Gitmo To Chicago

Alexander Statement on Proposal to Relocate Gitmo Detainees to American Soil

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, today issued the following statement on the administration’s proposal to move detainees from Guantanamo Bay to the United States:

“Congress made it very clear to the administration that bringing dangerous terrorists onto American soil is not only the wrong thing to do, but goes against the wishes of the American people. I have yet to hear one good reason why moving these terrorists from off our shores right into the heart of our country makes us safer.”

Safer isn’t the point. Political appeasement is the point.

UPDATED:

Mike Pence’s thoughts:

“By moving known terrorists to American soil, the Obama Administration is putting international public relations ahead of public safety. How does closing Guantanamo Bay make us safer? How does moving over seventy known terrorists, to a facility in my beloved heartland of this country, make our families more safe? And how does it even make sense? Mr. President: rescind this order; reconsider your decision, put the safety and security of the American people ahead of international public opinion.” –Mike Pence

    The location of the detainees has absolutely no bearing on the safety of American citizens. Attacking American citizens or holding them for hostage could happen anywhere domestically or otherwise to attempt to obtain their release. Piss poor logic as usual.

    Actually it has quite a lot of bearing, but since when have silly things like “facts” and “logic” ever mattered to a liberal?

    Attacking American citizens or holding them for hostage could happen anywhere domestically or otherwise to attempt to obtain their release.

    So you’re saying Obama’s plan to move these terrorists to American soil was completely pointless. Gotcha.

    Our safety? How about the safety of the terrorists? Do you know how many murders there are in Obama’s hometown and political training ground of Chicago?

    These guys are going from a secure tropical vacation spot to a freezing cold Murderland, USA. If I were one of these guys I’d get my CAIR appointed lawyer on the phone and start churning out lawsuits.

    Another completely useless and dangerous move by obama in his never ending quest to be the exact opposite of Bush at any cost no matter what. The ends justify the means for this clown…even if the ends are useless and self serving at best.

  • whats_up

    There is no more danger to Americans in Illinois than there is to Americans in Colorado where we allready house terrorists, please more political opportunism by the right.

    Obama said he would close Gitmo and that is what he is doing. Just because the alternative to Gitmo is worse isn’t going to stop this administration from doing it. Just like everything else they are trying to do, what is best for America is not a consideration. The donks are just playing politics.

    …please more political opportunism by the right.

    Well, OK, but only because you asked nicely for it.

    Oh yes there is. The opportunity to potentially break free or have released a mass number of islamic terrorists on US soil has just been increased. This was a non solution to a non problem based only on politics. Shame on you and your dingleberry of a president. And funny you call our dislike of this obama decision “political opportunism.” I would call the (non) need to move them political opportunism.

    Spoken, as usual, like a man who has no idea what he’s talking about.

    Please your ignorance is appaling. We allready house multiple terrorists in a Supermax prison and have for a decade or so, no one in Colorado has ever expressed that they have felt “less safe”. The same will be true in Illinois.

    Please your ignorance is appaling.

    This from the child who thinks the NATO Commander doesn’t have any authority over NATO.

    We allready house multiple terrorists in a Supermax prison and have for a decade or so

    Yeah, a whopping four Islamic terrorists, all of which were captured on US soil and/or prior to the start of the War on Terror. By contrast, more than two hundred terrorists are currently being held at Guantanamo Bay, all of which were captured on the battlefield in the Middle East.

    You just live to fail epically, don’t you Whats_up?

    no one in Colorado has ever expressed that they have felt “less safe”.

    Yet again, you speak of things you haven’t a clue about.

    “They’re inside of the walls, but just the idea they were in the same area … I don’t think I would like it,” said Martha Hagerman, Florence resident.

    “If you want to move Guantanamo Bay detainees to Florence, Colorado, we would have to have a new facility,” said Rep. Buffie McFadyen, Pueblo West.

    Americans are more in danger from Chicago & National street gangs than they are from anyone in custody from Gitmo.

    Repeating this fallacy-fest on multiple threads won’t make it any less idiotic, D-Vega.
