Christian fanatic Mike Huckabee is sounding more and more like George Bush everyday. He is on a mission from God, so was Son of Sam and Adolf Hitler. You can read it for yourself, it is right on Huckabee’s site, mikehuckabee2008.com under the blog page.
I believe that we are currently engaged in a world war. Radical Islamic fascists have declared war on our country and our way of life. They have sworn to annihilate each of us who believe in a free society, all in the name of a perversion of religion and an impersonal god. We go to great extremes to save lives, they go to great extremes to take them. This war is not a conventional war, and these terrorists are not a conventional enemy. We must fight the war on terror with the intensity and single-mindedness that it deserves.
Mike Huckabee has jumped to conclusions without any facts, exactly like George Bush. What Radical Islamist fascists have declared war on us? I thought Bhutto was from Pakistan? It is widely claimed that Bhutto was going to come out with evidence that Musharaff was planning on fixing the upcoming elections. In Pakistan Musharaff is considered Prime suspect #1 in the murder of Bhutto. He has the motive, you usually need a motive to kill someone. Radical Muslims whoever they may be, have a real motive to kill Musharaff rather than Bhutto. That logic seems to escape Mike Huckabee, since he seems to delete any information that does not conform with his world view. Do we really want this guy being in charge of the military? Shoot first and keep shooting to avoid any questions. A good defense is a great offense, while that may be true for football it is a horrible foreign policy, since we are playing with the lives of our American soldiers.
Terrorists if they do exist, do not come from any one nation, they are witout allegiance to a nation state; so by definition you cannot declare war on them because they are not a nation. What would be a sane approach to terrorists? What are they really, they are pirates or criminals like the mob. What would you use that is authorized by the Constitution? Posse Comitatus-
The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 16, 1878 after the end of Reconstruction. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services (Army, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising nominally state law enforcement police or peace officer powers that maintain “law and order” on non-federal property (States, their counties and municipal divisions) in the former Confederate states.
The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the United States National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Coast Guard is exempt from the Posse Comitatus Act. You would form a posse of trained Justices of the Peace or private mercenaries to chase down the criminals without bombing and killing a people who had nothing to do with the terrorist act. Who is promoting this humane and cost effective approach to Terrorism,…Ron Paul.
