[Vision2020] Gitmo: And The Invasion of Pearl Harbor?

[Donovan Arnold]

Chas,
 
Does this sound familiar:
 
"December 7th, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan."
 
It should, because it was said by President Roosevelt.
 
Notice the word attacked. Japan never invaded, it attacked. Just like the Terrorists, terrorist from varies countries in the Middle East. 
 
"Attack on Pearl Harbor" is in Wikipedia, and the encyclopedia. "Invasion of Pearl Harbor" is not. 
 
So, sorry to say, your statement, "Peral (Pearl) Harbor was an invasion, clear and simple.  It isn't arguable, though you will probably try." Is not supported by the existing facts and opinions of those in better know over you and me. 
 
Maybe in your universe, Pearl Harbor was invaded and taken over by the Japanese. But in this one where FDR was President and Congress declared war on Japan, they attacked. 
 
"following brutal rapes by our soldiers" Do you have any evidence of such allegations? Or are you jumping to that conclusions?
 
"We responded by invading a nation that was not involved in the attack.  Since that
time, to use your shameful, morally bankrupt language, hundreds of
thousands of innocent Iraqis have died."
 
I didn't say I supported invading Iraq, did I. I was against the idea even when Tom Hansen, and half the other go along Marxists on this list were gunning for Saddam in place of Bin Laudin.  Further, this has nothing to do with terrorists being detained and having access to civil courts. Many of the innocent deaths which you report, are the cause of Terrorists which we once had in custody but were let go because of terrorist sympathizers and lawyers in this country more concerned for their rights then the survival of the nation. 
 
My argument is, that the rights of the victims, soldiers, and citizens are denied when unlawful combatants and terrorists are released because of US lawyers and terrorist sympathizers fight for their rights over the rights of the people they kill and victimize. 
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

Peral Harbor was an invasion, clear and simple.  It isn't arguable,
though you will probably try.

How does all of this emotive language help your argument?  A group of
terrorists attacked our nation.  We weren't invaded.  We responded by
invading a nation that was not involved in the attack.  Since that
time, to use your shameful, morally bankrupt language, hundreds of
thousands of innocent Iraqis have died.  They have died, women and
children, by having their flesh seared off, in horrific explosions,
from starvation, following brutal rapes by our soldiers, or after
months of hideous torture.  What happened to their rights?  While that
is an emotive, interesting question, it hasn't nothing to do with the
actual subject of this conversation.  You show more concern for
winning an argument than with investigating the truth.  Why is that
exactly, Donovan?
