#1 That's great. I'll remember this the next time I see them running from the Capitol and screaming like little girls when some flight instructor gets lost in his piper cub...

#4 I have an idea, why don't we allow those who want them released to become their sponsors. Anyone American national, who wants to sponsor a terrorist in their household can do so.

If these people believe that these prisoners are safe enough to be released to live somewhere, why not with them. That way, they can show the world that they truly believe what they say, that these poor little jihadi's can be reformed with a little love and tlc.

#5 "The 24 million people in Iraq have a different opinon -- many different opinions -- but to hell with them, eh?"

Joe Biden has been Iraq five times I think, and has reported back recently on progress on training Iraqi forces. He is NOT one of those who ignore the people of Iraq, as the loony left does. He was clearly referring here to the broader picture.

#6 He was clearly referring here to the broader picture.

For Biden, the "bigger picture" is his presidential campaign.

And if we're "doing badly" it's in large part due to the treason of Biden's party.

#8 "...in large part..."

I'd be more comfortable with that phrase if it read "entirely".

I was a Democrat for over thirty years; but I swear, I will never, EVER vote for another one of those goddamn lying traitors so long as I live.

#9 I'd be more comfortable with that phrase if it read "entirely".

I'm leaving room for our "allies" like France and Saudi Arabia.

#13 Lets start by establishing a comparison with a tour first of Attica, Pelican Bay....

Let's add that other garden spot, Angola State Prison in Louisiana. It's 40 miles from anywhere, surrounded on three sides by swamps filled with 'gators, copperheads, and water moccisains, the temperature ranges from 0F to 112F, humidity is ALWAYS 100%, and the walls are always wet and slimy. Just to make sure Congress knows what they're doing, let's let ALL of them spend a month there, longer if necessary.
