Gitmo detainees sent to Bermuda
And I ask myself WHY?
- An executive order signed to close Guantanamo Bay without a plan of action.
- Americans do not want them in their back-yard.
Then why should any island in the Caribbean extend an olive branch??????
Bermuda Premier Ewart Brown said, “It was the right thing to do.” The right thing for who? You. The Premier did not consult with Britain (which handles Bermuda’s defense).
The islanders of Bermuda are angry and outraged, and who could blame them.
Dozens unleashed their anger on the Facebook page of a local paper, The Royal Gazette.
“Our Island is struggling at this present time with shootings, gangs … and road fatalities. These are the issues we need to focus on, not where are we going to house Guantanamo Bay Chinese Muslims which inevitably we as taxpayers will be supporting,” one entry said.
I wonder how much it took for the Premier to sell his soul?
I only hope that this does not spread to other islands in the Caribbean, especially Trinidad. The last thing Trinidad & Tobago needs is this.
