Turning rabid dogs into a respectable species

Newly inaugurated President Barack Hussein Obama has initiated the process of weakening counter-jihad measures at the disposal of the U.S.A. Whether or not his executive orders emanate from treachery, gullibility or pressure from Islamists and their useful idiots remains to be seen. Regardless, he has hamstrung those attempting to defend the U.S.A.

As reported yesterday, (www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28788175) jihadis will be granted the same rights as prisoners of war (POWs). This decision disregards the fact that these jihadis and others on the loose have been conducting military operations without wearing a distinguishable uniform. Under the Geneva Convention regarding POWs, anyone engaged in military actions while not in uniform is considered as a spy. Spies are specifically exempted from the protections of the Geneva Convention. Therefore, the Barack Hussein Obama regime has granted jihadis the gift of selectively favorable application of the conventions of war. Now, they have the best of both worlds: greater ease of conducting bombings, assassinations and other forms of covert operations while now having the security of knowing they will be treated as legitimate armed forces' personnel and the protections which accompany that designation. So what will happen to the jihadis held at Guantanamo Bay? Will those released follow the others who have been released to rejoin the jihad? Dick Morris reported in his latest book, Fleeced, that ten percent of the freed jihadis were recaptured or killed while attacking American or allied forces. What horrible acts will the released jihadis commit upon release?

Instead of trying the jihadis in criminal trials or simply releasing them, the Administration should implement of policy of de-Islamization. POWs from Axis Power regimes held by American forces during World War Two attended classes to refute and undermine years of fascist propaganda to which those detainees had been exposed and forced to parrot. After being forced to examine Islamic beliefs and doctrines in an environment other than a mosque or madrassa, some jihadis may question their willingness to kill and destroy for Allah and Mohamad (may he burn in hell forever).

Granted, some of the jihadis have been so thoroughly brainwashed that it would not be humanly possible to enlighten them. We can only hope and demand that those remain imprisoned permanently, if not executed. Turning loose these savages would be as insanely dangerous as releasing rabid dogs from quarantine.
