re: #336 Conservative Moonbat

Yeah but why weren’t these people captured in 2002? Why have a bunch of nobodies been sitting in Gitmo all these years when these guys were out there running around? It makes it look like Bush/Cheney didn’t give a rat’s ass about Afghanistan and just wanted to move on to Iraq ASAP.

Many of them were not important 8 years ago. This has been a long conflict and is in a new stage.

The people in Gitmo are not “nobodies”, the unimportant ones have bee released or transferred. Those left are the hard core terrorists.
