First Step Toward Emptying Gitmo Worries Republicans
Click here for reuse options!“This whole deal may have been a test to see how far the administration can actually push it, and if Congress doesn’t fight back they will feel more empowered to move forward with additional transfers,” said one senior GOP senate aide close to the issue. “They’ve lined up all the dominoes to be able to move a lot more detainees out of Guantanamo and this could be just the beginning.”…
Now there’s growing concern on Capitol Hill that President Obama intends to bypass Congress to fulfill his promise to close the prison by releasing scores of more Guantanamo prisoners with little public or even private debate. Lawmakers and staffers see the Bergdahl case as only the latest maneuver in a larger plan to cut Congress out of the Guantanamo issue; and they’re not exactly reassured by senior administration officials’ refusal to disclose what steps will be taken to mitigate the risk that these prisoners could become involved again in the Afghan insurgency.

That’s SO funny, because that’s EXACTLY what WE said about those Mind Numbed BushCheneybot Idiots, like THEIR Illegal Incompetent LIAR in chief, who not only had a Strong Aversion to FACT and TRUTH, but who’s hypocrisy knew no bounds!!!
Ole King George, the LIAR in chief, , circumvented the LAW so many times, and released the ENEMIES of the US (like the bin Laden family on 9/11, and look up “Guantanamo Recidivism Report from DNI” ).
Not to mention his business partners, Shafiq bin Ladin ,Salem bin Ladin, , James Bath and Sheik Khalid bin Mahfouz, Sami Al-Arian, Abdullah Shallah, and Hassan Turabi who have LOTS OF BLOOD from OUR HEROES on their hands, so they can KILL more of OUR HEROES!!
But why let facts get in the way of a good yarn?

Suddenly the right is indignant and offended over the notion of negotiating with bad guys.
