We don’t need to read it word for word to know, quite simply, that is requires the a Nation’s Armed Forces in conflict to give honorable and respectful treatment to uniformed soldiers of the opposing Nation whom are captured in war.
Of course, what the left wing subversives in the democrap party and their comrades in the Socialist Republics of Eurotrash can’t quite get is that it does NOT call for transmogrifying Islamofacist terrorists, thugs, criminals and other lawless, nationless brutes to the status of soldiers of an opposing Nation. These terror mongrels are "illegal combatants" who do NOT merit the rights and protections of the Geneva Convention. To do so legitimizes their terror.
Horrifically, in the modern day world were the liberals pine for a One World Government the application of the GC to bin Laden and his pals and the chance to try W and Rumsfeld and Sharon as war criminals is the ultimate Leninistic utopian dreams.
Our false friends in Germany, Japan, Russia, China and France would care less about the GC if violating it served their purposes. But like their fifth column comrades in the UN and in the States, the Ted Kennedys and Joe Bidens and Dan Rathers, they scream for unilateral adherence by the US to the GC. Too bad the 3000 patriots killed on 911 didn’t have these great statesmen in their corner on that horrific day.
Perhaps a rethinking of the basic military strategy is in order here. One where America’s greatest enemies, the democrat party leadership and the mainstream media (except FOXNews) are neutered while we prosecute this war to its logical end. The fall of the Islamofascists.
Didn’t Lincoln suspend habeas corpus? The precedent is there if only W has the guts.
