Yes, that Charlie Daniels. Devil Went Down to Georgia and The Souths Gonna Do It Again. Fiddles and Southern Rock. And one hell of a writer and a man of convictions. Also, a devout Christian. Everything the DU folks hate.
Mr. Daniels takes on the supposed issues at Gitmo, Camp X-Ray. He and his band played 3 shows for the troops, and Mr. Daniels witnessed, from affar, the area where the Islamic detainees are being held, as well as spoke with our troops.
We saw Camp X-Ray,
where the Taliban detainees are being held only from a distance, but I
picked up a lot of what’s going on there from talking with a lot of
different people.The
truth of the matter is that this operation is under a microscope. The
Red Cross has an on site presence there and watches everything that
goes on very closely. The media is not telling you the whole truth
about what’s going on over there. The truth is that these scum bags are
not only being treated humanely, but they are probably better off
healthwise and medically than they’ve ever been in their lives. They
are fed well, able to take showers and receive state of the art medical
care. And have their own Moslem chaplain. I saw several of them in a
field hospital ward where they were being treated in a state of the art
medical facility.
Opinion? No, fact. These Islamofacists are murders and terrorists. They live for killing the Infidel. We coddle them and treat them humanely, yet people complain. FYI, these are the people who were involved, as part of Al Queda, in attacking the United States. Some of the Leftist supporters have complained about them being held, but then they say that the Afghanistan operation was justified. Cannot have it both way. Even to score cheap political points. If we let them go, there is a good chance they will go back to training to kill Americans, and then doing just that.
I
wish that the media and the Red Cross and all the rest of the people
who are so worried about these criminals would realize that this is not
a troop of errant Boy Scouts. These are killers of the worst kind. They
don’t need protection from us, we need protection from them. If you
don’t get anything else out of this soapbox, please try to realize that
when you see news coverage much of the time you’re not getting the
whole story, but an account filtered through a liberal mindset with an
agenda.We
have two fights on our hands, the war against terror and the one
against the loudmouthed lawyers and left wing media who would sap the
strength from the American public by making us believe that we’re
losing the war or doing something wrong in fighting it. Remember these
are the same people who told us that Saddam Hussein’s Republican guard
was going to be an all but invincible enemy and that our smart bombs
and other weapons were not really as good as the military said that
they were.
You tell them, Charlie. Rest of the article here.
