Comments on: Canada's Gitmo refusal http://www.jacksnewswatch.com/2009/10/14/canadas-gitmo-refusal/ Jack's Newswatch - You can fool some of the bears all of the time, and all of the bears some of the time, but you can not fool all of the bears all of the time — Jack's Newswatch Sun, 12 Feb 2012 09:02:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: nomdeblog http://www.jacksnewswatch.com/2009/10/14/canadas-gitmo-refusal/#comment-5975 nomdeblog Wed, 14 Oct 2009 22:41:28 +0000 http://www.jacksnewswatch.com/?p=6213#comment-5975 “we expect our government to stand up for us huh? “   Agree btdt, the Star’s premise is wrong in this case.  Our interests don’t “clash” on this issue. It is not in the US interest or Canada’s to move them off Gitmo.   What is clashing is an inept President having opportunistically misled his people and now wants to save himself embarrassment. Interestingly I’ve overheard a number of youth who noticed this Gitmo duplicity by Obama and they bring it up in the context of the Nobel prize.   Gitmo is a lot more serious but similar to McGuinty promising to roll back the tolls on the 407 and then saying “aw shucks, I didn’t see the file and the contracts until you elected me”.   Both McGuinty and Obama owe their voters an apology but that’ll never happen.   Why would a Star reporter want to enable deception? It is the Star that clashes with our interests. “we expect our government to stand up for us huh? “

Keep them in Gitmo or send them all back to their homeland and see what happens. Considering that one released guy went back to take over the Al Queda network. How many deaths is he responsible for.
