Four-Star "Gulag"

Thank God for California Congressman Duncan Hunter, and the desperately needed perspective he brought to an "abuse" debate so clogged with left-wing propaganda BS that the metaphorical bowl was about to back up and overflow. For it appears that, in reality, Guantanamo, far from being a "concentration camp," is being run like a bleeping Marriot:

After Representative Duncan Hunter's eye-opening description of how terrorist suspects are living high on the hog at the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, prisoners from around the world will no doubt be clamoring for a 'gulag' cell of their own.

Appearing on Fox News Sunday, the House Armed Services Committee chairman began by detailing tonight's dinner menu at Gitmo - which all detainees, including one suspected of being involved in the 9/11 plot, will enjoy.

"For Sunday they're going to be having Orange Glazed Chicken, Fresh Fruit Roupee, Steamed Peas and Mushrooms, Rice Pilaf - we treat them very well," he told Fox.

Last night, Hunter said, the U.S. "torture victims" enjoyed the same kind of gourmet fare, including an entree of "Lemon-baked Fish."

What would "abuse" constitute under such pampered conditions? Paper napkins as opposed to cloth ones? No moist towelettes? Cool Whip on their desert in lieu of whipped cream? French's mustard in place of Grey Poupon?

Well, according to Congress' definition, it would include feeding this terrorist scum the same meals provided to our own soldiers in the field:

On the other hand, feeding the detainees MREs, the standard fare given to our troops on the front lines, is strictly verboten - considered an "abuse" under restrictions imposed by Congress, Hunter said.

Do you realize these psychopaths have almost certainly never had it any better in their whole miserable lives? And that they would blow it all off if it meant slaughtering every American in Gitmo, escaping from Cuba, and returning to the jihad? As the old adage teaches, "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride."

Maybe the idea is to make the "detainees" soft. But the worst part is, of course, that we're indulging to appalling excess far more than just their stomachs:

The top House Republican also noted that the religious practices of the terrorist suspects held at the U.S. "gulag" are scrupulously accommodated, explaining:

"We give them honey and dates when they break fast at Ramadan. We give them prayer beads and prayer oil - all paid for [by the U.S. taxpayer.]

"In fact," he said, "if you did that for American GIs - if you had a call to prayer five times a day - the ACLU would sue on the basis that we violated the separation between church and state." [my emphasis]

These bastards aren't "detainees" or "torture victims"; they're f'ing welfare queens.

It's no wonder that they amuse themselves by "getting scatalogical" on their jailers. The weakness we show by lavishing such undeserved and unappreciated largesse on these jihadis cannot help but increase their contempt for us by leaps and bounds.

And to think that despite all this, we've even got Republican senators hand-wringingly bleating that Gitmo should be shut down and its inmates turned loose.

I could actually go along with that, if it meant that every last "guest" would get two complimentary bullets in the back of his head - which the Geneva Convention allows for captured illegal combatants. In the meantime, it almost makes me want to go out and firebomb a shopping mall, just to see how much mayhem one has to commit to get the dinner menu upgraded to 24-ounce New York steaks marinated in rich teriyaki sauce, steak fries with 1000 island dressing, and chocolate cheesecake for desert.

With my ethnicity, faith, nationality, and politics, it'd probably be a last meal.
