Bombshell-report on Fox News: George W. Bush sent captured terrorists to tropical paradise

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/02/foxs-andrea-tantaros-rips-obama-for-closing-gitmo-tropical-paradise-after-scalia-conveniently-died/

Fox News host Andrea Tantaros lashed out at President Barack Obama over his plans to close what she said was a “tropical paradise” at the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center in Cuba.

...

“And for the president to say it’s a recruitment tool, there’s not been one piece of evidence in [al Qaeda’s] Inspire magazine or otherwise that shows that Gitmo — a tropical paradise — has somehow been used as a recruitment tool,” she insisted. “That is a flat-out lie.”

Maybe she can be the last prisoner released. Calling the President a flat out liar is pretty remarkable. Good thing she didn't try that with President Cheeny.

12 Gitmo detainees recently released back to their home countries are accusing Obama of discrimination because he didn’t send them to a tropical paradise as he did with the Gitmo Uighur terrorists. (Living there totally at U.S. taxpayer expense, thank you very much)






There are some weird ass sites out there on the net.

Uighurs are a seperate ethnicity, like Mongols and Chinese. Genghis Khan adopted the uighuric script when he needed a bureaucracy to rule his empire, which eventually connected the Uighurs to China when the Mongols conquered the northern part of it.

But historically, Uighurs are way more than merely "chinese Muslims".
