Omar claims Trudeau's apology has restored his reputation a bit. I beg to differ you terrorist SOB.

And that is what puts the stinky topping on this whole stinky deal. The whole thing was done in an underhanded deceitfull way from the go, but this is just discracefull. He made a big mistake here, a stupid mistake and it will cost him. There's already a huge degree of outrage about this but the deliberate circumventing of the rights of the two American parties involved shows him to be malicious and a liar(we already knew he was a liar but this just cements that reputation even more firmly). How any decent person can support the manner in which this was done baffles me. It really does look like he cares more for terrorists than for average normal Western people.

Two thoughts: 1. There are many things about Trump that I dislike but this speech says much that I think too. We in the West have a wonderful inheritance; we have every reason to defend it. 2. I read through several comment sections in the US online media. I'm surprised by how many leftist Americans are so naive about world affairs. They seem to hate Trump so much that it blinds them. So, I guess the speech also made a few heads explode, as the kids say. NYT

For the record,Al Qaeda members are instructed to claim they are tortured when captured.At Gitmo most of the detainees gained weight because they were so well fed. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/3614553/This-is-al-Qaeda-Rule-18-You-must-claim-you-were-tortured.html Sleep deprivation is more like an inconvenience.Yes,Canada does deserve some blame for the Khadr situation,but that blame should be because we welcomed them here in the first place.This is what we get when there is no real screening process.Kellie Leitch had it right.

Wow! This guy is something else! You offer him proof, such as I did with a link to an article about the UN resolution and mission to Afghanistan and he just dismisses it out of hand as irrelevant, even though he asked for it himself. Then when asked repeatedly for something as simple as a number he just refuses to supply it and skirts around it. He has to be the worst that I've ever seen on this forum in all the years I've been a member, and I've seen some real doozy's over the years. You were 100% correct on that call.

The irony is that Europe may find its undoing in the very social welfare state(s) and refugee policies it has embraced, not any military threat. The Americans and Canadians still have two powerful allies in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, while Europe has but the tiny Mediterranean and Black seas. While on liberty in southern Europe, I use to think that the pickpockets and street whores were quite the nuisance, but now they have an endearing quality compared to what has followed.

Correct...many Canadians are outraged that their government would reward a terrorist with millions of dollars while CF veterans live homeless in the streets.

You really are a 2 trick pony. "US are terrorists/war criminals" and 9/11 conspiracy. At least you're consistent.

I know that you guys want to gloat about this and about the law, but not one of Omni, Jacee, Hot enough or eyeball has come close to saying "yeah, it's a bad situation, but I guess the law has spoken". Instead, you people are jacked, you're excited for this muslim terrorist. You're not pleased that the law prevailed, you're happy that a terrorist got rewarded for killing an American solider. - it's really kinda sick.

Because the war criminal USians have to be placated or they would hold on to others in the future. It's hard to deal with such evil.

You're calling him a child solider being 15 nearly 16, now you're switching gears to call him a 10YO combatant - Is Omni rubbing off on you - is it hot enough, i cant tell anymore?. You're also very close to admitting that the Liberal Govenment knew what was going on in that family and did nothing. However, if he was 10 when he went to terror school, that means he had 5 years of terror training before being captured. How many years of terror school have most Canadian 15 YO's had?

You're obviously not on the same page. He's a Canadian citizen, which means if he was a soldier, he was a CHILD soldier. And he was tried and convicted in a court the SCOTUS deemed to be illegal. Get with it.

Thanks.

Yes Cap. Its like lice, ticks, flees, vermin. They were put on the planet for some reason. Maybe to test us. Maybe to remind us to wash.

And as a former Crown Prosecutor the opinion(s) carry some weight.

You are describing the entire US of A. Betsy, think for Christ's sakes, the US has been at war for 93% of its years as a nation. It pumps US kids full of hate, full of loving war mongering and then it uses these kids for its evil. It illegally invades sovereign nations, murders millions, murders children, ... . This is no fantasy. It is the absolute truth. You have no clue what went on in Afghanistan, but yet you believe the master liars.

Everything that is wrong in the world can be traced back to the USA. No nation that has been at war for 93% of its years as a "nation" can be called a country/nation. They are nothing more than a rotating band of gangsters.

I had to go looking for a previous article I came across to support the comment I made above. Took me a while to find it. Maybe you've read it, or others similar http://www.nationalobserver.com/2017/07/07/opinion/what-if-omar-khadr-isnt-guilty

Liberals, and of course liberals wont play that card. Have a look around, look at Sweden, Germany and anywhere else in the western world, muslim men rate higher to these people than western women - we see it every day. This is no surprise. Where is the outrage from feminists?

This thread should be renamed "Tin foil hats".

Grow up will you. What you call running away other normal people call having a life and not being glued in troll mode to a forum. You know,going for a ride, entertaining friends, that sort of thing. The sort of thing you obviously don't have a clue about. As for offering irrelevant garbage, here's a clue Sparky. So far I have not seen one single thing of substance or value offered by you, hypocrite much?

My but we have some odd thoughts about NK and the USA. I guess one could say the US is to blame under Clinton, since he sent that peanut farmer to offer millions to NK if they promised to not take that same money and buy nuclear technology with it. So Trump has to clean that up, and he might as well clean Iran's clock as well as they're trying mightily to ride that nuclear dragon. If Iran gets the nukes that were gifted by Obama, I wonder if the MSM will even notice.

Why should we honour a dark legacy? Instead, we should confront it and better ourselves. This is what life should be about.

Angus blows it big time and then disappears for a number of pages until he figures things have blown over. In post ID#339, you made the fatuous statement that the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan were not illegal invasions, offering as your "proof" the nonsense below. Then you fled, Angus Themopyle, piling onto your little scooter and fleeing. I made a very simple request and you not only refuse to answer it, you ran away. Why is that?

I think that Paul Krugman described the US federal government as a tank with good retirement benefits. With the US tank, true, Europe can afford more benefits elsewhere. But America will have Europe's back, and Trump is saying as much. Trump is just pushing the negotiation along. Indeed, like natives in Canada, it may not even be money that is the problem. This is what Kennedy, the darling of America's left, said in his inaugural: "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." Such ideas are sadly missing from modern political discourse. Trump has simply revived them.

They've been making a very simple request, just provide a link or even just the number. Yet, simple as the request may be you refuse to answer it. Why is that?

Yes he was, and will always be a convicted terrroist war criminal. He is an Al Qaeda bomb maker (IEDs). Maybe he should write a book....his supporters in Canada would snap it up. No cross border shopping for Khadr.

First, he wasn't a terrorist. The notion of the world's biggest terrorists calling anyone a terrorist is ludicrous. The phrase 'war on terrorism' should always be used in quotes, cause there can't possibly be a war on terrorism, it's impossible. The reason is it's led by one of the worst terrorist states in the world, in fact it's led by the only state in the world which has been condemned by the highest international authorities for international terrorism, namely the World Court and Security Council, except that the US vetoed the resolution. Noam Chomsky The only country ever to be convicted of international terrorism, the USA. Everybody's worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there's a really easy way: stop participating in it. Noam Chomsky Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a war against terrorism. Noam Chomsky A million Iraqis slaughtered by the US in the 1990s with a planned genocide. They knew and discussed beforehand what the bombing of the Iraq water treatment facilities would do and they went ahead with it.

I've been watching quite a few of these clips lately. I find it both amusing and amazing how Trudeau constantly sets himself up for the big slap down.

Kind of amazing that they guy who wrote the theme music for this. also wrote the theme music for this and then this

Trump and Putin reach an agreement regarding Syria. Maybe the old guy can do some good?

All I can say to that one is - Toto - I'm not in Kansas anymore

President Trump's speech is just another chapter in a book that the EU began writing long ago, all while seeking assurances that the American military would have its back (NATO). The Soviets waned and now the radical Islamists are at the gates. The UK finally had enough and voted to leave by the smallest of margins before Trump was ever elected. Now Merkel has chaos in the streets of Hamburg to clean up before elections in Germany. To all the globalists and leftists like "post national" Justin Trudeau...be careful what you wish for.

No co-incidence he held his speech in Poland instead of the riot-ridden G20-meeting in Germany. The Poles are generally very much in favour of him. Poland and Hungary have become something of black sheep in the EU because of their opposition to the EU-imposed "burden-sharing" meaning placing refugees crossing the Mediterranean. Of course, those EU-imposed schemes are meaningless to begin with as the refugees themselves have no intention whatsoever to stay in countries such as Poland or Hungary as they want to head for Germany, Sweden and especially Britain.

Canada is truly the land of milk and honey isn't it?Apparently it doesn't say much for the vetting process(what vetting process?) for people from that hate-filled part of the world.I keep thinking of the idiotic Liberal phrase,"A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian!".It's all about political correctness,progressive thinking and nothing to do with common sense or right or wrong. It's truly shameful.

Much easier to bomb/invade Canada, which also fought against North Korea in the Korean War. Don't beg Trump or the USA to do anything about the incoming warheads.

Congrats that was completely and absolutely incoherent.

I won't argue about whether Trump is smart or not, I merely note that the US Supreme Court confirmed that the US President has the right (with some limitations) to decide who enters the US. Omni, as John Lennon once asked, Imagine. Imagine a world where anyone could travel wherever they wanted. Live wherever they choose. Pay taxes, or not.

Breathing mercury is what made lighthouse keepers in the past often go mad. To keep the light perfectly level with the horizon they floated their lamp on a pool of liquid mercury...which then vapourized with the heat the lamp produced. Made their brains rot faster than Fox News or Breitbart.
