Khadr to Harper: Sorry to disappoint you
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
At first I was astonished that we'd let the little bugger back into the country. After so many years, I now think that maybe we should give him his second chance. He was, after all, only 15 and maybe there is hope for him. I'd like to hear him say, clearly and concisely that he rejects the philosophy he was raised to believe The day he openly apologizes for what he has done and decides to assist us with de-radicalizing some of our youth, then maybe I'll believe that he's really changed.
I am, quite frankly, sick of hearing about him!
JMHO

Looks like you jumped the gun on this one, and judging from your robotic response, you're expecting some bad news.
Sucks to be you I guess
Seeking to continue...... you did get that, right? The Taliban government was the recognized government in Afghanistan at the time of the u.s. lead invasion. They did NOT "ask" for anyone to come in and start shooting things up. So how about you try a different justification. As I said, the government at the time of 9/11 was the Taliban and they would not release BL to the americans because THEY didn't feel that there was proof of the u.s. allegations. Now, if you agree with that, and feel that Khadr should be handed over to the Afghanis for his roll in Afghanistan, then fine. Remember though, it would mean you have given legitimacy to the Afghani governments (not just the puppet regime the americans attempted to install) and will have to concede that the invasion by nato forces was in fact a war crime and all those that participated are war crime criminals and murderers, Are you willing to do that so Khadr can be sentenced by the Afghani's?
Another small fact that the terminally stupid seem to have forgotten in their zeal for revenge, Canada signed onto the UN child soldiers act..... Canada's treatment of Khadr has not, in any way shape or form, been following that commitment. By definition, Khadr was a child soldier.
I'm just disappointed you couldn't prove a Supreme Court judge was an ideologue.
To be fair, that was an incredibly stupid assumption for you to make...even if he was handpicked by Harper.
Well put.
When I was a kid, not much older than Khadr was when he was taken to Afghanistan, I read Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. In it was the the description of the hatred focussed by government and a compliant citisenry on Emmanuel Goldstein, the fictional leader of the Brotherhhod. I thought, at the time, such deliberate scapegoating in a democratic society such as Canada was impossible.

I notice that in all your ramblings, you still can't justify Khadr's 'invasion' of Afghanistan, unless of course, you know of a double-secret invitation that he was given by the terrorists, umm, make that The Taliban (gvt of the day, right?).
Other than that, all of the trash you posted is supposition, your personal opinion (as retarded as it is) and conspiracy theory.
Revenge?... Another small fact?
Maybe in your twisted mind it's 'a fact', to those with a brain, it's you transposing your ideals onto a situation in order to provide even the smallest shred of justification onto a pathetic position.
FYI: Khadr is a coward and terrorist, terrorists do not qualify as child soldiers.... End of story.
... And the Court challenge continues.
Get back to me once the judgement is rendered and then maybe you can speak from a position of knowledge.
Until then, nothing has been finalized, most of all, your desire to brand anyone that thinks differently from you (surely a crime unto itself) as an ideologue
Show me one post I submitted that is incoherent and I'll explain to you. Usually I give Gerry sh*t for stupidity but next to you, Capt. Gerry comes across as a Rhode's scholar!
I wasn't aware of Omar's invasion of Afghanistan! I thought he was just part of a regiment.
Two short sentences each fairly easy to understand if you just struggle with one at a time. This was war. I take it you're thinking Omar exacted all the violence while the rest of the contingent just sat on their a$$ twiddling their thumbs.
This is what happens when you decide to target select components of a comment, take them out of context and follow-up with a broad brush over generalization.... The result is that you look the fool.
All the same, let's dissect your most recent post
Correction: This was a war for one side and a terrorist action from Khadr et al.
Your desire to recognize Khadr as a soldier falls flat as does the suggestion that he was a child soldier... He was an active member of a terrorist movement and that is all
Again, you are wrong... All you are attempting is to justify an untenable position by virtue of being obtuse and a marked misinterpretation of my statements. We are talking about Omar Khadr here, so what his cohorts did is of no value to this discussion whatsoever.

You being the first to shout ideologue when someone disagrees with your opinion. Funny that. Hypocracy knows no bounds in your idealistic little world of hate and revenge.
Correction, when someone invades a country and the citizens fight against the invaders, they are not terrorists, the invading army are the terrorists. Omar was dragged there by his father at the age of 13. When you were thirteen, did you tell your father to take a hike if he told you to do something. He joined the Taliban, which was the official government of the day and therefore was part of the defending forces against the tyranny of an invading force. The Taliban did not invite NATO forces to invade their country. Your statement shows, without a doubt, that you have no fukking idea of the events leading up to or the BS propaganda that justified this illegal invasion.
I thought Omar was a Canadian citizen. The USA has not invaded Canada so by what standard was he a child soldier? He was a terrorist for hire (and admittedly likely pimped out into the role by dear old dad).
Nonsense... In fact, an earlier post you made reeks so much of your hatred and distaste for Harper that the simple notion that he holds a religion is more than enough for you to not only mock him, but to pretend that his faith has anything to do with how he has governed.
It hasn't and you know it, but certainly that doesn't stop you from throwing in that little tidbit and alluding to some kind of quasi-theocracy being in place because of it.
Because of your blind faith (ironic, non?) on what you want to believe as opposed to what is reality, I am very comfortable in referring to you as an ideologue
Khadr is not an Afghan citizen... Never was and never will be.
Don't spout this nonsense about 'protecting the homeland', Khadr, by your own definition, was also an invader so spare me the BS on all fronts, particularly this horse sh*t about being a child or a soldier... He was neither
The important thing now is to let go of the past and look to the future. No one in the world can change the past.
I might just vote for that woman!
Maybe not as big an idiot as some would like to think. Smarter than Harper!
You know, I do not think Khadr should have been convicted.
I think they had little choice but to release him.
But this moron is telling an Islamist terrorist he has more class than the country's leaders.
She is an idiot, a nutbar, and probably the most irritating woman in Canada......or at least in the top ten.
Voting for her would be simply moronic.
