Hmmm.....looks like Silvio is taking lessons from the other surrender monkeys in Europe. Interesting that he chose to make this statement to Al-Jazeera.

We've got to consider the source..let's see if he says that to anybody else... Al Jazeera could be misquoting or taking out of context.

He is in the middle of a political campaign, what do you expect in a country about 80% against the Iraq War.

Hard to know why he would say that. Could be the hair dye and hair restoration treatments have sunk in too deep.

If "as swiftly as possible" means "as soon as it's no longer needed", then I'd agree.

The US continues to move away from Europe, this is a very encouraging development. Most of western Europe loathes our country, and in another generation Europe will be so weakened by depopulation that it won't matter to the rest of the world.

I'll agree if we start digging the 500 holes now and fill them soon.

"where episodes have taken place that have been condemend by the whole world"
What "episodes" might he be referring to? The phony "Koran in the toilet" story? Torture allegations from prisoners with ACLU lawyers? I might have missed something, but I don't recall hearing of any documented "episodes" that have taken place in Gitmo to warrant closure.
To: indcons
"As swiftly as possible." That's meaningless. Of course you'd want to shut em down as soon as it becomes a viable option.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan called last week for the closure of Guantanamo "as soon as possible," saying that people could not be held in perpetuity without charges or a chance to defend themselves. Wanna bet? Well, not perpetuity I suppose, just until they die of natural of forced causes.
Hmmm.....looks like Silvio is taking lessons from the other surrender monkeys in Europe.
The article has Tony Blair expressing a similar sentiment in more watered-down terms. "An anomoly that has to be settled."

I would tell him "Thank you for your input but as long as these bas_urds are trying to kill our people we will be holding these folks at Club Gitmo"

How about candidates who are honorable men/women instead of cowardly worms?
