Heavenly Bananas and The Observer

Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is Thursday, February 4, 2010. Scotty, our friend the Observer, is still with us. As we speak he is in my guest room muttering to himself. He keeps repeating the words Gitmo, Yemen and stupidity. I am not sure what is on his mind, but I am quite sure he will explain everything once he's eaten a good breakfast. Today he has requested that we prepare a dish called Heavenly Bananas. If you want to join me you will need 1 pint of sour cream, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of orange juice, some granola for garnish, 4 tablespoons grated orange rind and most important of all a bunch of bananas. You will need 1 banana for each tablespoon of sauce. Mix all the ingredients together. Spoon sauce on bananas, sprinkle with granola and enjoy. Be creative and add any additional fruit you might have on hand. Let's all gather around the bananas and listen to what Scotty has to say.

My dear friends, first may I say, I find this breakfast to be quite delectable. Second, I would like to say that you all are going to be put in harm's way if your President and his Attorney General keep behaving like they are and fail to get their heads out of the sand. I must say I am incredulous. On my planet, we assess risk and act accordingly. If we have aliens among us who wish us harm, we neutralize them and keep them away from the general population. In the case of enemy combatants, who we call terrorists, we would never under any circumstances try their sorry behinds in civilian courts. We have a military, just like you, and that is who is responsible for trying them. We too have a facility similar to what you call Gitmo and that is where we send them and that is where they stay, unless of course we execute them.

I simply cannot believe that your President and your Attorney General are hell bent on offering these animals the benefits of your Constitution. From my perspective, it appears as if your President doesn't want to get too much information from these people. In offering them the right to remain silent, he is practically begging them to keep quiet. My friends, you should be very alarmed by his attitude and behavior. Something is terribly, terribly wrong.

I heard your President Obama state that enemy combatants have been sent to American prisons before and that no one has ever escaped. I would like to point out to your leader that these "terrorists" don't actually have to escape because if they are patient your country will release them. Let me give you an example of what I am talking about. Some of your prisoners have converted to radical Islam while serving their sentences. Upon their release from prison, some of them moved to Yemen to "study" Arabic. How touching it is to see former convicts broadening their horizons. But wait, there is more to this story. Once in Yemen some of them disappear for extensive periods of time. It is suspected that they are in al- Qaida training camps located in ungoverned portions of Yemen. When these men went into prison they weren't working for al- Qaida, but by the time of their release they were completely radicalized and ready to raise havoc. You let them out of prison and sent them on their way and now you are like sitting ducks waiting for them to return and kill you.

Having said all of this, let's address the problem of terrorists who are already here and are awaiting trial. They must be tried in this place you call Gitmo and that's that. It is only common sense, after all. Why would your President want to endanger you and your loved ones? Why would your President insist on closing Gitmo? At least in Gitmo no one is being converted to radical Islam because they are already radical Muslims.

One other thing, why in the world is your country releasing these Gitmo prisoners? They should remain in that facility forever, or I promise you, they will be heard from again. You can take that to the bank!

Please, people of America, you must insist that your President obey the rules of common sense and stop treating terrorists like ordiinary criminals. There is nothing ordinary about them. They are prepared to die in the blink of an eye so they can dance with the virgins. They stuff bombs in their underwear and undergo operations to hide weapons in places you could never imagine. It is rumored that they are now using women as human bombs by giving them breast implants with explosives tucked inside. The only way to stop these people is to keep them out of your country and capture and kill them when you can. You have to get serious about this. You have to demand that your country step up to the plate and act responsibly. You have to tell your President Obama that you are fed up with his idiotic pie in the sky attitude. He really needs to wake up and smell the roses before you are all lying on a bed of thorns.

Let him know how you feel and do it now. Time is of the essence...POP...
