Bush: "I'd like to Close Guantanamo Bay", them people are darned dangerous

President Bush said today that he would like to close down the Guantanamo Bay prison camp on Cuba, but for the fact that some of the terror suspects held there were too "darned dangerous" to release.

Speaking at a press conference in the White House Rose Garden the day after returning from a surprise trip to Baghdad, Mr Bush said that he realised the detention centre was an "excuse" for critics to claim that American was guilty of hypocrisy over its core values.

"I’d like to close Guantanamo," Mr Bush said. "But I also recognise that we’re holding some people that are darned dangerous, and that we’d better have a plan to deal with them in our courts.

"No question, Guantanamo sends, you know, a signal to some of our friends - provides an excuse, for example, to say, ’The United States is not upholding the values that they’re trying (to) encourage other countries to adhere to.’

3. Who does he think he's fooling?
we'd better have a plan to deal with them in our courts? Uh, okay, get back to us on that "plan" any day now. Just like the "plan" in Iraq, eh?

4. Or we can wait until they commit suicide or we can bomb where
the others are and before they die, we can beat them to death, so they can never testify against our leaders who have in the past, supported them and egged them on, only to use them when it benefits our glorious :sarcasm: leaders' plan to take over the World. :puke: bush is a Moran! He is a total embarrassment to Humanity
