Chief of the U.S. Military: Shut down Guantanamo Bay

Published on 25 May 2009 by admin in General News, In The Media

Admiral Mike Mullen stated it simply, “I’d like to see it shut down.” Mullen believes Guantanamo has significantly damaged the reputation of the United States, even going so far as to say (in other articles) that it has been a powerful recruiting tool for Islamic terrorists. Rand couldn’t agree more. Rand believes America can fight terrorism and maintain its moral integrity without resorting to offshore prison camps, “prolonged detention”, and other, highly questionable legal measures. For Rand, national security and the rule of law go hand in hand. More and more high-ranking military officials are confirming his position.

I think that I have a superior idea for an alternative to Gitmo. Put all the prisoners on one or more UNNAMED retired cruise ships, or retired military vessels, and then launch them to points unspecified. Forever. (With periodic crew rotation, of course.)Then announce to the world that Gitmo is closed, disposition of prisoners is classified for their safety and convenience, and pursuant to the Geneva Convention.

This is crap! islamofacists will always INVENT the next Gitmo. If they are not offended by Gitmo they will be offended by soft serve ice cream. When are these and many other idiots going to understand that LIBERALS in the medica have helped terrorists by TEACHING them how to always be a victim?

Yet, we have the little problem of truth in history. Of all the disgusting and hideous terrorist events...who did them?

Nuff said.

Trey Grayson is a big Romney guy, Cheney endorsed him and endorsed Kay Bailey Hutchinson in the Texas race.

Cheney’s wife supports Romney and Liz Cheney has actually joined the Mitt Romney campaign.

This Kentucky race pits Steve Forbes, Sarah Palin, Concerned Women of America, and Gun Owners of America against the establishment moderates and evidently, the pro Romney Cheneys.

I haven’t kept up with Steve Forbes since I supported him in 2000, but I trust Governor Palin, and if she thinks that Rand Paul is better than the ex-Democrat, that voted for Bill Clinton in 1992 and is considered pretty moderate, then I will accept her study of the situation.

If Palin supports Rand’s stand of ‘let the jihadist go’ then I am back looking for a candidiate.

This is a battle to the death between us and them. Even Jefferson relized that over 200 years ago, so why is it so hard for so many to come to grip with it today. I know what it is even Jefferson isn’t constitutionalist for Paulist!

I think that Palin looked closely at both candidates and made an informed decision on which one would best serve as a Senator from Kentucky.

As I said then I will and can not support Palin in good conscious as I do not believe in SUCICIDE!

Well that was easy, do not support Palin, she is going to get us all killed!

This is quite a powerful thread to have converted you so quickly.

Something with that PAUL family tree?

He’s partly right, shouldn’t detain them, just toss em a bit of pig and shoot em in the ear. Hey, could do like the western about Pancho Villa, where one of the Villa’s Rebels lined up Federales and tried to see how many he could shoot through.

You guys are something else.

Palin endorses and contributes to a nut who was against the war in Iraq and came out in favor of closing Gitmo and you white wash her actions by calling out Romney linked to Grayson?

Comes close to describing every one of them I know!

I’d shut it down too. There would be no need for it. Not unless a new batch came in to be interrogated.

I’d send the current crop to meet their maker. After a fair tribunal of course.

Childish look in the mirror.

I like John Boehner stand:

Boehner: I wouldn’t vote to close Gitmo ‘if you put a gun to my head’

Beside I would never try to out childish a Paulist I am only an amateur Paulist are professionals at it.
