Great - Guantanamo prisoners coming to the US
The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works -- whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified."
-President Barack Obama, 1/20/09
I blogged earlier about a group of Chinese Muslims (the Uighurs) that were captured at a Taliban training camp here. The upshot now is that it looks like they are going to be released in the US, perhaps as early as next week.
Notice the word "released" - not "imprisoned". There have been several US governmental security agencies that have said these folks are still dangerous and are a risk to American civilians. So, what is the Obama Administration going to do?
Yup, just let them run free. In fact, we're probably going to give them welfare, via our taxpayer dollars, to boot! After all, as one government official basically said "we just can't drop them off in the middle of nowhere...".
That's Factiod One that shows that government isn't working - the Obama Administration is letting these jihadists go free for political reasons ("I will shut Guantanamo down")!
Factiod Two? It would be side splitting if it wasn't so serious:
So to complete the picture, we now have an FBI out beating the bushes — and taking lots of flak for it — to try to find out which radical Muslims in the United States may be embedded jihadists who've gotten paramilitary training from al Qaeda, and we've got an Attorney General and a President who are simultaneously planning to embed in the United States jihadists who've gotten paramilitary training from al Qaeda.
Let me break this down for all you Statists that believe Government is nothing but good:
- We are paying good money to search out those that want to kill us for religious reasons.
- We are going to pay good money to set free and maintain those that want to kill us for religious reasons.
Their left hand, their right hand, and our wallet in between them.
So, ya think Obama will allow a couple of these monsters bunk in with him, the Missus, and the kids at the White House for a spell?
Then why should we be expected to do so?
