Should we relocate the facility to Delaware?
Biden's a puss. He's got a John Kerry spine - it's made of jello.
Double the size of Gitmo!
Such a tower of strength.
Do none of these senators (the word makes me gag) understand that if we close Gitmo, the Bad Guys win a big one? If we'd had this crowd in 1941-45, half of us would be speaking German now, and the other half, Japanese.
unless, of course, these liberal weenies want to put them up in their own homes...at their own expense...
how does the kennedy compound sound, abdullah? - /sarcasm
Seriously, how can anyone think that closing Gitmo is going to appease the Amerihaters one iota, on the contrary it will only encourage the Islamofasicsts to work with the Amerihaters to weaken the US's resolve.........
as long as the Republicans are in control
as long as GW Bush is President
as long as Dick Cheney is Vice President
closing Gitmo will not make one whiff of difference in the perception of the world in respect to Americans and anyone who believes it will is naive if not retarded
frankly I think Gitmo is a nice reminder to the Islamofasicsts that unlike under Clinton, there are consequences to their actions now.......
boo, we'll sick a puppy wuppy on you....ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHH
As a rookie senator, Martinez should just STFU about this. Especially since he never would have been elected without W's coattails.
The Rs need to tell all weasel Senators in no uncertain terms:
"THE ONLY PROPOSALS WHICH WILL BE ENTERTAINED FOR CHANGING THE STATUS OF GITMO DETAINEES ARE AS FOLLOWS: (1) YOU CAN OFFER TO HAVE YOUR STATE PAY THE COSTS TO ERECT A NEW DETENTION FACILITY IN YOUR HOMETOWN, IN YOUR IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD; (2) YOU CAN PROPOSE TO RELEASE ALL OF THE DETAINEES IN YOUR OWN STATE."
The 'critics' of Gitmo are not morally serious or respectable - they can wail and whine all they want to because they believe that these dangerous terrorists are not their problem - just release them overseas and forget about them. Anyone who really understands a little bit about these issues knows that Joe Biden, Chuck Hagel, et al are pompous preening piffle-heads.
Amen! We've got too many congressmen running loose.
biden-biden and hagle I get. They're shiite heads anyway, but what's the deal with Mel?
I've got a compromise, LOL
how about the US will close Gitmo when Castro closes every single real gulag on his island, esp one just down the road from Gitmo
sounds fair to me huh?
or how about we survey the prisoners in that gulag and give them a choice Castro's camp or Gitmo
I know of someone too: the initials are MSM.
boo hoo, boo hoo, but the rest of the world doesn't like us,
they hate us, they really hate us
sayeth Biden et al
so what, this isn't bloody Prom night, it's life or death
They would be singing a different tune if Queen Hillary was in her third term, and handling things the same way as W.
Biden is throwing a bone to "anti-war" (meaning anti-Bush) Democrats. They are all hollering for Bush's impeachment, so Biden has to do something to placate them.
Closing Guantanamo is vindication for the "Americans are war criminals" crowd. That's enough reason to be against it, in my view. I'm tired of people sabotaging our efforts.
Sure we'll close Gitmo ... and set up camps in Nebraska, Florida, and Delaware. Since the folks being held at Gitmo are more or less harmless, I'm sure those Senator's home states won't mind "hosting" them.
Biden and Hagel can never be trusted where the WOT is concerned. The fact either of these two speak means nothing.
Mel, on the other hand, just showed a previously unknown weakness that will be marked against him. Perhaps we should be grateful to know which Senators cannot stand the heat.
