The Uighurs. 17 people. Seventeen people. Seventeen nameless people that might be released in the huge land that is America. One of these 17 might give birth to a doctor who’ll discover a cure for cancer. Another child might be the top tennis player in the world. Another might be a firefighter who saves dozens of lives. Or these 17 people just might be lost to death, torture, neglect.

“If only I were President I would…” — I’m sure Obama said that to himself. Now that he is, maybe he should remember the circumstance when he said: when he saw an injustice that can only be solved by someone in power. Now that he is attained the most powerful position in the land, it’s time.

This really is outrageous on the part of Pres. Obama’s part. Saying that the accommodations of these Uighurs is “Not so bad”! They are succumbing to Right-wing fear-mongering and political spin. How does Obama know the accommodations aren’t bad? Has he ever seen it! This really is a hypocritical move on his part…If the accommodations aren’t so bad, then why is he having Gitmo closed, anyhow? Sometimes I don’t recognize the person I voted for.

Regarding how the Uighurs got to Gitmo, they were rounded up by bounty-hunters. There is/was NO evidence they hate America (although who could blame them if they hate it now). They hate China, which they feel is destroying their culture, much like what happened to Tibet. But this bunch of Uighurs, by all honest accounts, is not allied with any separatist groups. And after the bounty hunters sold them to the US, the Bushies floated a cover story (since dis-proved) that they had trained witth Al Qaeda. NOT. There are Uighurs living peaceful lives in Virginia. And several courts, including one dominated by righties, admitted the Uighurs are NO THREAT to America. So why can’t we admit we were wrong and let ‘em go?

Hit you? No Merdad, It is more like just b itch slapping. You are silly and worthless as a potential debate opponent. Still you are great fun in terms of mocking your lame ass attempts at being a relevant parody….

Zooey, you said it better than I ever could. :)

I bet some people would have a completely different take on this if they weren’t lucky enough to be born into the families they were. But they believe that birthright makes them right. They should seek therapy.

From Dick Cheney’s speech;

“9/11 caused everyone to take a serious second look at threats that had been gathering for a while, and enemies whose plans were getting bolder and more sophisticated.”

This kind of begs the question WHY the Bush Administration did NOT take a SERIOUS FIRST LOOK at the threats.

Asleep at the Switch … and Incompetence come to mind.

Merdad:
You haven’t been doing shit all day but making yourself look like an ass. You really need no help. I just like to f uck with you to remind you how much of a loser you really are. I have taken the liberty of exposing others to your rambling bullshit and they too have had a huge laugh. It is so embarassing that someone can be as lame as you. Thank gods you are a fraud. A real person like you would just be too pitiful…

Off topic, but has to be said.

It looks like President Obama is letting this go through the courts, which is a good thing. I don’t want a KING. He inherited a mess and situations like this are without precedent. If it goes through the court it will be law. If he makes all the decisions himself it will be fiat.

He’s just one man. He can’t turn the tide on everything by himself. He said we’ll change America together, and I believe that’s what he meant. I didn’t have strong feelings about him before he became president, but in the short five months that he’s been president I’ve been quite impressed with the man. And I never forget that McCain could be president right now.

How many of you guys who are giving up on him over this contacted your Congressmen over this issue? Wrote an editorial for a local newspaper? Tried to convince people you know to do the same? Tried to school someone who is convinced that they’re all terrorists?

The fact is, most Americans are still convinced that everyone detained at Gitmo is a terrorist. There situation is shameful, and GEORGE W. BUSH put them in that situation. Sad as it is think about Iraq for a moment. The nation of Iraq was destroyed and over a million of their people murdered. They are still living in misery and grief without electricity and clean water being fully restored. Males of “military age” were pulled off the streets, thrown in prison, tortured… Think about Afghanistan. The bill of rights. The economy. There is so much of the BUSHCO mess to be undone.

Oh, and the lying media.

We need to stay on him—yes. But we also need to do our parts as citizens. If the Progressive movement is going to stay and flourish we are going to have to do more than make demands on the president. We need to change our culture. We need patience. And we need to not make every situation THE situation. Nations do change overnight, but that’s usually tramautic.

101
Afghanistan and Pakistan killing are real and are now Oba Oba’s Wars.
Get used to the idea that some people are watching your new ‘dear leader’ pushing and continuing Bush’s policies! And rightfully so criticised by that!
I am not a cheer leader!

For eff’s sake did you even read my response. Yes you are allowed to critisize but if you actually wanted something to happen, here is not the place to fo it. You’re just whining and taking no action. It’s pathetic.

The wars are continuing. There are where they should’ve been in the first place. Would you suggest that we just pull all our troops home and not fix the damage we have caused? If so, I’m afraid you’re even more screwed up then you think we are.

Again, try taking a look at your own country. We might be bad in some regards but those in glass houses as the saying goes.
