So is he trying to get a job with Osama Barrack or the Hildebeast?

[Jim Robinson]

Or manager of the Ron Paul campaign.

[dforest]

Okay, shut it down, do not bring them back here, let them go.

The US has not the leadership or gumption left to fight and win.

Save us, at least, having to pay for trials and the fear of having these animals in our midst.

[Rennes Templar]

One has to admit, this has been a PR victory for the the bleeding heart MSM and their European allies.

[barryg]

Wow , I am surprised. This makes Huckabee look good.

[EyeGuy]

That’s right, let US policy be dictated by that tiny sliver of the world’s population represented by the Socialist/gay media.

Brilliant leadership.

[Earthdweller]

You got that right.

[reasonisfaith]

Wrong. It makes Mullen look bad.

Bringing them to the US does not mean they will have any more rights than they do at Gitmo. Gitmo is US soil and US laws apply there just as much as they would at a military base here. The Supreme Court already ruled that Gitmo detainees are protected by the Geneva Convention despite not being real soldiers or representing any signatory to the convention. Keeping detainees in Gitmo does not in any way keep them out of the reach of the US legal system, and bringing them here does not mean they would get trials. Therefore Gitmo serves no real purpose. It’s purely symbolic.

[reasonisfaith]

Huckabee looks worse every day.

[Gritty]

So, now the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is worried about our "image" abroad? Who does he think is promoting that image other than our sworn enemies and their allies?

With this kind of PC thinking coming from the top, our goose is cooked in this war.

Cooked.

[Rb ver. 2.0]

How about the Admiral pay attention to Naval matters and let the elected officials sort out the Nation’s “image”?

[Tlaloc]

Everybody is always saying that the military commanders in the field should make the decisions on how to run the war. They’re right! The only thing keeping CLUB GITMO open is politics.

[mathurine]

Bring back a real officer: General Peter Pace, USMC. Pitch that swab jockey off the poop-deck.

[Radix]

They ought to be making the place bigger.

[Reagan Man]

So Adm. Mike Mullen is a Huckabee man. LOL

[razorback-bert]

Therefore Gitmo serves no real purpose.

Its' placement makes rescue attempts very hard.

[Reagan Man]

Adm. Mullen is a desk jockey.

He’s not a field commander.

[dforest]

Uh, did it ever occur to you that many of us DO NOT want battlefield terrorists brought on to US soil?

Bet you do not even care.

Elect MIkey. He will set them free and probably give them amnesty to boot!

You make me sick. Go join the Democrats.
