Why do Conservatives pretend like IV.A.6 of the Geneva Convention does not exist?

[SpidermanTuba]

Iraq (Bush the DB is the biggest lib on the planent)

If Bush is the biggest liberal on the planet, that would mean John Kerry is more conservative than Bush. So I assume you voted for Kerry, right?

Why can't you read dipstick?

provided they carry arms openly and respect the laws and customs of war.

You understand what that means right? It means Al queada operatives who are not native of that country and make use of human shields and attack civilians puposefully Don't qualify under six. Get it now idiot.

It couldn't be any more clear. Terrorist attacks against innocent civilians does not at all equate to carrying arms openly and respecting the laws and customs of war. But of course those on the left still persist with their idiotic arguments as if we are the enemy.

What point are you trying to make? That its OK to not follow the Geneva Conventions so long as you say that everyone you caught is a terrorist thug who isn't following the rules of war?

spontaneously.....

there is so much in that paragraph that clearly shows the US has not violated it at all....

tell me, if you whine so much about the US adhering to it, why don't you whine about those fighting us adhering to it? why don't you create threads about beheadings, torture, etc...that are done by those fighting us?

From the Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War:

Article 4

A. Prisoners of war, in the sense of the present Convention, are persons belonging to one of the following categories, who have fallen into the power of the enemy:

6. Inhabitants of a non-occupied territory, who on the approach of the enemy spontaneously take up arms to resist the invading forces, without having had time to form themselves into regular armed units, provided they carry arms openly and respect the laws and customs of war.

?

except.......the people you want covered don't....carry arms openly and respect the laws and customs of war.....

No kidding. They don't carry weapons openly, they lie when they're caught, and they hide behind children and families who are otherwise peaceful.

Maybe we should think before posting blither blather.

I also have another independent theory:

They are assholes.

I call it- the "asshole theory."

No, you retard. The point that's being made is the clause you quoted is irrelevant to your point, as the enemy in this case doesn't carry arms openly or otherwise declare themselves.

Get it yet?

All the hundreds of prisoners that have gone through or at in Gitmo don't carry weapons openly, lie when they're caught (which isn't even against the rules of war you douche), and have hidden behind children and families? Prove it.


Are you carrying weapons openly right now?

 

[SpidermanTuba]

The above constitutes a piss poor proof, but I do appreciate your effort. Thank you, try again.

I don't have to prove it. You're the only person in the civilized world who doesn't know it, retard.

What is the al Quaeda uiniform, dipshit?

 

[michiganFats]

When has the USA taken anyone prisoner who didn't deserve it? If you want to make this point you need to bring some evidence. If you do, then we can have this conversation.

"In the field, al-Qaida operatives worked in small groups that could go unnoticed and do as much damage as possible without compromising the other groups. They have often been compared to a hydra, the creature from Greek mythology that regenerated a new head each time a brave heroic warrior chopped one off. "
Hunting al-Qaida in Iraq

"When al-Qaida struck the United States on Sept. 11, Osama Bin Laden was far away in Afghanistan, safe in a hideout. Others killed and died for him. He hit us, but we couldn't hit him.

When the United States set out to punish Bin Laden, he hid behind the Taliban. Al-Qaida deserted its training camps, leaving U.S. pilots no obvious targets. On video, Bin Laden sat with a rifle and boasted of filling Americans with fear. In reality, he remained underground, leaving Afghan soldiers to kill and die for him. He had hit us, but we couldn't hit him.

Offensively, al-Qaida could hit the United States by targeting civilians rather than taking on the U.S. armed forces. Defensively, al-Qaida leaders could avoid retaliation by concealing their identities or locations. "In the past, we were used to dealing with armies and navies and air forces and ships and guns and tanks and planes," said Rumsfeld. "This adversary is different. It does not have any of those things. It does not have high-value targets that we can go after."

I would rather compare al-queda to a bug, eventually the leviathan will roll a rock over it's dumb ass and squash it.

 

[SpidermanTuba]

I don't have to prove it. You're the only person in the civilized world who doesn't know it, retard.

How do you "know it" without any actual evidence to support it? Because you're Republican overlords told you to know it?

Hello??? I'm still waiting for someone to tell me which country has observed the rules of the Geneva Convention????
