when arabs suggest something that makes sense and is correct, why don’t we listen?

It was yesterday or the day before but who’s counting, when I went off the rails and ranted about the WikiLeaks. Don’t get me wrong now. I’d still love to see that Assange creep as well as the fag private in a hole somewhere in the Ca. desert. Preferably buried and alive.  You could say with some justification that I am not a fan of either. Here come the “but.”
I am beginning to wonder if even with all the embarrassment and the problems the leaks will cause, and they already have, I am beginning to wonder if we were done a favor. Unintended to be certain, but perhaps a favor nonetheless.  And that will only depend on the American people of course.

Opening today’s papers and reading more on the subject, I was surprised to find that our country (USA) was actually getting damn good advice from the Arabs. From muslims.  Now it’s true the advice would also serve their own particular interests but so what?  Don’t all countries try their best (ok, not all the time) to look after their own interests?  Sure they do.  Not as much in the west of course what with political correctness and the left running the show. And anyway, if our interests and their interests happen to run together, why not co-operate?

The Arabs who tried to have us see reason were right.  We were wrong. It’s a black and white issue with me.
If you weren’t aware of this before now, some of you might agree.  I know you would because over the past year or more, our regulars have been commenting and suggesting much of what the Arabs have. 

See for yourself.

WikiLeaks: Kuwait wanted Gitmo detainees to be ‘killed in combat’

The Kuwaiti government privately urged the Americans to return Guantánamo detainees to Afghanistan so they could be “killed in combat”.

A leaked diplomatic cable discloses that the Kuwaiti interior minister resisted US pressure for the country to establish a “rehabilitation centre” for terror suspects, saying that they were “rotten” and “the best thing to do is get rid of them”.

The hardline view emerged in a private meeting between US and Kuwaiti officials in February 2009.

During the meeting, the US ambassador suggested that Kuwait follow Saudi Arabia’s example and attempt to rehabilitate terrorist suspects.

Shaykh Jaber al-Khalid Al Sabah, the Kuwaiti interior minister, is said to have replied: “I can talk to you into next week about building a rehabilitation centre, but it won’t happen. We are not Saudi Arabia; we cannot isolate these people in desert camps or anywhere on an island. We cannot compel them to stay. If they are rotten, they are rotten and the best thing to do is get rid of them.

“You picked them up in Afghanistan; you should drop them off in Afghanistan, in the middle of the war zone.”

The officials also discussed the plight of a Kuwaiti suspect who had been returned to Kuwait by the Americans. The cable states: “Kuwait’s record had been tarnished by the example of former GTMO [Guantánamo] detainee al-Ajmi, who’d allegedly blown himself up in Mosul [in Iraq] following his release to the Kuwaiti authorities.”

The UK Government has agreed to pay millions of pounds in compensation to British citizens who were released from Guantánamo.

Kuwaiti officials also advocated allowing drug smugglers caught off the coast to drown. “God wished to punish them for smuggling drugs by drowning them,” the minister said, allegedly “smiling broadly”.

The above remark by the official was in response to the rescue by an American naval vessel of a couple of Iranian drug smugglers.  And he was right. Again.

SOURCE FOR ARABS ARE RIGHT

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
