Because Barack Obama wants YOU to get bombed by random eastern Europeans of brown descent picked up on the street by clandestine American military agents for no reason in 2002, he’s now going on about how “one of his first duties in office will be to order the closing of the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay,” probably within the first week of his illegitimate presidency. His order “will direct his administration to figure out what to do with the estimated 250 al-Qaida and Taliban suspects and potential witnesses who are being held at Guantanamo.” Eventually Obama will form a new Economic Recovery Council Organization thing to oversee them, under the reign of Leon Panetta and Bono. And Paul Volcker. No, but really Dick Cheney will just keep them in his basement, as mousers. [AP]
“Guantanamo” is Spanish for Cocktober and thus its inmates are forever shamed in the Muslin world.
Barry wants to bring us back in time to 2002? So that’s how he forged his own birth certificate.
He’s closing Cheney’s Harmony Hut? Can we give the prisoners Georgie’s address?
Does that mean that Liz is coming home?
shanemacgowan: No, 2002’s when he gave us that famous “speech” that promised ponies, love ins and apple pies as far as the eye can see. Damn if coming down off Hopeium isn’t a bitch.
Holy shit that picture? Is that some kind of Hobo Yiffpile?
freakishlystrong: I think it’s Prince Harry doing his bit to improve morale.
Does the Geneva Conventions allow fisting as an interrogation technique?
Why wear blue rubber gloves to hide your fingerprints when you are beating the tar out of “detainees” who have yet to be officially charged with anything? Your covenment, I mean government, don’t use no new fangled “junk science” like fingerprinting or dna printing or global warmin’ or nothin’ like that. Just pre-1100 AD tactics, such as throwing all “detainees” together in a pit in the 140 degree balmy Cuban weather.
4tehlulz: The Geneva Conventions only apply during peacetime. It’s sort of like how free-market capitalist principles only apply when the market is going up. When things get dodgy, all ironclad priciples go out the window.
Is “mouser” some kind of new slang for “furry?” Because if it isn’t, it should be.
freakishlystrong: That’s the smoking pile of shit that is Charles Grainer–father of Abu Ghraib babe Lynndie England’s baby. Whew, that kid was white trash the moment egg met sperm (& I’m talking about all 3 of them).
freakishlystrong: I am so ashamed that I laughed at your comment….
We can’t set them free. Cheney will just take it as time for hunting the most dangerous of game.
Everything the outgoing Shrub knows about The Geneva Convention he learned in the 60’s in Kennebunkport, Maine, chompin on pop tarts while watching “Hogan’s Heroes”. Hence our global kerfuffel.
Shurb’s first post disaster Presidency Book: “Everything I Know I Learned From That Kewl Show “Hogan’s Heroes”
You guys, relax- this just looks like a harmless game of Twister gone horribly wrong.
Texan Bulldoggette: While I agree with you about the smoking pile of shit thing, I still want to see the fuckers at the top get treatment SAME…
When does Joe the Plumber get to interview Graner?
Sweet Jesus, if the only thing Barry accomplishes is making sure that people acting on behalf of America never ever ever again believe that behavior pictured above is A-OK, his administration will be a success as far as I’m concerned. Ever since I saw those Abu Ghraib photos, I’ve felt like I can’t fully inhale due to the constricting effect of undying shame on my gut. I’m hoping it goes away on January 20.
Sorry, snark on.
WalnutsIsMyCo-Pilot: I was thinking rough night at the ol’ swarthy leather bar.
Mr Blifil:
On Patriots Day. With Beyond The Palin behind them slaughtering Turkeys or Wolves.
In these economically difficult times, the US government is selling off its embassys in expensive, central city locations. We need to set up a Marriott resort* in G-bay to capitalize on this asset sell-off.
*or even more spicy and profitable, one of those ‘adults-only’ orgy resorts
Otto Reimer: Wait- isn’t that what Twister is?
We should put some brilliant Tee Vee executive on this problem. I’m sure they could turn the Gitmo clusterfuck into some sort of reality series. Throw in some lawyers, American Idol first round rejects, Joe the Plumber and sit back while the hilarity ensues.
and potential witnesses who are being held at Guantanamo.
Holy crap, you can get sent to Gitmo just for maybe having *seen* someone think about committing terrorism?
Damn, Kip from Napoleon Dynamite is going apeshit on those motherfuckers.
Now that they’ve all learned some table manners maybe they could server finger foods at the la-di-da soirees scheduled for next weekend in DeeCee?
Jesus Xst- is that really a picture of Granier…..
Is that a photo of how people get pregnant in Wasilla?
How about Obama sends all 250 detainees to Crawford Ranch? That way, Bush can still keep on terror while away from the White House.

either that’s a Young Republican leadership retreat or an example of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Don’t Bite.”
norbizness:
That’s what they get for eatin’ his steaks.
What exactly does it mean to “close” Gitmo? Summarily execute them all? Set them all free? Hopefully, something in between, but the devil is in the details.
Close Gitmo? What? No more cockmeat sandwiches? Oh the horror…the horror.
Looks like someone lost a contact lens.
I thought they were going to resettle all the remaining inmates in Australia, in which case they’ll soon wish they were back in comfy gitmo. Vegemite and drought, you know.
