(Video) Huckabee Against Waterboarding and for Closing Gitmo

Stop The ACLU ^ | 4-Dec-07 | John Stephenson

[Jay777]

MIKE HUCKABEE: I’ve been to Guantanamo, I was there, I guess it’s been about a year and a half ago. I think the problem with Guantanamo is not in that its facilities are inadequate. It’s the symbol that it represents. It’s clearly become a symbol to the rest of the world as a place that has become problematic for us as a nation. I was quite frankly impressed with the quality of the facilities and even the attention to care that was given to the detainees, but that aside, it doesn’t alter that Guantanamo to the rest of the world is a symbol that is not in our best interests to continue pursuing.

BS..it represents a great symbol...unless you're a democrat, terrorist, RINO or traitor.

[Man50D]

It time for a true Conservative, Duncan Hunter.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The symbol it represents is a dead end for terrorists with no hope of a heroic death and years of boredom to come with no hope of freedom.

Obsessively worried about what "the rest of the world" thinks, just like a Democrat. Got news for ya, Huck. If we moved the terrorist prisoners from Gitmo to some remote location here in the States then that place would become a "symbol of oppression" for the idiots. You can't appease either Islamists or Leftists, so don't even try.

This guy’s a RAT.Why is he running in Republican primaries?

[pissant]

No. Let the lib speak. He just sunk his chances.

[Lucas McCain]

Well let’s just turn all the prisoners loose. Give them a puppy or a bunny and let them go home. What a wonderful gesture that would be. Wouldn’t that show the world what caring people we are?

[syriacus]

I have to admit I only caught part of Huckabee's comment about Gitmo when it was on TV because I was cooking dinner.

Anyhow, I didn't hear him name the place(s) he plans on using instead of Gitmo.

Here's how a real conservative handled the critics of Gitmo:

Cooking With Duncan Hunter - Gitmo Menu

[Reagan79]

Because he is probably one of those Southern Republicans who use to be a Democrat, and really still is a rat.

Perhaps Huckabee will elect to set them free and give them a path to citizenship and a scholarship. He is so wrong on this issue. Sheesh.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

hey Huck,

ummm,,, buh bye

[doc1019]

Thanks.

[syriacus]

Huckabee is beginning to remind me of that other guy who grew up in Arkansas -— Wesley Clark.

[gpapa]

Play nice, nice with the terrorists and everything will go away according to Huckabee.
