Club Gitmo

Bhagdad, Iraq: At the bazaar in Sadr City, check out the T-Shirts advertising the tropical paradise in Cuba where every check-in gets a brand new Koran and a prayer rug. (Also at Club Gitmo 4 Kids, but not available to American kids who are not allowed to pray at camp.)

A typical T-shirt sports a Club Gitmo logo on the front pocket and a catchy saying on the back. A jihadi kid favorite is “My Mullah went to Club Gitmo and all I got was this Lousy T-Shirt.”

In the US, Club Gitmo gear is available exclusively at RushLimbaugh.com.

Washington, DC: Senator Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, took the Senate floor and likened US servicemen at Guantanamo Bay to the Nazis:

“Let me read to you what one FBI agent saw. And I quote from his report:”

‘On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold. . . . On another occasion, not only was the temperature unbearably hot, but extremely loud rap music was being played in the room.’

Durbin again:
“If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime--Pol Pot or others--that had no concern for human beings.”

A little rough treatment of terrorists, who would gladly incinerate American men, women and children, in order to garner critical information that could save American lives is the same as Nazi behavior to Dick Durbin, that moral idiot.

Then there was the statement of Democratic Senator Joe Biden: "I think more Americans are in jeopardy as a consequence of the perception that exists worldwide with its existence than if there were no Gitmo."

Annie Coulter hit the nail on the Democratic head: “So if people around the world believe that if they try to kill Americans they might go to a bad, scary place called Guantanamo, that will make them more likely to kill Americans? Let's also pause to ponder the image of the middle-of-the-road, 'centrist' jihadist who could be 'recruited' to jihad by reports about abuse at Guantanamo. You know – the kind of guy who just watches al-Jazeera for the sports and hits the mute button whenever they start in about the Jews again. Liberals want us to believe such a person exists.”

Dick Durbin, Joe Biden, Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and all the rest of the Democrats who compare Gitmo to a gulag and worry about opinion in the Muslim street are almost the definition of moral idiots.

Ralph Peters in the New York Post provides a rationale:

“From our ailing domestic left to overseas America haters, no one really cares about the fate of Mustapha the Murderer or Ahmed the Assassin. The lies told about Gitmo are meant to undercut U.S. foreign policy and embarrass America. The Gitmo controversy is about jealousy of the United States and outrage that we refuse to fail and residual anger that we won the Cold War and exploded the left's great fantasy of a dictatorship of the intellectuals. But the one thing the protests aren't about is human rights. Except, of course, as a means to slam the United States.”

Yep, that’s the ticket: leftist, jealous, intellectual, anti-American … moral idiots.
