#1 I guess Mrs. Frenchie is trying wrap up the fringe vote while her husband flounders in the polls. I say we release all the prisoners in Gitmo and give them airfare to Boston. From there Mrs. Frenchie can have her Limoâs pick up the detainees and whisk them to her estate. They can wait there until we decide what to do with them legally. I am sure the Kerryâs know far better how to deal with Jihadis and they will become close friends. How about that Mrs. Kerry, can they live with you?

#2 Can't blame her. She knows her husband's behind and is just playing "ketchup."

#4 While I relish the her frank assessment, I cannot say that motivation was mustered.

#5 Sounds like her Terrorist SympathiesÂ© come in 57 Flavors.

#6 Actually, IIUC, we're giving the Gitmo detainees MOST of the protections POW's would get. However by not declaring them POW's we avoid a requirement to release them on some arbitrary end date to the conflict.

#7 we could easily say that we will release them when the war on terrorists is over, i.e., the 15th of never

#8 If Americans think this through, they will see that treating terrorists like legitimate POW's only encourages soldiers to remove their uniforms and commit war crimes.
As an American soldier, I could dress up as a Syrian soldier and foul up their logistics train without committing a war crime. It is called a ruse. A ruse is fine until I don the garb of a Syrian soldier or civilian and start shooting people. That is a treacherous ruse which is a war crime.
If you treat war criminals and terrorists as if they were POW's that you will face very few soldiers in combat. Jarhead and his buddies have enough problems without follwoing Ms Heinz advice.

#9 I've got an idea. How about Mrs. & Mr. Kerry- Heinz keep their stupid mouths shut. Both of 'em are goofballs. I say treat the prisoners like the trash they are. Feed 'em sausage and eggs every morning. Feed 'em pork chops for supper. Eat or starve to death.

When the first one dies from starvation, butcher a pig, dig a big hole, throw the worthless terrorist's body into the hole along with all the swine guts. Cover the hole up while all the other islamic trash watches.

#10 SH, Heinz is going to be on the jarhead boycott list. I'll buy the shitty no-name walmart brand of ketchup from now on. Typical dumb-shit statement by pampered elitist w/no idea what-so-ever about what's going on. Her husband evidently didn't marry her for her brains. I like DH's idea, Black Jack Pershing did something similar in the Phillipines about a 100 yrs ago. Except I wouldn't waste good eggs on the rag-heads - give'em that powdered tray rat shit they give us w/some powdered milk and that old f*cking shelf-stable bread in luke warm water.
