Isn't that question the rhetorical equivalent of admitting that Dubya left behind a huge pile of stinky, steamy....... intractable problems?

So are going to let them re-locate the prisoners in Ohio? Seems like no one else wants them.

...which begs a question. If we sent all those miscreants to Cleveland, would anyone even notice? Other than being able to get better falafels and shawarmas, of course.

I suggest not - your blue collar brethern would take care of them in a way you would strongly disapprove of

It's Bushes fault though. It couldn't be that we need a facility like Gitmo.

I take no particular issue with Gitmo, per se. My problem is that we've created sort of a geopolitical limbo land down there. I really have no idea whether the folks down there are really the "worst of the worst" or just a bunch of teenage cab drivers and short order cooks who were caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm afraid that the bigs wigs at the Pentagon don't know either and don't have a way to sort it out (that can withstand legal scrutiny).

The dude was in campaign mode. Like all politicians in campaign mode, they tell you what they think you want to hear - free beer for life, BJ's after 20 years of marriage ..........

But he was to bring balance to the force!

No change, just another Chicago politican, demonizing Bush and lying to kids.

Although I wish he'd pull through on the listed promises

The timing of this thread wouldn't have anything to do with the last combat brigade leaving Iraq today, would it?

No, no! Don't look over there! Look over here!
