So its Bush's fault that Obama doesn't have a plan to close Guitmo? That is the context of this conversation, and the point I was making regarding docspud's post. And it was the Democrats that overwhelmingly refused to fund the closing of Guitmo stating that Obama doesn't have an adequate plan! If the Democrats really wanted to do it, they wouldn't even need the Republicans, they have the overwhelming majority. So no, the "blame the Republicans" argument doesn't really hold water in this context.

While we are at it Obama doesn't have a plan to reduce the cost of health care either, he says he is gonna do it. He has a bunch of people excited about it but nothing on paper that we can see, or even debate. All he has is a verbal commitment from a bunch of people in the health care industry, who when the time comes to take the hit will say "well I thought you were talkin about the other guy".

I don't remember saying that I am afraid of the detainees being placed in US prisons. Perhaps you are right,,, maybe some skinhead will shank them in the shower. Who knows! Then again, maybe they will join the Nation of Islam members that have a strong presence in our prisons and become some sort of heroes with those whack jobs! Pretty hard to say isn't it.
