincidence that some of the same self-anointed Republicati who are wanting to mewl about some of these Guantanotards saving the taxpayers a few dollars are the same ones who are telling us that the Immigration Bill was a good idea and that Harriet Miers would be a terrific (nay the greatest) Supreme Court Justice of all time.

   Whose conscience can be sold for a couple of blog ads? Apparently more than you’d think.

   There may soon come a time when there is a very public breaking of rank as “The Leaders” of the right side of the ’sphere find no one is following them.

3. Some of the trackbacks to the post you and I linked to are quite telling. If you look hard enough.

4. Thanks for asking Vinnie. I am *this far* from “going postal” at my office. No offense intended of course. I have my high-powered rifle and water tower picked out.

   Now I just need just one more person to ask me to drop everything to deal with his/her crisis…

6. I will humbly beg forgiveness if I have interpreted this wrongly, but, in all military actions prior, doesn’t a combatant who is taken, NOT IN THE UNIFORM OF AN OPPOSING FORCE, qualify as a ’spy’?

   And, aren’t spies shot after interrogation a nd a short, military tribunal?

   So? Shoot them as spies!
