Guantanamo prisoners to get swine flu vaccine

Even as some Americans await the arrival of their swine flu vaccines, the Pentagon has decided to vaccinate both soldiers and terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

There was no word Wednesday on when the the first vaccines would reach the remote base in southeast Cuba.

But U.S. military there were notified late last week that service members would get their H1N1 virus vaccinations first. Private contractors and sailors' wives and children could get theirs afterward ``as the supply permits.''

And that means the 221 war on terror captives would also be vaccinated first, said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Brook DeWalt, a Guantanamo spokesman.

``They get all the same quality medical care and treatment options that are provided to service members,'' he said by telephone. ``But they don't have to wait for appointments.''

Those nice terrorists get exposed a lot to swine flu as they are kept in isolation under the tropical sun -- and therefore need the vaccine much more than their American dog captors -- for whom the disease has been declared a national emergency by their Big Wee Wee leader, and for whom the vaccine is being rationed.

Guantanamo prisoners to get swine flu vaccine

I don’t understand. What Guantanamo prisoners are they talking about?

Dear Leader promised he would close Guantanamo. So there shouldn’t be any Guantanamo prisoners.

What am I missing here?

Good. Deliver it via filled-cavity hollow points.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Don't think it's a joke.

It would be supremely likely that the Jihadist propaganists will use that fantasy to spew more nonsense, and whip up more anti-American hate among the superstitous, ignorant masses it depends upon to perpetuate itself.
