Gen. Skelton (Fox News Commentator) starts just making things up (GITMO)

[ShaneGR]

Here's a list of what the good General had to say just now on Fox:

1. 85% of Gitmo detainees say they'll immediately start killing Americans when released.
2. 95% of Gitmo detainees are Sunni Iraqis.
3. Gitmo is nicer than most American prisons.
4. Each detainee gets 4100 calories a day of food (Huh?)

Anyways, the 95% are Sunni Iraqis caught my ear the most, so I did a simple google.

Incidentally, when UPI released the nationalities, THERE WAS ONE IRAQI IN THERE.

1. WTF

What is that asshole smoking? 4100 calories? If I had to cram 4100 calories down my gullet everyday, it'd be torture.

On edit: #1 might be right. If I were in there, I'd want to start killing Americans the moment I got out, even if I'd never even disliked Americans before.

95% Sunni Iraquis? Did he pull that one out of Rush's butt?

4. They NEED that 4100 calorie ration!

After all, they all have super powers. One of them is stronger than ten Americans. That's what makes those godless buggers so dangerous!

It must be true, because Roger Ailes told me it was.

--p!

6. maybe it's all some dastardly scheme to make human foie gras

They're force-feeding them in order to enlarge their livers for harvesting. Think about it...I could totally see Cheney sitting down to eat that with a nice Chianti.

[wryter2000]

15. And maybe fava beans

Paging Dr. Lecter.

(I wonder if we should post this thread in Cooking and Baking :evilgrin:)

9. 40 light beers a day?

[wryter2000]

14. I see your point

They're building WMD's with their bare hands.

[Skidmore]

16. It takes a lot of energy to sit in a cage.

[Xipe Totec]

2. 40.5% of all statistics are made up bullshit

Including this one.

But it sure makes it look scientific, don't it?

[diamondsndust]

7. a new study shows that 50% of the people

make up half of the human population..

[Bandit]

8. Can you prove that...have a link

:crazy:

[Xipe Totec]

11. But they're all above average

:evilgrin:

[Junkdrawer]

3. Fox News Commentator....making things up....

Welcome home, Mr. VanWinkle

[RufusEarl]

5. The truth no longer matters,

just make it up as you go along, amazing!

[pooja]

10. if we don't kill them over there, give them a heart attack with

all that mcdonald's food they get.

[eviltwin2525]

12. Torture by Super-sizing

I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a plan to EAT 4100 calories a day. This is clearly in violation of the Geneva Convention!

13. and it's STILL illegal

Skelton ...you dumbass
