I had an idea yesterday. Put them into zoos, all around the country. Just throw food into their cages once a day. Hose them off once a month.

Food must be pork, every single meal.

"The request is small compared to the overall cost to pay for the wars or the $ 3.6 trillion budget."

Another thing wrong with government spending.

Because Odumba would need to build a new facility or retrofit a military base somewhere to move them too.

I’m half suspicious that the administration encouraged the stripping of the original request behind the scenes and this new request is just more political theater for the foaming at the mouth left because the WH and the smarter dems realize that closing Gitmo is permanent political death if even one former detainee creates a disturbance of any kind on US soil.

If an unemployed Ughar commits armed robbery or gets drunk and shoots up his apartment the proverbial you know what will hit the fan and spray the democrat party with excrement.

I do not think Obama cares about the demokrats political future.

No, but he cares about his and he doesn’t want to get stuck with a “worse than Carter” historical legacy.

He can’t really just release these guys, he can’t really try them in regular courts. He’s afraid of his own rabid left supporters because they are more loyal to their weird America hatred than they are to him, so he’s got this huge problem. Can’t close Gitmo, can’t keep it open. So make empty promises while his toadies in congress pull his “closure” funding and he can shrug and claim he’s trying.
