Actually, enemy, or legal, combatant is rather well defined, as are the
protections given to them. Which is why, the Bush administration devised
their new terminology, "unlawful combatant" to avoid those protections.
John, as per usual, is playing fast and loose with his definitions. This

You liberals need to get your heads out of the sand.

His 'protected status' should be in accordance with the protections
accorded prisoners of war.

A woman went to her doctor for advice.

She told him that her husband had developed a penchant for anal sex,

'Do you enjoy it?' The doctor asked. 'Actually, yes, I do. ''Does it
hurt you?' he asked. 'No. I rather like it.' 'Well, then,' the doctor
continued, 'there's no reason that you shouldn't practice anal sex, if
that's what you like, so long as you take care not to get pregnant.'

The woman was mystified. 'What? You can get pregnant from anal sex?'
'Of course, ' the doctor replied. 'Where do you think people like

You sure have been writing a lot about anal sex lately. Is it true
you like receiving it?

Projecting, Harry?

I think Harry is trying go get hooked up. If I could get it up, I

conservative which can do no bad ever. That's John's M.O.


And the broken record continues to play.

Determining whether someone is a lawful combatant is very easy. Use the
definitions of the Geneva Conventions.
