Key point:
"Senate Democrats sought last week to include an initial $50 million in funding for Guantanamo's closure, but they quickly retreated in the face of the Republican outcry.
With few alternatives, some are even echoing the GOP assertion that the state-of-the-art facility should remain open. 'We spent hundreds of millions of dollars building an appropriate facility with all security precautions on Guantanamo to try these cases,' Sen. James Webb (D-Va.) said Sunday on ABC News's 'This Week." Webb added, 'I do not believe they should be tried in the United States.'
McConnell taunted Democrats yesterday for their rapid capitulation on Guantanamo. 'I understand our friends on the other side of the aisle are -- shall I say? -- moving in our direction rapidly.' "
Imagine that!
Camp X Ray will remain OPEN, as well it should be.
The Obamanation's GTMO nonsense is OVER.

It's just another failed attempt to appease and pay back the left-wing whackos for supporting Obama when they thought he'd deliver us from reality.
ReplyDeleteMuch the same as the auto industry bailout, which the Unions thought would pay them back for their support.
And the anti-war crowd which was assured by Obama in his campaign speeches that he would end the war in Iraq right away.
Symbolism over substance, all the way around.
Or, as a friend says, "Hope and Change ain't a business plan."
"Symbolism over substance, all the way around."
ReplyDeleteAll the time.
Running the country is not nearly as easy as the previous 43 presidents made it look, eh Barry?
ReplyDeleteAnd it was obvious to less smitten amongst us that the pollyana gobbledygook he laid on the left to get himself elected was never going to work in reality- a fact that the calculating opportunist Obama likely knew well... back when he was promising them the moon and the stars.

ReplyDeleteWas there ever any doubt among those of us who are never fooled by the Empty Suit Dem politicians?
