Hold the Champagne on Military Commissions – It’s a Head Fake

Again, I hope you are right. I am unsure of Big D support for gitmo, but those pleasant vacationers have to end up somewhere, and I can’t imagine many volunteering their district.
Except for the inevitable big payoffs, which many need right now. So folks, “we can either close the schools, lay off all the police and fire departments, or simply take a couple of misunderstood vacationers...”

Gitmo is not a problem for anyone right now. So any “solution” creates problems. In that way, I am hopeful. A little.

I am still holding my breath until this health scare is resolved.
The media is on its heels and frustrated right now, and any kind of a “win” there (any bill) will result in a lot of noise, declarations of momentum, renewed hopeychange, choruses of Kumbaya, The New FDR, etc.
This would give them an opening to pull off some big Saturday Night Stupids.

So I am with the bulldog McCarthy. Just keep hitting.

Once again, the media kingmakers are involved trying to get THEIR agenda enacted.

But.............

You know what this is? The overton window. You want 5 dollars, so you go ask dad for $20 dollars. “WHAT? No son, you can’t have $20. Here is $5”

Obama only “really” wanted Gitmo closed. So he proposed something far, far radical.

Now he and his kingmaker buds over at the WaPo will soften the stance and make it seem like he’s moderating.

BTW, the WaPo kingmakers are helping out a progressive republican here too. Let that be noticed.
