The president has apparently found a way to finally close Gitmo – three years past the promised closing date. The president’s plan – send the most dangerous detainees back to Afghanistan as a means of wooing the Taliban. Presumably, the Taliban would then behave long enough to allow the president to pull our troops out prior to November 2012 (yes, there is a significant event anticipated that month).
While many may complain that this goes too far – way, way too far – I’d like to suggest it doesn’t go far enough. As long as we are to adopt a suicidal foreign policy where we reward our enemies for being our enemies (yes, Little Bo VP, they are our enemies), we should endeavor to make the pain as short and merciful as possible. I, therefore, recommend the following:
Send the terrorists back to Afghanistan with boatloads of our latest military hardware. In fact, why don’t we provide them with some nuclear warheads? Just think, we can all stop worrying about whether Iran has the bomb; it won’t matter anymore.
And after we’ve armed those terrorists to the teeth, we can complete the deal by painting targets in all our major metropolitan areas and then, with new regulations written into one of hundreds of blank pages of Obamacare, we can require everyone to gather around the targets to receive their nuclear inoculations.
Yes, this does sound drastic. But, as the course of a slow death we initiated as voters in 2008 is more than any truly patriotic Americans can bear to witness, and since the outcome, in the end, will be the same, why drag it out any longer than necessary.
