So, what’s the deal? Become a terrorist, get an all-expense paid tour of beautiful tropical islands? If al Qai’da is having trouble recruiting, this should jattract thousands.

Oh man, I cannot afford a trip to Bermuda!
I wonder if these guys will set up a moped franchise.

Holder and his terrorist butt-kissing snakes in DOJ moved quick when the Chinese govt started making demands for justice. Hopefully Chinese intelligence teams can travel to Bermuda to ensure the well being of these Chinese youths..
Law abiding citizens here in WNY get over 100” of snow. Terrorists get the caribbean.
Well, I suppose it’s a good primer for a much warmer place they’ll end up in. Much warmer.
“So, what’s the deal?”
The way I’m reading it, we went around the British Government.
Or the Brits are pretending so.
Pay off for a photo-op with the O-Messiah.
No vacation in Burmuda. Of course, you know the terrorists will be right back in America; compliments of our no border policy.
First Palau, now Bermuda? So in addition to trying to destroy America, freedom and capitalism, Obama is also trying to destroy prime scuba diving locations? This is getting ridiculous.
Clinton gave back Elian Gonzalez. Why can we not give back these Uighurs to China! They can take care of their own citizens!
