(Rep) Boehner: Obama 'importing' terrorists

[sabra]

Source: MSNBC

Republicans this morning are pouncing on the news that one Gitmo detainee, Ahmed Ghailani, was transferred to a federal court in New York for his alleged role in the 1998 Africa embassy bombings. Said House Minority Leader John Boehner in a statement:


This is the first step in the Democrats’ plan to import terrorists into America. Without a plan to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, the Administration has made the decision to begin transferring these terrorists into the United States, in spite of the overwhelming opposition of the American people and serious questions from Members of Congress of both parties. There are more than 200 of the world’s most dangerous men held at the Guantanamo Bay prison. Does the Administration plan to transfer all of them into our nation in this way? Do they plan to give them the same legal rights as the American people? Just what is the Administration’s plan for closing this prison?

1. Correction

200 of the worlds most unluckiest SHEEP HERDERS!

How many in Gitmo have got any shred of terrorist experience?

most of them are just poor bastards that got turned in by their friends to collect thousands of dollars in US Government REWARD MONEY.

How come this is never mentioned in any coverage of this anywhere?

Shows how the public discourse is backed up with BULLSHIT.

20. Uh, Boner should realize the terrorists are here!

Hey Boner, how about the terrorist killer of Dr Tiller who says his pals are going to kill more doctors????

Oh, that's OK with you??????

2. a supermax cell

3. Question - Rep. Boner?

Do you REALLY feel safe with all those terrorists being held in a camp that, from what I've seen, is barely as secure as a medium-security state penitentiary, IN CUBA? You know how dangerous those commies are - do you think that they will turn any escapees over to us, or will they enable them to carry out their nefarious plans?

KEEP US SAFE, REP. BONER! Bring those men to where they can be kept in Super-max lockdown, far from any potential allies!

I understand Youngsville has an appropriate facility. Take the lead!

[damntexdem]

4. But Roeder was always here, wasn't he?

Likewise Operation Rescue, terrorist anti-choice websites, and Limpballs and O'Really. So where's the importation come in? ;-)

[sharp_stick]

5. Keep up the smoking and tanning there Boner

we should be rid of you sooner that way. If this is all the pukes have to offer Obama should cruise in 2012

[sinkingfeeling]

6. How the hell would Boner know that they're 'the world's most dangerous men'? He and all of the other

GOP cowards have done nothing but whine and wet their pants since Sept. 11, 2001. If those at Gitmo have been held for 8 or more years, without any charges, then how does he conclude they're even dangerous?

[No Elephants]

29. Bushco were the most dangerous men (and woman).

7. Toxic Spraytan Syndrome

makes Boehner's mind all orange and mushy

[Blue For You]

8. Boehner is importing his usual bottle of "whine". /eom

[sorrowspath]

9. Pot...Kettle...Black

That speech alone will produce more potential terrorist. If Democrats "import", then I assume republicans breed and school terrorists.

[DallasNE]

10. What About The Rule Of Law Boehner?

This person should have been brought to trial years ago. Also, this extra-legal advise is highly inciteful and could lead to another nut taking the law into his own hands. Obviously Boehner is not bothered by this possibility. Not when there is an election to be won. This lowest denominator approach just makes me sick. Boehner is one sick dude.

[Catshrink]

11. Just proves Obama is an elitist.

He insists on importing terrorists when we have domestic terrorists that are just as "good" such as Roeder and his buds at OR.

[Robb]

13. LOL

:)

14. How's the baby?

I'm sure you are having a wonderful time being a dad!

[Robb]

16. She's freaking adorable, I just love this

Thanks! holding her as I speak. And typing with one hand as she and mom sleep. :)

[Catshrink]

17. Post photos!

Maybe you have and I missed them. We want to see Baby Dingbat.

[Robb]

18. Put a couple in the Lounge just now.

:hi:

[russian33]

12. um, so what about the guy responsible for 1993 WTC bombing?

Bohner realizes he's inprisoned here in US, right?

[Sabriel]

15. If we import them, we should test them for lead first.

Get the CPSC or the FDA on that right away.

Edited to add, I don't want my kids getting lead-contaminated terrorists this year.

[Cha]

19. Republicans let 9/11 happen on their watch..

Obama's trying to clean up their mess.

[aquart]

21. Let's hear Boner's plan to deal with the terrorists we grew ourselves.

Who successfully terrorize doctors and women.

[Mz Pip]

22. No one as ever

escaped from one of our maximum security prisons.

I swear the GOP whiners give almost mythological powers to these Gitmo detainees. Once on Ameican soil, they will sprout wings and their true powers will be revealed. They will walk through the walls of the prisons, become invisible, build bombs in the bathrooms of nursery schools and blow up Ohio.

I would be more likely to bet that bad guys that occupy our prisons are more of a threat to these so called terrorists than the terrorists are to us. We have some seriously bad ass dudes in our prisons. Remember Jeffery Dahmer? He killed people. Then he ate them. THen he got killed in prison, by some bad ass thug.

23. he's afraid that the terrorists are going to emulate Andy Dufresne

and order a poster of Rita Hayworth ...

[90-percent]

24. it's obvious

the first thing the terrorists are going to do is

break out of prison

hijack a 747

fly it in to our remaining symbols of America

Boy, I sure wouldn't want to be the one that made a decision that lead to that chain of events!

[Puzzler]

26. Hey, Boehner and the GOP are disrespecting our jails...

... and jailguards!

[miyazaki]

27. some of the real terrorists are the gangs that have ruined cities

and neighborhoods & lives forevor. guess he's ok with them?

[No Elephants]

28. Is New York still there?

[Vinca]

30. Statements like this make Boner and his band of cranky sheep

look like idiots. Especially when the families of those who were affected by the terrorist acts come forward and say they are happy the guy was brought to this country for trial.

[MellowDem]

31. Boner is importing some

sort of skin lotion that turns him orange and causes to have hallucinations and visions of grandeur.

[western mass]

32. ...and the GOP brews them up at home.

I guess you've got to give the repukes some credit. The (right-wing christian) terrorists they support are 100% Made in the USA.

[Xenotime]

33. How about the fact that these people are innocent. And those who ARE guilty are walking free.
