Close Down Club Gitmo?? Check this out.

Folks, there is a reason that America puts people in prison. Usually it is because they represent a threat to society, but there is a cadre of Americans who don't believe that we need to have places like "Club Gitmo" (the Guantanamo Terrorist Detention Center) in Cuba.

These naive souls, like John Edwards, believe that:

"The War on Terror is a slogan designed only for politics, not a
strategy to make America safe. It's a bumper sticker, not a plan."

Considering the violent record of Radical Islam over the past 30 years, this kind of political opportunism and/or intentional ignorance is inexcusable.

The reason that "Club Gitmo" (a name coined by Rush Limbaugh) exists is because throughout this war against the Global Islamic Jihad, our troops have encountered and captured some thoroughly bad individuals. A case in point is reported today by AP via Yahoo News:

Russia: Ex-Guantanamo detainee killed
By JIM HEINTZ, Associated Press Writer

MOSCOW - A man formerly held in the U.S. facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was killed Wednesday in a shootout with security agents in a restive North Caucasus republic, Russia's top security agency said.

Ruslan Odizhev was killed amid gunfire that erupted when agents tried to arrest him and another man in Kabardino-Balkariya, a region near Chechnya that is plagued by violence linked both to crime and to religious tensions, the Federal Security Service said in a statement.

The service, known by its Russian acronym FSB, said Odizhev had been held at Guantanamo Bay and was believed to have been a supporter of the Taliban. Odizhev was one of seven Russians released from the detention facility in 2004; his whereabouts recently had been unknown.

The FSB did not specify why agents were trying to detain him, but said he was a suspect in the 1999 bombings of apartment buildings in Moscow and Volgodonsk and that he took part in a 2005 insurgent attack on police and government facilities in Nalchik, the capital of Kabardino-Balkariya.

So here we have a perfect example as to why those individuals who keep demanding that we close the Guantanamo facility closed deserve to be scorned as Left-wing, moon-bat, buffoons; bantam weight intellects unworthy of respect.

No individual in America who fully understands the nature of those we are fighting and who believes in maintaining the security and integrity of our nation could seriously say the things that Democrats like Edwards, Obama, and Clinton have been saying unless they value their political careers more than the lives of their fellow citizens.

There is nothing more contemptible in public service than those who would seek to promote themselves over the safety and security of the American people by telling lies. This is nothing but coldly calculated political posing by those who prefer deception to truth and sloganeering and name-calling to genuine debate...in other words, Liberals.

Close Club Gitmo? I don't think so.

Long Live Our American Republic!
