Life in paradise for Guantanamo Four

They look like ordinary tourists as they stroll along the seafront on the British territory of Bermuda, but these four men are far from regular sunseekers for they have spent the last seven years locked up in Guantanamo Bay.

The former terror suspects are Uighurs - members of China's Muslim Turkic-speaking minority - and hail from a rugged province in the far west of the country.

I just got back last week from a vacation in Bermuda. Guess how much the lowest priced houses are running in Bermuda these days: $650,000 US.

The world is officially upside down. We have arrived in the Twilight Zone.

It looks like water boarding did not deter the terrorists form the ocean.

$650,000 US. if you are a regular person. Free, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer, if you are a Gitmo terrorists. Will they each get their own house or are they going to have to share? Where can I sign up to be a Gitmo terrorist and get a free house in Bermuda?

Why do we keep sending these people to what would be seaside resorts? At least with Guantanamo, there was some semblance of confinement, even though the prisoners often had better accommodations than the troops guarding them.Isn't there anywhere cold and inhospitable where we could send them?
When I saw these photos, I almost thought they were parody, as in Rush Limbaugh's Club Gitmo.

I’m offering a free ice cream cone to the first guy to photoshop a suicide belt on Cousin Achmed there doing a backflop during his tropical vacation.

Obama sends the taxpayer to hell and terrorists to Bermuda. Thanks, Obama! That was the change I was hoping for!

The female FOX reporter offer to shake their hand at a interview and they refused because she was a female. CRUD like that does not deserve my money(taxes). I’m sorry I did not get her name.

That they were sent there should scare every ‘ally’ of the US. They weren’t even sent as prisoners, but released as tourists!

The world has gone insane.

” The latest developments have sparked a rash of jokes with Bermuda’s tourism slogan ‘feel the love’
satirically changed to ‘Bermuda, it don’t GITMO better than this’.”

Are they wearing t shirts with the slogan
Obama Released Me From Gitmo and All The American Taxpayers Gave Me Was This Lousy Vacation In Paradise,
New Clothes, Spending Money,
Scuba Lessons, Ice Cream Cones, Sunset Swims And A Beachfront Cottage..?

While I was in Bermuda last week there were warnings posted at the beach about Portuguese Man o’ War in the area. Portuguese Man o’ War stings can cause extreme pain and sometimes people can have allergic reactions which occasionally causes death. There can be thousands in one area.

Picture Salahidin Abdulahat frolicking in the lovely Bermudian surf when suddenly a horrendous scream emerges from his mouth. Then another and still another. His cohorts rush into the water to see what could possible cause such reaction from their brave Muslim friend. After all, he was tops in training at Camp Tora Bora! Abdulahat emerges out of the water towad his friends. They notice large welts covering his body. Allah is beckoned over and over. An ambulance is summoned and he is quickly brought to the hospital.

A short time later a call is received at the State Dept. from a very pissed off CAIR representative. He wants to know how in the hell the US government could be so inconsiderate as to allow Abdulahat to be relocated to such an infernal place as Bermuda with these Devil fish. Perhaps the CIA is behind it!!!

A short time later the four are relocated to their next choice of locale. And the $5 million Abdulahat receives from the US taxpayer is put to good use.

****************************************************************************

Sorry, I was bored. There is absolutely nothing...NOTHING, that will surprise me about our government anymore. The more idiotic the idea the faster these schmucks will enact it.
