Here's exactly what Obama said in debates with John McCain:
"And if we have Osama bin Laden in our sights and the Pakistani government is unable or unwilling to take them out, then I think that we have to act and we will take them out. We will kill bin Laden; we will crush Al Qaeda. That has to be our biggest national security priority."
"I understand the difference between tactics & strategy. And the strategic question that the president has to ask is not whether or not we are employing a particular approach in the country once we have made the decision to be there. The question is, was this wise? We have seen Afghanistan deteriorate. We need more troops there. We should end [the Iraq] war responsibly. We should do it in phases. In 16 months we should be able to reduce our combat troops and bolster our efforts in Afghanistan so that we can capture and kill bin Laden and crush al Qaeda."
Before or after he reads him his Miranda rights. LOL.
I agree bring them to justice but NOT here NOT in American courts were they get the FULL rights of an American citizen. This should have been done in the Military court NOT here!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your ill founded insults make you appear ever more ignorant.
Mmmm we are at war with Al Qaeda, he is a leader of Al Qaeda he is our prisoner. He is a prisoner of war. It must be the new math that drives them crazy.

Please advise how this is relevant..
"It's a national security priority"....I can't find the word war. If we capture him we will prosecute him. If he's killed in the process, so be it.

Please refer me to where congress declared war on AQ.
By letting convicted terrorists into the American prison system, we are giving them uber-fertile recuriting grounds for them to spread their ideological filth.
They'll be in Supermax, not regular prison. They're not going to have anyone to recruit there.
This was an act of terrorism not war..There can be no declaration of war against an individual. We were at war with Germany and Japan. We're not at war with KSM.
These are criminal trials not civil trials.
Let's say, just for the sake of discussion that some sort of WMD is employed by some Islamic terrorist groups, one attack kills 200,000 in Boston, and a week later another one in NYC and kills one million, are we at war yet?
I'm just trying to get you to think outside the box here.
With the weapons we have now, it does not take a standing army with a general or national leader to publicliy declare, and then carry a war onto our shores. Our enemies can quietly finance a few hundred people who will gladly commit acts of war for them. Should we not treat these attacks as acts of war, or do we wait for the above examples before we decide we are being attacked by people who are at war with us, or maybe not even then?
Please refer me to where congress declared war on AQ.
Ahh see folks the lefties refuse to believe we are at war with Al Qaeda, I think it is very instructive. But to humor you. When US soldiers were captured in Korea were they POWs? Mmmm yes. Did we ever declare war against Korea Mmmm Nope.
Oh by the way Dear Leader says we are at war with Al Queda.
"The only terminology that Mr. Brennan said the administration is using is that the U.S. is "at war with al Qaeda.""
