A Boston Tea Party …(Hotel Gitmo)

It is getting crazy. The uproar over the handling of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay is growing louder. Everyone is coming to the aid of the prisoners. Close the place down they say. Give these prisoners their legal rights they demand. Who are they? They are the same people we have heard from for the last few years. The folks that have no clue what war is about. The people who want America to fight a war with its two hands tied behind its back.

Each day they talk about a different outrage and it is time they are shouted down. The truth must be told, perspective needs to be gained. Wars have been fought for centuries and if I am correct; I do not recall prisoners of war being released until the war was over. The media and the Democrats want the prisoners of war treated like some common criminal that was picked up shoplifting. Who cares if some of these prisoners rejoin the battle field what is important is that political correctness be available to them. It is so shameful, so disrespectful to country, so embarrassing to previous war vets and enough is enough.

President Bush needs to join the dialogue. He and his spokes people need to respond to the unrealistic statements being made. The American people are hearing these outrages without any perspective of what is really taking place. President Bush, his staff, Republicans in Congress, and the military spokes people all need to counteract what the media is portraying. They must bring balance to what is being said in media reports or risk waning support from the American public for the war.

If the truth at Guatanamo Bay is told, if comparisons are made with how we treat prisoners and how the terrorists cut off heads then the public distrust for the media and the left will continue to grow. I would suggest as more and more time goes by from 9/11, the President must get more active in leading. It should not be the responsibility of right wing talk shows to dispel the incorrect information being written in the media. The President cannot assume joe average public knows the truth, he must tell us the facts. If he leaves it up to the media and Democrats the public will be told Guantanamo should resemble “hotel Gitmo” rather than a military prison.
