Gitmo idiocy

Cheney to Obama: Detain or Execute

v. Liberal Symbolism

Symbolic of Reckless Incompetance “ Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday the only alternative to holding some suspected terrorists indefinitely would be to execute them, expanding his argument against President Obama's plans to close the Guantanamo prison. "If you're going to be engaged in a world conflict such as we are, such as the global war on terrorism, if you don't have a place where you can hold these people, your only other option is to kill them," Mr. Cheney said. "And we don't operate that way." Well, not since we decided not to win wars and restore peace, we don't.  But it's pretty tough to argue with that, eh Barry?  What with 1 in 7 Gitmo prisoners y'all already released rejoining the fight.  The president responded to Mr. Cheney in an interview with National Public Radio at the White House, dismissing questions about whether the former vice president's arguments present a challenge. "Well, he also happens to be wrong. Right?" Mr. Obama said, chuckling. Wow, that's kind of an evil laugh there, Mr. Pretend President.  Why are you so insistent on this indefensible decision of yours? Mr. Obama's decision to close Guantanamo did receive praise from Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu during a visit to Washington. "For the psychological atmosphere, the symbolic issues are important," Mr. Davutoglu said in an interview with a small group of journalists at his Washington hotel. "Many things in our region are psychological." *smacks head* The old Liberal symbolism!  Sorry Barry, I wasn't thinking.  But, won't  a picture of one of those released psychos holding the severed head of an American  be some powerful symbolism?     But, maybe that's just me. ”
