for doing what they need to do. At least they aren't planning on going out and attacking another country for it. For instance, a country that had nothing to do with ISIS.

If you listen to the media and many of our democratic politicians, up to and including the President.

Pro-death sentiment on Free Republic is very prevalent, but to see it on DU is very disturbing.

I'm tired of this place being dragged to the right.

So Jordan shouldn't have to give the ISIS prisoners a trial?

This is the kind of shit we saw after 9/11. GOPers used Al Qaeda terror attacks to justify torture and indefinite detention without trial.

Eye for an eye doesn't fucking work.

Anyone in Jordan voting for a war resolution ( if they do it that way, I'm not sure or interested enough to bother to find out) would really suck. Oh and just in case you forgot, it wasn't just GOPers that used Al Qaeda terror attacks to justify torture and indefinite detention without trial. Some democrats were and are right on board with all that shit.
