#1 By the time Washington was ready, Uruguay was in the midst of an election campaign to choose Mujica's successor, making the issue a political hot potato.

Welcome to Uruguay, where you will feel like Hope and Crosby movies play all day.

#2 Obama, as one of his first acts in office upon taking office in January 2009, vowed to close the U.S. military prison, but that has been thwarted by the U.S. Congress.

He has therefore had to rely on a handful of countries that have agreed to take in some of the prisoners.

Thwarted by Congress? What poppycock! The fact that there are only a handful of countries that will accept these guys ought to tell Obama and his MSM something about these detainees.

Look for these boneheads to make their way to our southern border sometime in the future and claim they have been here 5 years. Then let the governmental benefits begin.

Uruguay must have very low, low standards for entry.
