Democrats (& Ron Paul) Side With Terrorists, Vote To Bring Gitmo Prisoners To US

From Sgt. Tim Sumner at 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America, the latest chapter in how the Democrats are on the side of al-Queda.
Yesterday, 223 House Democrats (and Ron Paul) voted down a motion to recommit H.R. 2892. In effect, they voted:

1) to bring Guantanamo al Qaeda detainees into the U.S., 2) to delete the requirement that all detainees who once were or currently are being held at Gitmo be placed on the Department of Homeland Security’s ‘no-fly’ list, and 3) to delete this additional requirement: “the Secretary of Homeland Security shall conduct a threat assessment for each such individual who is proposed to be transferred to the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, or the United States Territories.”

President Barack Obama and his administration applauded the House vote:

The Obama White House hailed a House vote Thursday to defeat a GOP-led effort to block the transfer of any Guantanamo Bay detainee to US soil — even for prosecution. “This was the most important legislative vote out there and it gives us a sense of victory,” said a senior administration official close to White House deliberations on closing the detention facility.

(Victory? Hurray! President Obama finally knows how to define victory.)

So while the President doddles and our soldiers die, Democrats waste no time to help the al-Queda terrorists at Gitmo come into this nation, regarless of the safety and security of our citizens.

Feel safer now?
