Part of the good cop, bad cop charade.

I think bring them to the U.S. is a great idea. I would much rather see them on Attu Island then at Club Gitmo.

So in Obama's America, the top chick-appointee at the Pentagon will order congress to enact legislation contrary to both the Constitution and the will of the American people.

And Bush was a "fascist" because people decided not to buy crappy Dixie Chick records.

Pentagon official: US must take Gitmo prisoners

a top Pentagon official

Michele Flournoy is President Barack Obama’s new Pentagon policy chief.

Bullsh!t !!! Don't buy into this being a “Pentagon” proclamation on Gitmo.

Flournoy served as a senior-level political appointee in the Department of Defense during the Clinton administration. She is a supporter of the Democratic Party and donated to the Hillary campaign. She's far from having a non-biased view on this.

When someone like Flourney speaks — just like Leon Pinetta last week for the CIA — they are NOT only speaking as a Agency official. They are speaking on behalf of the Obama Administration so Obama doesn't take a political hit for controversial views..

When the MSM says they don't know Obama’s position on a given topic, that's complete bullsh!t. Just listen to one of his appointed division chiefs — they would not put out their “position” unless it matched Obama’s position.

Michele is about to learn a very hard lesson about congressional independence (from the Executive branch) and internal Senatorial politics.

[SE Mom]

...She says members of Congress need to remember that closing the stigmatized prison in Cuba will mean hard choices for everyone...

Hard choices? HARD CHOICES??? You mean like the hard choices made by Americans who jumped from the burning World Trade Center towers, Ms.Flournoy??? You and your comrades who live in an intellectual world where consequences are theoretical and worthy of further study are a clear threat to the security and safety of the nation.

[cranked]

These type people care more about perception than they do about the safety of America. How much moronic can these people get?

[muawiyah]

Here's a hard choice for that old moonbat ~ they don't go here ~ no way, no how, no kind, and if she can't figure that out she can certainly find a gun somewhere in the Pentagon and just blow her brains out.

End of story.

[Nachum]

Good post.

The list, ping

[freespirited]

OK, Michele, per your request, I just “rethought” the Gitmo issue.

I reached the same conclusion. No detainees on U.S. soil. Keep Gitmo open, it is being unfairly stigmatized. The detainees get better treatment than a lot of people in American prisons.

[Truth29]

Hmmm. When does someone who assists terrorists become a terrorist by definition herself? Ms. Flournoy should think about the label that could be applied to herself. If the Gitmo detainees are housed or released in the US, the first US citizen who is killed directly or through a jihadi attack to get the prisoners released or memorialized, will be a victim of the Obama Administration.

[Buckeye McFrog]

well....looking at the 30 yr. history of Yucca Mountain and the attempt to get anyone to accept nuke waste in their districts, I suspect they will all be meeting Allah before they set foot on US soil. Should be fun to watch though.

[tobyhill]

The Rats made GITMO a political issue instead of the National Security issue it is so they can deal with it and if a single terrorist steps foot on US soil then the Rats will also have to accept the consequences.

[VaBthang4]

She’s not a “Pentagon Official”...

She is a White House Official who works at the Pentagon.

[tobyhill]

If the Constitution is not amended prior to Obama bringing them here then there is a strong likeliness that a Federal Judge would order their release based on Constitutional grounds. Right now, they are still held on foreign soil and for the most part out of reach of our American non-military judicial system.

[denydenydeny]

closing the stigmatized prison in Cuba will mean hard choices for everyone.

"Hard choices" is liberalspeak for "acts that Democratic politicians and bureaucrats like to pat themselves on the back for." Like raising taxes. Actual hard choices, like cutting the size of government, or in this case, sending the detainees to their countries of origin, are not even considered.

[JimRed]

Ship them back by boat. Have them all shackled in place. The boat should then have a catastrophic “accident”, with barely time for the crew to don life vests but no time to release the terrorists.

Rowan Scarborough writing in Human Events 'Soros Invades Pentagon' on April 21, 2009:

Democratic Party financier George Soros, who puts much of the blame for Islamic terrorists on America and former president George W. Bush, can celebrate his first foothold inside the Pentagon.

It is in the person of Rosa Brooks, far-left former Los Angeles Times columnist. She was once counsel to billionaire Soros' Open Societies Institute, whose funding arm bankrolls a number of hard-left pressure groups, such as MoveOn.org. MoveOn.org, of course, is the Washington outfit that smeared Gen. David Petraeus as a betrayer of his country, and depicted Bush in a Web ad as Adolph Hitler.

Brooks, who has also likened Bush to Hitler and claims the former president is "psychotic" and "fanatical," will not be a minor player. The Pentagon's No. 3 official and top policymaker, Undersecretary of Defense Michele Flournoy, has selected Brooks as a "principal adviser."

Congress should know exactly where its advice is coming from; while Flournoy moves her lips, George Soros does the talking.

[Condor51]

Michele Flournoy is President Barack Obama's new Pentagon policy chief. She says members of Congress need to remember that closing the stigmatized prison in Cuba will mean hard choices for everyone. She spoke after Senate Democrats said they won't pay for closure until the administration delivers a satisfactory plan for what to do with the detainees.

I *was* going to post a retort to this drivel but I think it's now a Hate Crime to criticize a woman. And would be a violation of Tile 18 of the US Code to say anything bad about the Kenyan's administration.
