And still the Cutsey-Poo pictures of Khadr. Why not pictures of him now, as he looks today, plus pictures of the remaining members of his family that are not currently off fighting against Canadaian & American forces.
Show them for exactly who and what they are, and do we want or need this type of hateful people in Canada?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I am sick of the left putting our lives in danger, because of the soft spot in their heads. I want all the left to start wearing signs, " rob me,kill me, rape my wife or kid, it is ok, I understand where you are coming from, I am a leftie"
Having worked in the Fos.Care system, and knowing how it works,Bobby will most likely need a 'respite' home to get the odd wk-end break from wee Omar..I'd suggest the Layton's could step up and fill that void.Wouldn't that also help Olivia's 'helping poor immigrants' file?
By all means, if he is returned to Canada, with the understanding he is to be domiciled with both Taliban Jack Layton and Bob Rae on a rotating basis for five years.
As heard from caller on Rutherford show last week, the CBC will have a new show following Little House on the Prairie called "Welcome Back Kahdr" starring Omar as leader of the sweathogs and Omar's family as the sweathogs. Would definately like to have one of Kadhr's political champions offer to give supervision, shelter and sustenance to this guy and also be FULLY responsible for any and all of his behavior. THANK YOU JEAN CRETIEN, you cretin, for this disgusting situation.

That would be likely considered cruel and unusual punishment, and 5 years is way longer than we hand out in Canada for murder.
Actually a firing squad execution in Gitmo may be more attractive than Joe's proposed sentence. ; )
This Khadr ruckus was something Chretien or Martin had no interest in getting involved in. They ignored him when they were in power.
If they feel he needs to go live with a good Canadian family, are they telling us he needs to be adopted at 22 years of age? Are they finally admitting his old lady and the rest of his family are not fit to take him in? They're admitting they're not a good Canadian family?
But weren't the entire Khadr family, including little Omar, "charity workers" in Afghanistan and Pakistan? Perhaps they should be repatriated by one of those countries.
chretien is the only reason for and of course bears ALL the responsibility for Omar's murder of an American soldier.....IMO there is blood on Chretien's hands..
remember that Chretien had Khadr pere( a known associate of osama bin laden) sprung from prison in Pakistan whereupon he returned to Canada to pick up young Omar in order to return to Pakistan and Afghanistan to indulge in father/son Taliban hijinks....

Absolutely, they should be repariated to Afganistan or Pakistan. Papa Kadhr,an Egyptian, was wounded and under arrest in a Pakistani hospital when the irrepressable, or is that irresponsible, Jean Cretin asked the Pakistani government to release him as he was not a TERRORIST.

Does anyone have a link or screen shot of the photo of Omar posing proudly with a dangling pair of human hands he had just cut off another human being he murdered when he was a punk terrorist gang member?
I heard that the Omar lovers had this expunged from the Internet but it must still exist somewhere.
All good points being raised in the article and in the comments.
One I havent seen raised.
Ulm, wasnt it an overabundance of religon that led this guy down the path. So why the heck does a Mosque have to be involved...maybe he needs to be in a secular environment with no guidance from an Imman to feed his victimhood.
Alternatively, put him in a catholic seminary for a awhile....I am sure he would be a changed man after that, or how about rabbinical school?
He needs to cut all ties, to his family and community....he can only face them once he has had a good long objective examination at what they have done to him. No Mosque, No family.
I like him splitting his time between the Rae, Layton and Duceppe household...although i worry about the latter where Omar would probably start teaching guerilla tactics to the BQ shadow cabinet.
When the Americans say they are done with him, either convicted, charges dropped or found innocent then we Canada can deal with him. Prior to that he can face whatever the Americans come up with.
If the Americans screw up, then he can sue them in US courts. I want nothign to do with this guy, his family or their supporters. We owe him nothing other than a welcome to Canada and stamp on his passport when he comes back to Canada.
No DAMN way should he be repatriated. In fact, his famly should be kicked out as well. If he is returned to Canada, I can guarantee there will be a ticket tape parade with Rae and Layton (and a host of other bleeding hearts) waving and crying about the shame of the of the Canadian government. A few months later, a bus will blow up and Poor, Little Lost Boy will be in the thick of it.
We couldn't- and didn't- do our jobs to thwart and punish terrorists with the bombing of Air India flight 815. We can't repeat ourselves with someone who killed an American soldier.
How long before he gets a welcome home gift basket from a sympathetic mosque?
My advice to the foster family is to avoid all topics that could trigger his disappointment in them. Avoid news items that would displease him, when that fails switch to plastic cutlery and paper cups at meal times. Get rid of all knives, screwdrivers, pencil sharpeners, bic lighters, and poisonous cleaning products in the house. Oh, and, use safety scissors for all art projects. And, it's not his safety I'd be worrying about either.
Au contraire mes amis, Khadr pere was recuperating in a Pakistani prison hospital ward under guard due to some unpleasantness regarding his "charity" work up along the Afghan border when a certain PM from Canada got him sprung and sent on his way to do more good works.
He killed a medic...that's an offense punishable by death under most systems of military justice. While I can appreciate the Yanks' forbearance in not giving this little shit the punishment he richly deserved, it'd have been a lot simpler if they'd just shot him.
We want assurances that Kadr will go straight.
I would only agree to Kadr living with "say hey" Rae if, when Kadr goes AWOL, Rare takes his place in jail. Fair is Fair.
I choose as his foster family, the Canadian military currently "housed" in lovely and tasteful barracks located in affluent, Afghanistan.
Should he do well with the structure and love of this first foster family, then by all means, let him return when they do.
Boob say, my Uncle Mao is welcome to come home to my house.
Brother Omar is fondly welcome, too.

Ignatieff, Layton, Rae, Duceppe and whoever else is proposing that Omar Khadr be repatriated to Canada before the U.S. process for him has been completed are the same political animals who tried to foist the coalition on Canadians.
The allegation is that Khadr killed a U.S. medic.
Why are the coalition wannabes so eager to risk Canadian lives?
ljay, thanks for posting that.
MSM sure as hell wont.
Actually, there's a foot on the other side of the hands, but it seems to be lost in cyberspace.
Anyone else see it?
He was captured on Afghanistan soil, fighting against Afghanistan forces(backed up by the Americans, does nobody remember the Northern Alliance?). He was an illegal combatant from a foreign nation.
Therefore, the moment he hits Canadian soil, he should be shipped to Afghanistan to face Afghani justice.
hehehehehhehehehehehehehehe
VOTE REFORM !
GO ARMY !
BTW, I am too old to engage in vigilante justice, so let's just leave this one up to the Afghani's
welcome back; your dreams were your ticket out; welcome back; to that same old place that you laughed about; well the names have all changed since you hung around; but those dreams have remained and they're turned around; who'd have thought they'd lead ya (who'd have thought they'd lead ya); here where we need ya (here where we need ya); yeah we tease him a lot cause we've got him on the spot, welcome back; welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
The US should release him, just make sure they put the bullet holes they repaired back prior.
What the MSM always forgets to mention that after killing an US medic, it was US troops/medics that saved his life and prevented him from bleeding to death. But of course poor Omar is the victim here.
The same drum beaters for M Arar are now leading the chorus for the return of Khadr. I am particularly disappointed in the NP, who have presented 4 articles in the last 2 days supporting return.
I have a suggestion for the 3 coalition amigos.Choose an opposition day, and have Iggy present the letter as a vote of confidence. Take the question to the people in an election.
The problem with opinion polls is that they never present the background to his case.
The MSM and pollsters do not stress that he is the prime suspect in the killing of US Medic Chris Speer, and the wounding of Sgt. Layne Morris. Morris and Speer's widow have been awarded +$102 M by a Utah civil court, for damages against the estate of Khadr Sr.
Unless you believe the Utah civil court is a kangaroo court, which welcomes coerced evidence, you would have to conclude there is some evidence
against Khadr.
Let the case proceed in a regular US court, Khadr and his crack legal team can abide by the decision.
We need to stop importing these troublemakers and their families in the first place. Chretin will go down in history biggest idiot in Canadian politics.
Adler has a spokesman on from the Islamic Council of Toronto.
What's bizarre about his stance is that he proposes an oversight committee to meet Khadr's needs. Apparently, there are 40 such organizations willing to look after bringing him back into mainstream Canadian society.
Just what Canada needs. A committee of 40 organizations to tell one individual how to run his life.
Must make sense somewhere. Not sure if it does on this planet.
The sad truth is that even if this little creep were tried in Canada and convicted, he would receive double credit for time served, which would amount to 12 years credit, so a sentence of, say 10 years would allow him to immediately be released and the vermin would be back on the street within hours.
That's the wonderful Canadian justice that I'm sure he's looking forward to.
"the coalition wannabes so eager to risk Canadian lives? " -- The coalition wannabes are just looking to score political points against Harper. Unfortunately, most of the public are ill-informed about the Khadar issue, so the "bring him home" mantra just pulls at the heartstrings and makes Harper look "mean", for resisting. It is a typical political dirty trick and has little to do with either what would bring justice in the Khadar case or what would be in the best interests of Canadians.
We closed our facilities of detention and redemption,St. John's Schools. I have not seen the tapes of him planting mines that may have killed US Forces (same location), nor have I heard mention of same from MSM. What is the agenda? People do not want him back. When did the people involved become concerned about rights? Why Omar's rights and not mine or your kids?
I think Omar Khadr should be charged with treason (preferrably adult court) as soon as he sets foot in Canada. He went to Afganistan knowing full well he was fighting against the UN mission of which Canada was a part.
Clearly he was brainwashed by his father, but the fact remains, he knew what he was doing.
Ignorance of the law is no defense and to suggest that young Omar was oblivious of the illegality of what he doing is patently ridiculous. He received military training and was fully prepared to do battle.
I hope he can be rehabilitated, but first he needs to face up to what he's done to his fellow Canadians.
Apologize and serve his time.
"There would be a team around Omar to provide for his schooling, he would be home schooled. An expert in torture would offer any needed counselling. There would be spiritual advisors who would make sure that young Mr. Khadr would be schooled in Islam"

So they're proposing he be homeschooled with a curriculum overseen by a Christian liberal university AND schooled in Islam. What more can I say?
