Handing President Barack Obama a partial victory in his effort to close the Guantanamo Bay prison, House Democrats on Thursday repelled a Republican effort to block transfer of any of the detainees to the U.S.
Instead, by a 224-193 vote, the House stood by a Democratic plan to allow suspected enemy combatants held at the controversial facility in Cuba to be shipped to U.S. soil but only to be prosecuted for their suspected crimes.
The Guantanamo restrictions were attached by House-Senate negotiators on a $42.8 billion homeland security appropriations bill. The measure subsequently passed by a 307-114 vote.

Make 2010 the year that not one RAT gets elected to anything.
Yes, a 'partial victory' for terrorists worldwide. Can he be anymore obvious in his hatred for this country? Can Congress?
Did they think that this was a NATURAL DISASTER as it is now called?





I may be 100% wrong but in a center right country as ours, I believe the Democrats are suffering the death of a thousand cuts. Last night we had two friends over. They worked for (with) me prior to retirement and come over every week for dinner. One, a staunch Democrat, has a very severe case of buyers remorsee. I pray there is a viable Country after these folks are done raping it.
Did Congress just pass a performance bonus for themselves? Is there anybody watching what they are doing with the appropriations bills?
What possibly can this idiot in the White House say to the American people after the next attack on our homeland?
I resign the office of President of the United States is the only thing that will suffice.
His excuse for EVERYTHING:
The way the headline is written made me think it was the pubbies fault. Could be the new meme.
LOL that won’t work because most of America will be muttering I guess George W. Bush was right afterall...
Isn’t that funny yet they will claim no bias in reporting... Only foxnews is biased everyone else is Neutral...
If this is such a good thing why doesn’t the headline read..
Democrats success in bringing terrorists to America for court appearances?
Oh I guess you don’t get the same bang with the reality of the situation....
hmmmm
Trial Lawyers have beeb salivating for years trying to get their “oil money” clients to fork over the loot for their defense.....this is just another support-payback by the Dem’s, as have been the Porkulus, Cash-for-Clunkers, etc., etc.
beeb=”been”
Wait until one of those Trail Lawyers who is collecting 100’s of thousands of dollars in fees from the “accused” winds up the victim of one of those “ass bombs” terrorists now use!
Bush’s fault he made the terrorists hide them there....
LOL
