President Obama again said on Tuesday that Gitmo (a.k.a. the Guantanamo Bay Resort and Spa or GBRS) was a “recruiting tool” for Al Qaeda. RedStateVT’s usual reaction to this type of talk is: “SO WHAT!” The Obama crowd continues to bend U.S. foreign policy through the lens of what the rest of the world thinks. On further reflection, however, we now wonder whether there is really some truth to the statement. Perhaps Al Qaeda is using the prospect of a trip to Gitmo as an incentive for potential jihadists. Let’s consider the following comparison:
Afghanistan: brutal winters and oppressively hot summers.
GBRS: tropical breezes.
Afghanistan: sleep on cave floor.
GBRS: sleep on fluffy mattress.
Afghanistan: one meal of leftover goat per day, maybe.
GBRS: three squares per day.
Afghanistan: no health care.
GBRS: first class American health care.
Afghanistan: high chance you are going to die.
GBRS: almost no chance you are going to die.
To paraphrase Rush Limbaugh: “Gitmo is your tropical oasis from the rigors of jihad!”
