The Gitmo Rebellion.

It's not unusual to see Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Joe Lieberman, (I-Conn.) complaining about President Barack Obama's conduct of the war on terror.

But when they're openly joined by two Democratic senators—with more potentially hovering in the wings—that spells trouble for the administration's agenda.

Interesting analysis from this left leaning publication. If they are reporting it then I guess Obama can huff and puff all he wants, but, any trials are going to be offshore.

Oops! It should be Mother Jones not Mother Earth. I hate it when that happens!

He huffed and puffed about bipartisan cooperation in working for the country didn’t he? Looks like some are taking him at his word but just in the wrong direction.

“...ignoring the fact that many parts of the Constitution protect “persons” or “the accused,” not “citizens.”* (All nine members of the Supreme Court would likely find Sessions’ view unconstitutional.)”
Not in the case of enemy combatants aka terrorists.

We have poured millions into "Club Gitmo" to accomdate these jerks - everything from turning their toilets toward mecca, to ordering in their favorite foods - and the kenyan wants to abandon all that for the sake of a politically correct show trial. But then, isn't EVERYTHING about this pResident SHOWBOATING?

The rest of us are out here wondering where our next mortgage payment is coming from, and "the fool on the hill" is blowing millions on vacations, parties, and showboat posturing.

Nazi pelosi is spending millions using taxpayer funded military aircraft to ferry her and her family & friends back and forth to California. We're gearing up to possible end up on food stamps.

Dirty harry reid is handing out taxpayer money like candy to get votes for a healthcare system that (a) is highly unpopular; (b)will explode our debt; and (c) won't work...and we can't get into the emergency room for illegal aliens wanting free cough syrup for the sniffles.

What is wrong with this picture? I'll tell you what's wrong with it...we're not standing 10-deep at these lawmakers doors yelling "ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!" Everybody is in the "picture", but us...the people; the folks who will be doing the actual PAYING, are not allowed to see the process in which they decide the best way to bilk us and our future generations of a few more billions.

Maybe it's just an insider office party to those folks; maybe the word "billion" is just an "industry term" to them, but it's our very lives, our fortunes, and our descendents fortunes as far as the eye can see...and it needs to stop, and stop NOW.
