Reporting from Washington -- The Obama administration is preparing to admit into the United States as many as seven Chinese Muslims who have been imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay in the first release of any of the detainees into this country, according to current and former U.S. officials.

No, he will blame Boosh for agitating them.

He will fall on the old stage excuse, “Did you get a load of how bad that guy was who got on before me? HALFWAY through MY act, they remembered how bad he was and started booing ‘em!!!”

Recall too that Clinton pardoned several Weather Underground members who were convicted of a 1980s bank robbery. He did that on his way out of office. Also pardoned Puerto Rican terrorists.

But we aren’t supposed to believe they are pro-terrorist.

I did think about that, but I’ve never put a post in Breaking News before. I couldn’t figure out how you do it. :~(

More insanity from the 0bamination.

If we thought, even THOUGHT, they belonged at Gitmo, then the last place on the planet they should be released is inside our borders.

Does this ROOKIE, TRAITOROUS administration have ZERO sense?? Oh wait, that’s exactly what they have. ZERO’s sense.

It is so past time to stock up.

Will their reparations be paid in yuan or dollars?

We can't send them back to China. The Chinese government might, ah... waterboard them. Yeah... that's what the Chinese do to terrorists. They waterboard them.

Of course, their waterboarding is a little different. They use guns and bullets instead of water and a board. But it's still applied to the face. So it's basically the same.

Then again, the terrorists might luck out, and get sent to a happy camp, called a laogai. It's much nicer than Guantanamo, because the Chinese, like the rest of the world, are so vastly morally superior to us. Google the word 'laogai' if you're unfamiliar with their resort like accommodations. When you run places like those, it's no wonder that President Obama is bending over backwards to not offend your delicate sensibilities.

Well, we have to be liberal now, apparently. So we have to prove to the world that America is living up to our highest ideals. So we have to close Gitmo and resettle some of them in America, so Obama can brag how liberal we are to the Move on.Org crowd.

In other words, we will see the Chinese detainees again soon as a part of the next ‘Body Worlds” traveling exhibit?

I do not think our country will last until 2012 with these kinds of policies of the “O”.

I think that is exactly what Soetor0bama has in mind.

Great sign! Most of all, it’s great to see CT residents energized these days. Keep up the great work.

Be reasonable. I'm sure these participants from the other side of the "Overseas Contingency Operation" are as loyal to the United States as the former US Senator who wants to bring them here.

Another consideration is that Bush made many mistakes. I doubt that these guys are more likely to be actual terrorists than Obama's close friend and mentor Ayers is. Are they more likely to hate our country than the neosocialist in our White House is?

The way to get the world on our side is to show so much weakness that no one will fear us. Then those who are currently our enemies won't feel a need to be strong either. "Islam" means submission, and once they see that we are ready to sumbit, everyone will be safer. Best of all, as we all submit to Sharia together, think of the time women will save on shopping:

Great sign. It’s a shame ‘terrorists’ is misspelled.

>>>>> And they’re not being repatrioted to their home country because...???????? <<<<<<

Because China wants to try them for terrorism. And some yoyo in our government has been convinced they won’t get a “fair trial.”

That is literally the truth.

Their entire argument regarding their detention at Gitmo was that they were training in Afghanistan to fight (aka terrorize) the Chinese government and not Americans.

But other officials and human rights organizations insist they pose no threat to Americans.

Good. They should adopt them.
