Actually, the entire Khadr clan should be in Guantanamo some are Saying Out Loud

So, Omar Khadr sobs a few sobs, utters a few woes-are-me and we are supposed to demand that Prime Minister Stephen Harper rescue the poor child from Guantanamo Bay? Based on the wailing from the anti-American ...

Based on the wailing from the anti-American left in Canada, don’t be surprised to see the terrorist appointed to the Order of Canada.

Maybe then Dr. Henry Morgentaler will return his award in protest, thereby completing the ludicrous circle.

Omar Khadr is not a child soldier.

He was 15 and decided to follow his father and the rest of Canada’s first family of the jihad to Afghanistan to try to kill soldiers who represent the values of a society that allowed his family to denigrate all that we value, while sucking back taxpayer dollars of those they despise.

He is charged with killing U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer by lobbing a grenade during a battle.

Khadr denies doing this, of course, but the fact he was on the terrorist side of a battle against Canada and her allies should be more than enough to strip him of his citizenship.

We routinely criticize the Canadian judiciary for its leniency in sentencing teens who commit the most atrocious acts on our streets, cognizant that a 15-, 16- and 17-year-old know full well right from wrong.

Yet Khadr is referred to by many as an innocent child soldier who is the victim in this saga.

Wrong.

A child soldier is a nine-year-old in Sierra Leone, pumped full of heroin and handed a machete with which to wreak havoc...
