OBAMA APPOINTS WHINING DOVE APPEASER VET TO KEY PENTAGON POST

PHIL CARTER.

A WIMP.

A DUPE.

EVIDENCE:

''Diplomacy is more important than force,'' he said. "Force creates more enemies than it removes. For every one insurgent you kill you create maybe 10 or 20 Iraqis with blood debts against the U.S.''

Carter left the Army after nine years in both active duty and as a reservist with military police and civil affairs units.

In October 2004, when the Pentagon said intelligence indicated that some former Guantánamo detainees had ''returned to the battlefield,'' Carter blamed policy ''blowback'' from a White House decision to ``shred the Geneva Conventions.''

'HAPHAZARD' POLICIES

''It hardly takes an expert to say that the way to win the war on terrorism is not to create more of it,'' he wrote in a commentary published on Slate.com. "But the haphazard, extralegal, credulous policies at Guantánamo have done just that.''

LET'S FISK THIS LIBERAL CRAP:

1 - ''Diplomacy is more important than force,'' he said. ...

• WINSTON CHURCHILL FAMOUSLY SAID DIPLOMACY IS WHAT YOU SAY TO A MAD DOG AS YOU REACH DOWN FOR A ROCK.

• WITHOUT THE THREAT OF CREDIBLE FORCE, DIPLOMACY IS ALMOST ALWAYS WORTHLESS. HITLER KNEW THIS IN THE 10930'S. KIM JONG IL AND IRAN KNOW IT NOW. WRITING HARSHLY WORDED LETTERS AND SANCTIONS ARE WORTHLESS. IN FACT, SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAQ CREATED MORE ENEMIES THAN THE WAR.

BOTTOM-LINE: CARTER IS TOTALLY EFFIN' WRONG.

2 - "Force creates more enemies than it removes. For every one insurgent you kill you create maybe 10 or 20 Iraqis with blood debts against the U.S.''

• IF THIS LITTLE ITTY BIT OF CRAP FROM CARTER WAS TRUE, THEN THE SURGE WOULD HAVE FAILED. IN FACT, THIS IDIOTIC STATEMENT SEEMS TO ARGUE THAT RETALIATING IS ALWAYS MAKES YOUR ENEMY STRINGER. IF THIS WAS TRUE THEN WE WOULD HAVE LOST EVERY WAR WE ACTUALLY WON.

• BOTTOM-LINE: THIS IS MORE IDIOTIC CRAP FROM CARTER.

3 - In October 2004, when the Pentagon said intelligence indicated that some former Guantánamo detainees had ''returned to the battlefield,'' Carter blamed policy ''blowback'' from a White House decision to ``shred the Geneva Conventions.''

• THIS IS INSANE: CARTER BLAMES IT ON BLOWBACK WHEN IN FACT THE PROBLEM IS THESE JIHADIST SCUMBAGS SHOULD HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN RELEASED.

• WHAT IS MORE, IT IS CUSTOMARY TO HOLD ENEMY UNTIL THE END OF HOSTILITIES. RELEASING THIS SCUM FROM GITMO WAS A MISTAKE.

• ADDITIONALLY, AL QAEDA IS NOT A SIGNATORY TO THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS - WHICH ARE A TREATY WHICH GOVERNS ITS SIGNATORIES, AND NOT INTERNATIONAL LAWS WHICH APPLY TO ALL.

• AL QAEDA DOESN'T GIVE OUR CAPTURED ANY RIGHTS, IT IS IMMORAL TO GIVE AL QAEDA WE CAPTURE ANY RIGHTS;

• IT ACTUALLY WEAKENS GENEVA BY SENDING A MESSAGE TO NON-SIGNATORIES THAT THEY GET THE BENEFITSOF THE TREATY WITHOUT ANY OF THE HARDSHIPS WITHOUT HAVING TO AFFORD US ANY OF ITS BENEFITS.

4 - ''It hardly takes an expert to say that the way to win the war on terrorism is not to create more of it,'' he wrote in a commentary published on Slate.com. "But the haphazard, extralegal, credulous policies at Guantánamo have done just that.''

• THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE FOR THIS.

• WHAT CARTER IS SAYING IS JUST IGNORANT CRAP. CARTER MISTAKENLY THINKS THAT THE ENEMY IS REACTING TO OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURE AND DOESN'T HAVE A THOUSAND YEAR OLD PROACTIVE PLAN .. ER UM A PLAN CALLED FOR IN THE KORAN AND NAMED JIHAD. GLOBAL JIHAD.

• THE ENEMY IS KILLING BUDDHISTS IN THAILAND AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GITMO.

• THE ENEMY IS KILLING ZOROASTRIANS AND BAHAI IN IRAN AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GITMO.

• THE ENEMY IS BLOWING UP BUDDHAS IN AFGHANISTAN AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GITMO.

• THE ENEMY IS KILLING SUNNIS IN IRAQ AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GITMO.

• THE ENEMY IS KILLING CHRISTIANS IN THE PHILIPPINES AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GITMO.

• THE ENEMY IS KILLING RUSSIANS IN CHECHNYA AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GITMO.

• THE ENEMY IS KILLING CHINESE ATHEISTS IN WESTERN CHINA AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GITMO.

• THE ENEMY IS KILLING SUNNIS IN PAKISTAN AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GITMO.

AND SO ON.

WHAT'S ALMOST AS BAD AS CARTER'S IDIOTIC LEFTIST CRAP, IS THAT TYPICALLY SENSIBLE HAWK GLENN REYNOLDS SUPPORT HIM.

SHEESH.
