Jihad coming to a supermax near you! Beds being cleared for Gitmo detainees

Uh oh! As we’ve gone now over 6 months since Hussein Obama signed the “close Gitmo act by Jan 2010″, and he still has no place to put them as no other countries are willing to take more than 1 or 2, it now appears that the Obama administration is moving around prisoners in an attempt to clear out beds for remaining Gitmo detainees. According to 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America:

Since June 30, President Barack Obama has cleared two dozen beds at Supermax for Gitmo detainees and today Senate Democrats will attempt to block a vote on Senator Jim Inhofe’s amendment [S.Amdt.1559] to the Defense Authorization bill (S.1390) for FY 2010. The amendment would prohibit the transfer of detainees from Guantanamo to any facility in the United States. (A final vote on the Defense authorization may come as early as this evening.) In addition, Senator Inhofe is also sponsoring the ‘Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility Safe Closure Act of 2009′ (S.370). We join Sen. Inhofe in asking you to call your Senators [(202) 224-3121] today and demand that they go on record, to vote ‘yea’ or ‘nay’ to keep terrorists out of America.

Previously, there was always a long waiting list to move infamous criminals, prisoners who had repeatedly assaulted guards or fellow prisoners, and high-security prisoners in grave danger in general population into Supermax. When President Obama took office there was one free bed. On June 30, 2009, Supermax inmate Eric Rudolph wrote Fox News saying it is already at capacity, “So even if they decide to move the detainees here I do not know where they would put them.”

In another sign that Jihad may be coming to US soil, Senate Democrats blocked the effort of U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) to consider his amendment that would permanently keep the military-run detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GITMO) open while preventing terrorist detainees from being transferred to the United States.

    Okay, let me get this straight. First Barry was going to let them go. Then he decided to write a declaration stating he could hold them indefinitely, regardless of their innocence. Third, he decided to let some of them go-and put them up on islands spread throughout the world, with some of the very best beaches and cuisine. Now, he is going to dump them in a state prison in Standish Michigan, a quite berg that relies on the 400 or so jobs at the prison, and replace those employees of the state system with military and federal prison employees.
    I don’t know if I missed anything-but aren’t they great right in Guantanamo Bay CUBA? Isn’t that a prison we spent countless 10′s of millions building, and is sovereign US land, only not within our borders? What is the purpose for bringing them here? And when will they leave-and what is the state of Michigan going to do about the 400 lost jobs? They can’t do anything-which means they will be more drag on an overwhelmed unemployment, welfare, and food stamps system! Michigan is broke, so that is why they are going to accept a federal bribe to take these dirtballs-but why in the first place are we moving them to US soil? What the hell am I missing?
