"The idea that [Lloyd] Austin would even attempt to fob off a catastrophe like this with mumblings about his surprise amid ineffectual efforts to avert it is absurd."

Says the Editorial Board of the New York Post, in "Plea deal for KSM & other 9/11 terrorists is a final Biden ‘Screw you!’ to America."

Reminder that NY was more red than Florida blue. They’re slow learners, but the Biden Administration is giving them a lesson good and hard.

gilbar বলেছেন...

well, the plead deal saved Joe Biden from having to issue Another pardon.
Biden is opposed to death penalties... isn't he? ISN'T HE?

hawkeyedjb বলেছেন...

“Screw you,” yes, but almost certainly not the final one.

Hold my pudding, says Joe.

tommyesq বলেছেন...

If I were one of the three who didn't get a pardon because they were committing terrorist acts, I'd be pretty pissed right now.

Mr Wibble বলেছেন...

So just execute them anyways. There's no Congress that would impeach the President for giving the order, nor would any jury convict the soldier who carried it out.

Drag them into the courtyard, shoot them, and be done with it.

Skeptical Voter বলেছেন...

Can't say that the New York Post doesn't have it right. The plea deals were pure distilled Joe Biden-- a mix of incompetence, venality and spite.

Susan Escallier got her JD at Ohio State. If only she had gone to Wisconsin!

Dave Begley বলেছেন...

Great idea!

Dave Begley বলেছেন...

We need the names of the military trial lawyers who approved this deal. It was a sneak attack on civilians - killing thousands - and changed the course of history. Explain yourselves!

doctrev বলেছেন...

Outwitted by Joe Biden. I'm not sure I would admit that even if it was true and I was working for him. Anyways, this just underlines why Joe Biden didn't offer a similar commutation for the synagogue massacre. Are some massacres more equal than others? Clearly the Democrats think so.

How about, "The idea that we would have the AA Lloyd Austin in the position of Defense Secretary is so frappin' and f**kin' absurd."

The federal government employed 36K lawyers in 2021. They are layered deep in a massive legal lasagne. Most vote blue, and many are foreign sympathizers.

Would these same military lawyers do a plea deal with Tojo or Hitler? Bin Laden? How does that work? Defense lawyers and KSM laughing their asses off.

Dave Begley বলেছেন...

I really love that idea. Trump sends a special military unit down to Gitmo. It is personally lead by JD Vance and Pete Hegseth. They bust into the jail, drag the terrorists out and execute them in the courtyard on live streaming video.

The world will get the message.

Joe Biden: "There is no justification for violence of any kind."

Yes, this is the same guy who has given $50 billion worth of bullets and guns to Ukraine.

There are many, many justifications for violence of every kind and our leaders need to stop talking in these stupid fucking sound bites. The press need to quit printing these auto-generated AI statements.

RCOCEAN II বলেছেন...

I love how we're all supposed to know who "KSM" is. Could the NY Post be more obsessed with the Middle east and Israel? I don't think so. Frankly, who cares if he's executed. Biden just commuted the death sentences of 37 killers on Federal death row. Just one more thrown on the pile.

Besides, can the USA Government (and supported by its people) EVER do anything in a competent manner? What ever happened to quick and sure punishment? Thats why I always want these mass killers "Shot while trying to escape". Because otherwise they just spend 15 years getting executed, assuming they ever do.

The black guy who did the Christmas parade massacre, still around and living the good life in jail. The Arab Christmas market massacre, still around and living the good life. The black guy in England who killed 5 little girls with a knife, Still around living the good life.

But I'm supposed to rage about KSM for 9-11, which was 23 years ago. Sorry, no can do.

We also need their home addresses.

well he planned trained and executed 3,000 people, the evidence was overwhelming

IamDevo বলেছেন...

We have become so inured to "Biden" (or rather the cabal of Obama leftovers who actually ran-and unfortunately still run- things under his administration) doing evil, anti-American, unconstitutional and frankly tyrannical things that we greet each new bit of effrontery with a shrug or some other expression of impotent anger. I suppose the republicans holding office will do as they have done throughout this nightmare. Nothing.

government is violence >< constitution ask them to justify
so if Joe Biden: "There is no justification for violence of any kind." means FJB don't answer to constitution

Narayanan বলেছেন...

I had always thought that he is guity of other crimes
In 2007, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, told a U.S. military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, that he had killed Pearl. But KSM, as he is widely known, was never formally charged with the crime. Reports at the time said that because KSM had been waterboarded — a form of torture — prosecutors believed his confession might not hold up in court.

earlier reprort was Mayor of NOLA called it terrorism and contact with White House

When I look at that picture of KSM, I think it should have been death by bikini waxing.

john mosby বলেছেন...

In a variation on his Fifth Avenue hypo, Trump could go to Gitmo himself and pull his own trigger, to take full advantage of presidential immunity. Then, as the cherry on top, he can turn to the camera and say “I now pardon myself.”

MAGA majorities for the next 100 years would ensue.

JSM

I recommend the recent episode of the Shawn Ryan Show podcast with guest Sarah Adams, aka "Superbad", a former CIA targeter. Scary stuff.

Austin’s prostate cancer must’ve traveled to his melon. The man’s a fuzzy thinker.

RideSpaceMountain বলেছেন...

Worse. The mayor called it terrorism and at the same press conference the FBI rep said it wasn't. The feds and local govt and law enforcement can't even agree on the same definition at this point.

FBI: Coincidence

Balfegor বলেছেন...

I can well believe Biden and even Austin were out of the loop on what was going on with the plea bargaining until after the fact. Biden has been deliberately cloistered by his staff for obvious reasons, and what we've heard publicly about Austin -- that he disappeared for a medical procedure and no one noticed for days -- suggests that our War Minister was also pretty disengaged.

But that, to me, is the overriding theme of the entire Biden administration: midlevel bureaucrats and staffers got to do pretty much what they wanted without much oversight by the democratically elected President or by senior officials appointed by the President and approved by the democratically elected Senate. It was everything the professional civil service could have dreamed of, and it was, predictably, such a disaster the people voted for more Trump.

Freder Frederson বলেছেন...

I really love that idea. Trump sends a special military unit down to Gitmo. It is personally lead by JD Vance and Pete Hegseth. They bust into the jail, drag the terrorists out and execute them in the courtyard on live streaming video.

What the fuck is wrong with you? Aren't you both an attorney and a state legislator. I guess you don't give a shit about the rule of law.

Remember, Bush fucked this up by authorizing the torture of these defendants. You probably thought that was a good idea.

You are an immoral dumbfuck.

Freder Frederson বলেছেন...

Going to trial would be a nightmare, considering that the use of torture.

Freder Frederson বলেছেন...

If they had fucking tortured them instead of treating them as prisoners of war, they certainly would have to make a plea deal.

Big Mike বলেছেন...

@Freder, you — and the likes of Joe didn, Merrick Garland, Jack Smith, Fani Willis, Letitia James, and Alvin Bragg — are inadvertently reinforcing my view that the so-called “rule of law” is a fiction meant to apply only to Republicans and other normal people. Definitely not to yourselves.

William বলেছেন...

I'm thinking that Trump 47 could make this thing go POUFF on day #1.

I, for one, want to see there executions live so that all of my countrymen can see the elimination of our enemies real time.

The Godfather বলেছেন...

Are the perps at Gitmo now? Suppose we transfer them to a federal prison on the US mainland, by helicopter, and there's an open door on the helicopter . . . .

Oops!

Better to be an immoral dumbfuck than a terrorist sympathizer. Like you.

Careful. That kinda talk will send Freder to his fainting couch again.

John বলেছেন...

War is a state between two countries. Soldiers in uniform have rights as prisoners. A private individual conducting warfare on his own has none of those protections. They should have been executed the moment the government got whatever information they wanted out of them.

Dave Begley বলেছেন...

As a non-uniformed enemy combatant and terrorist, KSM has NO rights.

Wince বলেছেন...

The silver lining is that egregious decisions and actions like this by members of the entrenched bureaucracy are the poster children who will provide the justification of their wholesale purge by Trump.
