White House Praises Congress for Vote on Gitmo Detainees
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 18 October 2009 | John Semmens

Posted on 10/18/2009 5:21:20 PM PDT by John Semmens

Congress’ vote to allow the illegal enemy combatants currently imprisoned at the Guantanamo Bay military base to be moved to the United States was applauded by the White House.

Calling the vote “an important reversal of the hysteria fomented by the Bush Administration,” a White House senior official speaking “off the record,” hailed it as “a crucial first step toward normalizing our relationship with these so-called jihadis.”

The “second step” entails a plan modeled on the foreign exchange student program. “American families will be asked to volunteer to house these former detainees and familiarize them with our culture,” the official said. “Later, they will be returned to their countries of origin as ambassadors for peace.”

“Of course, it is important that both sides participate in this exercise,” he continued. “While we haven’t yet reached an agreement with al-Qaeda, we are taking the names of young Americans who would be willing to spend a year living abroad in one of that organization’s many camps to both learn from them and to teach them the benefits of peaceful interactions with our country.”

The official pronounced himself “very excited with the President’s inspirational and innovative approach toward a new paradigm for easing global tensions.”

Funny John... but I do have a question.
Given:
“The “second step” entails a plan modeled on the foreign exchange student program. “American families will be asked to volunteer to house these former detainees and familiarize them with our culture,” the official said. “Later, they will be returned to their countries of origin as ambassadors for peace.””

and that they have been classified as “enemy combatants,”

and that the text of the third amendment reads as follows:
“No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.”

Would such a situation constitute a third amendment case?
I await your reply & analysis. ;)

It’s apparent that during the 30-35 years you worked with Liberals you weren’t asleep. Your observations are quite accurate each and every satire I read. Thanks for another good chuckle at the expense of the Leftist mindset...such as it is.

He and his wife need to be severely punished for forcing their kids to lie to police and everyone else. How will these children turn out? What the heck has gone on inside that house? They need help right now.

I am alternating between laughter at how well you have lampooned the issue and chills at the thought of how even the more absurd elements that you have detailed could so easily pass into the realm of reality.
