Herman Cain wants to give the mastermind of 9/11 a get-out-of-jail-free card
We already know pizza mogul Herman Cain is incoherent on social issues, but you'd think he'd know the basic rules of
dealing with terrorists.
BLITZER: Could you imagine if you were president…and there were one American soldier who had been held for years and the demand was al Qaeda or some other terrorist group, “You got to free everyone at Guantanamo Bay” – several hundred prisoners at Guantanamo. Could you see yourself as president authorizing that kind of transfer?
CAIN: I could see myself authorizing that kind of transfer but what I would do is I would make sure that I got all of the information. I got all of the input, considered all of the options. And then, the president has to be the president and make a judgment call. I can make that call if I had to.
One, you don't negotiate with terrorists. Two, see number one. And why? Because Cain just sent marching orders to Al Qaeda and its allies—kidnap an American airman or soldier, and use that prisoner as a bargaining chip.
