The formerly released Guantanamo detainees in Uruguay haven taken to complaining–about almost everything.
One of the detainees stated that the government should give all of them welfare, as they have no means of supporting themselves. However, a local union has told the media that it has offered the former detainees work, only to be turned down.
Numerous companies have stepped forward to offer the former prisoners jobs, only to be rebuffed time and again since the detainees first landed in Uruguay two months ago. Political officials, who first welcomed them into the country, are becoming increasingly frustrated, Fox News reports.
In the meantime, life in Uruguay is apparently so miserable that Abu Wa’el, one of the former prisoners, even went on TV to say that he and his comrades have “walked out of a prison to enter another one.”
During their stay, the detainees have so far busied themselves with media appearances. Jihad Diyab, for example, appeared on the Argentine station Radio Madre to demand that Argentina open itself up to accept detainees from Guantanamo.

NPR reports that in response to their demands for welfare, President of Uruguay Pepe Mujica was blunt. After briefly visiting with the men, he took to the radio, saying that the men are, frankly, just weak—from middle-class backgrounds because of their family histories and hands unblemished by hard work. Mujica’s disillusionment with the men has come at a time when State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf is facing flack for maintaining that the best way to fight terrorism is to provide jobs.
The day after the radio appearance, reports surfaced in the Uruguay media that the government is providing 5 of the 6 men passports immediately, with the assumption being that if the detainees don’t like to work, they can simply leave and find another country that will indulge them.
However, local media outlet Busqueda is reporting that an international organization is set to send a large sum of money to the government in Uruguay, so that the detainees don’t have to work.
Who could have predicted this??
that Islamic Job Fair? WIll Obie and Val Cancel !
They should have been executed.
You won’t find one media so-called reporter who will offer this fact up to Marie Harf during any official news conference and ask her to consider it with respect to her prior statements.. Not one whose questions will make it to air-time.
So they ARE terrorists because they don’t have jobs, after all...
Yep.
terrorists = good Commies
When did the Daily Caller start doing satire?
Who would want to be a terrorist if they had a job?
Does Uruguay have midnight basketball games?
Are skittles and Swisher Sweets available..?
And if you just give a terrorist free money so they don't have to work, what do you think they are going to do with all that spare time? Hummmm?
” Who would want to be a terrorist if they had a job?”
OR....
NO terrorist would even want a job.
Here is a job for them
Let them dig their own graves
“Shovel-ready”
I'm sure they would be able to find "work" in Syria, parts of Iraq and/or Lebenon. They do have impressive resumes for some aspiring Islamic Extremist Ventures. Hell the USA validated their killing and terrorizing creds. I wonder what it pays for them?
Oh, wait. These are not the jobs we thought would disincentivise their evil impulses to kill, maim and dismember other humans?

Where do you start on this one? I first laughed then I had the inclination to vomit. How we have mishandled the last six years.
I guess Jihadist work is hard to find these when Uruguay so long.
hmmmm....maybe Obama could dispatch ALL of our welfare cases to Uruguay...
Sounds familiar.....
AND, they’re in effing Uruguay. Just a train ride and a float across the river away.
Islamists are NEVER HAPPY ANYWHERE. They are just a flock of sorry, sick 7th century bastards whose only “joy” in life is to kill all those who do not agree to join them. For me, turnabout is fair play. We should be killing all of them that we can, because there is no vaccine to protect us from them.
Uruguay is the antidote to Argentina. It’s a peaceful and quiet country with beautiful women. I wonder how long it will take these two ne’er-do-wells to screw it up.
