Skelton: Missing Gitmo Deadline is “disturbing”
Posted By J.T. on July 27, 2009
Congressman Ike Skelton (D), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, is concerned that President Obama’s task force has failed to meet the 6 month deadline for coming up with the details on how to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center within a year.
From Voice of America:
“With little more than five months to go, the lack of details on how Guantanamo should be closed, where detainees will be transferred, what precautions will be taken to protect communities, the costs associated with a closure decision and a range of related considerations is, frankly, disturbing. A detailed plan should be proposed as soon as possible.”
Someone needs to help Ike. The old boy must be worn slap out from all he is doing to stop excessive spending and stupid expensive radical changes in the government takeover of health care.
Ike….propose a bill to keep Gitmo going. Do something that shows you have 31 years of tenure.
Maybe he needs to find a realtor on the break so he can have all that done after the next election
