Damn Bush

[BT]

Not surprising

Someone must be surprised , why was the promise ever made?

This is part of Obamas effort to make Bush look good.

Congress is to blame for not closing Guantanamo.The prisoners have to go somewhere, after all.

Not closing it simply indicates that Congress is uninterested in world opinion or justice.

And who's been in Majority control of Congress since Obama took office again??

And who's been in Majority control of Congress since Obama took office again??

Err, actually, for two years PRIOR to Obama taking office.

Tis true.  I was just addressing Xo's apparent effort to make this a "congress" issue and trying to give a pass to both Obama & the Dems who have been in complete control since he took office

Not sure how you can read that into his reply.

Unlike the bubble you tend to keep your responses locked into, mine was in reference to the rhetorical track record

So you misrepresented his post?

[sirs]

Not at all.  It's an accurate deduction, when you remove your bubble of immunity.  But, if he comes on and clarifies that he really was criticizing Obama & the Democrats in charge for not closing Gitmo, then my deduction will have been in error.  Which again, isn't a misrepresentation either

Misrepresentation would be pushing a position that he doesn't support, as if he did, or vice versa.  Kinda like......claiming someone supports a Conservative MSM bias when they don't

If a man responds to a thread titled "Democratic Controlled US House Decides to NOT CLOSE GITMO!"

with

Congress is to blame for not closing Guantanamo.The prisoners have to go somewhere, after all.

One would assume that the man knew that the Congress being blamed was "Democratic Controlled" and by extension not

trying to give a pass to both Obama & the Dems who have been in complete control since he took office

[sirs]

And one more time, my reference is not to this bubble of this thread alone, where no other thread exists.  Its in reference to the rhetorical history of giving pass after pass after pass to Obama & the Dems....except of course when they're not being liberal enough.

But as I said, if he comes on and clarifies that he really meant the Dems and Obama, then I'd be in error.  We shall wait for the clarification

So your reply was prejudiced. I can see how in your mind it was not a misrepresentation, because damn it once people are placed in their pigeonhole they had better damn well stay there.

I took his post to mean that he was disappointed in the dem congress for not living up to their stated ideals, even if implementing the closure of GITMO would be complicated and problematic to say the least.

Now my question to you is did the dems do wrong in not funding the closure of GITMO and the transfer stateside of the prisoners?
