GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — Some prisoners at Guantanamo Bay will soon have a new, larger soccer field to help keep them occupied during their indefinite detention.

Obama has been ADAMANT about going through with cuts to our defense, putting soldiers out of work. How many soldiers could be employed for $750,000?

I really believe we have to fire this clown in November.

[SoFloFreeper]

See, this is where a “reverse earmark” from Congress might be a good thing. Something like “before any American loses his or her military job due to budget cuts, all planned improvements to prisoner accomodations will be canceled.”

Another issue not reported by the Lame Stream Media.

$750,000 for treasonous improvements. Just soooo wrong for so many reasons.

Winning the hearts and minds of terrorists /S

I like the addition of night lighting, for night games. / sarc

and America takes another one in the........

[tobyhill]

A whole 23 sources?

Calling Obama a Communist gets 5,000 sources easily.

[Never on my watch]

Muslims like to execute women on soccer fields. Just sayin’...

Baraq Hussein mohammed 0bama has to take care of his muzzie peeps!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Shame.

Solyndra really could’ve used that money to throw a party.

[kenmcg]

The selling out of America.........pure insanity..........time to impeach.......
At a time when the economy is in the pits, reducing the size of the armed forces, unemployment at 9%, cutting health care for veterans, gas at $5.00 a gallon.......yet we have nothing else to do but buy a soccer field for Al-Qaeda killers. When will America wake up? God help us.

[ogen hal]

I would agree with this expenditure if the moozlums could only play soccer by kicking korans around.

[SECURE AMERICA]

Why not be a terrorist?
You live in a shithole, have no job, no money, little food..
Be a terrorist, kill some non believers get caught and end up getting better housing then you had, more and better food, medical care which you did not have, and entertainment and activities provided!

[WayneS]

A spokeswoman says the improvements cost nearly $750,000.

Wow! The Obama adminstration could probably have 'created' a temporary $25,000 per year job with that much money...

[unixfox]

When will America wake up?

When it's too late?

[liberalh8ter]

For the most part, Americans are awake; it's the dang American politicians that are the problem. I'll bet you $100 dollars if I went to my local downtown and stood on the corner and asked every person who passed me if they think we should build a bigger soccer field for terrorists at Guantanamo, they'd say &@$# NO.

[onedoug]

“When it’s too late,” bump....

[crosshairs]

I don’t mind if they have a soccer field, as long as it is loaded with well hidden IED’s.

[mcshot]

If all goes well he could be playing on that field - but it won’t happen.

[Buckeye McFrog]

that’s because executions are the most exciting thing that has ever happened on a soccer field...

Thanks SoFloFreeper. Kenyan-born Muzzie ping.
