It’s Cha-Ching Cha-Ching Cha-Ching time for rancid third-world dictatorships.

Obama is so hell-bent on keeping his promise to clear out Gitmo before he goes he’ll pay some tinpot despot ANYTHING he asks if he’ll just take a few of these guys off his hands for him.

These individuals are needed on the battlefield right away, so Kerry facilitated their release. They will be in Yemen, Libya or Syria within a week after they arrive in Senegal. ISIS puts in a requests, and Kerry fills it

Yes, because they weren’t our weapons. We are arming one side, Iran is arming the other side. Proxy wars

How much are we paying them for this grand gesture? And with active fighting in Yemen, why are we letting those particular berks go? Hope you have headcounts scheduled, Jean, the blood will be on your hands.
