First the Dems whine, cry, bitch and moan about Club Gitmo. But now that there is a recordable vote on what to do with the terrorists there, they say let them stay?
Maybe they want us to let them loose in Havana?
In a 94-3 vote, senators passed a proposal authored by Republican Leader Mitch McConnell that states detainees, “including senior members of Al Qaeda, should not be released to American society” or moved to “facilities in American communities and neighborhoods.”
McConnell strongly backed the move after the vote.
“I can guarantee you that my constituents don’t want terrorists housed in their backyards in Ft. Knox, Ft. Wright or anywhere else in the Commonwealth,” he said. “I know I don’t.”
McConnell added: “The Senate has now overwhelmingly expressed its view that it’s better for the safety and security of the American people that terrorists at Guantanamo Bay are not moved into American communities. And it says to the American people that the United States Senate does not want these terrorists housed on our soil, in our communities.”
The amendment does express a view on whether Gitmo should remain open or closed — or mention moving alleged terrorists elsewhere.
We can’t keep them in Gitmo. We can’t move to another off-continent prison or it’ll just be the same BS except with a new name. We can’t bring them into the country. So what are we to do with them?
I’m sure the gentlemen at Paris Island could use some targets to train the recuits with.
Any other suggestions?
Put them aboard a Navy sub, half-dozen at a time. Have the sub’s sonar operator locate the most shark-infested section of ocean nearby, and feed ’em to the sharks via the torpedo tubes.
Nice thing about a torpedo-tube execution: the execution apparatus is self-cleaning.
From Hugh Hewitt
“you’d think this measure would go down in flames. Except a funny thing happened. The bill was titled in a way that you had to vote yes to vote no, and no to vote yes. The final vote was 94-3, officially putting the Senate on record as saying terrorist detainees shouldn’t be moved to the U.S. Before the Democrats, who clearly hadn’t read the amendment, realized they screwed up, the vote was recorded.”
Rivrdog, I would only have wanted them on the boat if they were loaded though the tubes and never discraced my boat by being on the inside of it. Also skip the sharks and discharge then at test depth. Even better let them try to use the escape hatch at test depth heh heh heh.
