Gitmo fallout…

After failing to fund the closure of Gitmo because the disposition of the detainees was unknown,  Democrats are now trying to find a way out of the hole His Oneness dug for them.    Apparently,  having belatedly realized that any politician who accepts a Gitmo inmate on US soil will lose his job,  the Democrats new plan is to bribe foreign countries to take the detainees.    They figure this will insulate them — and Obama — from the profoundly unwise decision to close Gitmo.

What this really means is that the bribed countries won’t be first class world citizens,  but the dicier types,  and they will cheerfully take US taxpayer money,  promise incarceration,  and either turn the detainees loose,  or pass them on to the next bribe purveyor.

Considering that Obama pulled back on releasing the photos of abuse today,  Democrats have their heads down.    Republicans are praising the reversal without mentioning overly that someone who was actually concerned about the welfare of our military would never have agreed to release them in the first place.    Predictably,  the left has  gone ballistic.

Of course,  the official display of reasoning behind the reversal makes Obama look judicious and wise instead of  indulging in political hackery and sheer stupidity.   The man does have a facility with words,  unless you happen to remember what he previously said on the subject.    Tip:   The more he says  “As I’ve said before”  or  “My position has always been”,  the less likely it is to be true.
