It’s just so very sad that there are people like this (several hundred of them by my count) “leading” our country. But it’s even sadder that there are millions of dimwits out there who elect them.

frances,

A friendly word of advice. Showing up here to repeat Republican talking points will earn you zero respect for your views. We have heard all those same things that you are regurgitating, and they are just as meaningless and pointless now as they were then.

But, it’s a free country, one where the government cannot suppress your free speech but a privately-run blog can. If you persist in posting vacuous statements void of any intellectual foundation, you will find your posts torn apart by the very intelligent, very knowledgeable people who post here regularly. And I’m not referring to myself.

Wow. You really are stupid arent you? The Pentagon declared they were non combatant YEARS ago. Is it your contention that BESIDES continuing to keep them in prison we should continue to abuse them just to let everyone know we have no decency? Go hide under your mommys bed you punkass coward and let the adults take care of reality. You have no understanding of it anyway.

A couple of things about the Uighurs.

…apparently they were picked up at an al Qaeda training camp

Apparently? Sources, please.

backup Says:

Additionally, the Uighurs have said their treatment at Gitmo was good.

Except for the time when we invited a Chinese delegation over to Gitmo to torture them. Oh, I’m sorry, were you assuming things? Did I mess with your little “assuming things” party? My sincerest apologies, please do go on.

backup Says:

They describe their treatment at Gitmo as better than their treatment in China.

“The republican Party – at least we’re not quite as bad as the way China treats their dissidents!” Yeah, good luck with that one next election.

MapleStreet Says:

Of course, this may give a path forward. We could probably negotiate with Cuba that they would get the multimillion dollar cabanas at Gitmo if they would let the prisoners live there.

I’ve been thinking, the easiest way to close Gitmo would be to clear the land mines, pull all of the U.S. military out, and then send Castro a letter saying “come and get it!” Cuba would treat the detainees like heros, and they wouldn’t be able to get into any trouble, since they’d have about as much of a hard time leaving.

Is frances a repeat troll or a new one?Some of you are good at figuring that out.

I can’t remember when I last saw a “new” troll. I just assume it’s another incarnation of the same two, or three, twisted children.

why don’t you look at the Uighers— they are very healthy happy people. They must have been well-taken care of for sure. They sure don’t look like they missed a meal.

The Uighers said that the only time they were scared at GTMO was when the Chinese came to interrogate them, not the Americans. But now they will probably have their own reality show on ABC. The new White House station.

I watched “Joe Wilson’s War” last night and backup, your comment reminded me of that. Do you see the connection, backup?

Well, the Chinese just kill Uighurs, so saying their treatment was better at Gitmo just means they weren’t killed there.

“Welcome to GITMO! We don’t torture as much as China does!”

Nope, that still won’t bring more tourism.

You think? Thats not a crime, its a crime to accuse somebody of something and then lock them up for it.

You think is reason enough to lock someone up?
George Will Jr. better hope he never comes across a crooked District Attorny with political ambitions.
Now it’s time to ignore b-cup. like I usually do.
But this rubs me the wrong way.

OK, a few years back, the repubs called Gitmo a tropical paradise. And now we know how false that was.

So now, why are they claiming this luxury resort at Gitmo, complete with individual cabanas, etc ?

Of course, this may give a path forward. We could probably negotiate with Cuba that they would get the multimillion dollar cabanas at Gitmo if they would let the prisoners live there.

What do you think ?
