And these guys were determined to be innocent.

China wants to execute them.

You must love China and hate America.

:lol Save the argument. Two things (both a 1st) occurred in Palau today that's all. I guess your not a fan of irony.

By the way, use of the word Irony fail.

I really think that Obama needs to allow us to visit Cuba. It would help the economy (think of all the jobs that the tourism industry would get!), plus, Cuba's friggin beautiful.

To be fair to the OP, I reckon that the Quighers that were sent to Palau were doing the same thing. There's just no pictures of them

I'm glad there out and that because all the politicians in the United States are such pussies and couldn't step up to the plate, they get sent to a tropical paradise. Justice.

cuba is a crap hole

american tourists would just flock to the beach resorts (already swarming with dirty europeans) that are on lock down by the govt

Have you ever actually been to Cuba?

Of course he has. 4cc is an all time expert/grandmaster when it comes to anything hispanic/latin/whoever speaks spanish related topics. He even knows how to say princess in spanish, after I helped him.

Those are the guys in Bermuda, I was thinking these were the ones in in Palau. I'm not sure if the ones slated for Palau are there yet.

Either way it's pretty fucked up. Maybe Obama will visit afghanistan again and literally piss in the face of the troops there to top it off.

Why is it fucked up?

The Bush administration concluded the Uighurs were not terrorists.

It's fucked up from a PR standpoint. I'm not saying they deserved to be imprisoned or that they are terrorists but a beachfront home in paradise, frolicking in the waves and eating ice cream meanwhile our guys get paid damn near minimum wage to risk their lives and when they return they don't get shit. That's fucked up.

Obama should spend a little less time worrying about Alqaeda recruitment and give a little thought to US military recruitment.

Those pictures are the politicians fault for not having the intestinal fortitude to have these guys in the US. They could easily be opening up some restaurant in some city in the middle of nowhere. They did 7 years of unjustified time and now they're getting what they deserve.

The PR nightmare was to have them imprisoned for 7+ years without any access to any form of justice.

People were wrongly imprisoned for 7 fucking years and you think the real PR problem is that they're not suffering once they get out?

lol

I'm pretty sure if you SOMEHOW managed to get over there, there's no FBI agent reading this thread ready to bust you.

Of course, I didn't get to mingle with any fine-ass Cuban women, because I was at GTMO... didn't feel like trying to get past barbed wires, armed guards and minefields :lol
Oh, Gee!!
