200 mil to care for Chinese muslims?

[Couzin]

Has this nation completely run off the rails - we are planning to give the island of Palau (a nation of 20,000), some 200 Million dollars to keep the 17 uighur (muslim) chinese that we don't want to send back to China because they will be possibly 'persecuted'? This country is not taking care of its own military personnel - and cares more about enemy combatants (terrorists). I say, drop em back into China - I don't give a rats behind.

The Obama administration has been negotiating actively with European and other governments to resettle 50 detainees, who it says are cleared for transfer. Since Mr. Obama took office, the United States has transferred one detainee to France and one to Britain. On Tuesday, it sent the first detainee to the United States to face charges in federal court.

The United States has pledged $200 million in long-term development aid to Palau. But a senior State Department official flatly denied it was a quid pro quo for the detainee deal.

Palau is known more for its tropical scenery and scuba diving than for its involvement in international politics. But despite its tiny size, it is diverse, with Philippine and Chinese populations. The Uighurs, some say, could do a lot worse for themselves.

“What they will encounter in Palau is paradise,” said Stuart Beck, an American lawyer who is Palau’s permanent United Nations representative. “From the time the first British vessel hit a reef in Palau in 1783, it has welcomed refugees.”

Barry has pulled another boner by closing down Gitmo.

I got My "C-Card" back in the '80's.. Palau is one of those Wonder Dream Dive destinations I could never afford, Who says being a murdering terrorist doesn't pay...

If we can't find a nation to take them for free then drop them in the middle of the ocean and let them swim for land.

 

[vn6869]

I agree they should be sent to paradise, just not on this earth :wacko:
