Senates Votes to Keep Terrorists Out of USA, But Obama Insists
In a rare, bipartisan defeat for President Barack Obama, the Senate voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to keep the prison at Guantanamo Bay open for the foreseeable future and forbid the transfer of any terrorists to the USA or prisons in the USA.
Democrats lined up with Republicans in the 90-6 vote that came on the heels of a similar move a week ago in the House, underscoring widespread apprehension among Obama's congressional allies over voters' strong feelings about bringing detainees to the U.S. from the prison in Cuba. However Obama continues to insist he's transferring some of the terrorists here despite pleas to the contrary. Let's hope there's not another attack, or his "turn the other cheek" policies are going to seem suicidal. See Chick's WHO CARES?
