Congress To O: You’re Not Gonna Git Mo Gitmo Bucks
Congress may be full of Democrats, but it’s not full of idiots … well, not complete idiots. The new emergency war bill, stuffed as it is with $20 billion in non-defense garbage like the $1 billion clunker buy-back abomination, doesn’t contain one penny for the closure of Obama’s Guantanamo closing madness.
Worse for the Prez, it puts restrictions on his recent dark, secretive schemes to transfer jihadists to other nations. You know, demanding transparency; that sort of thing the candidate loved but the president shuns.
The members of Congress have become aware the folks back home don’t want a bunch of Mohammed Atta wannabees hanging out by their neighborhood Seven-11. Too bad they haven’t quite grasped that we don’t want to sell the future of the country down the river on socialist schemes, either.
The $106 emergency bill – what’s not an emergency in DC nowadays? – prohibits the prez from releasing any Gitmo detainees into the U.S., prevents them from being transfered here for prosecution without the preparation of something akin to a Jihadist Impact Report, and requires the prez to disclose the deals he cuts with other nations before detainees can be transfered to them and does a risk analysis.
How can they so resolutely slap down this bit of presidential lunacy and still let him speed through transformational measures that will impact us and future generations with debt and destruction of the free market?
Oh, yeah: Iit’s just their intense interest in self-preservation. It’s easier to face the voters after selling out the economy and constitution than it is to face them after letting out terrorists.
