Getting a leg up on the rest of us

I know, some of you think Ann Coulter should not be allowed in polite society. However, I’m not particularly concerned with being polite to terrorists, and neither is she. Here’s a bit, but the whole thing is hysterically, sadly funny, and well worth reading.

I thought the rest of the world was going to love us if we elected B. Hussein Obama! Somebody better tell the Indian Muslims. As everyone but President-elect B. Hussein Obama’s base knows, many of the Guantanamo detainees cannot be sent to their home countries, cannot be released and cannot be tried. They need to be held in some form of extra-legal limbo the rest of their lives, sort of like Phil Spector.

And now they’re Obama’s problem.

If Obama wants his detention of Islamic terrorists to be dramatically different from Bush’s Guantanamo, my suggestion is that he cut off — so to speak — the expensive prosthetic limb procedures now being granted the detained terrorists.

Far from being sodomized and tortured by U.S. forces — as Obama’s base has wailed for the past seven years — the innocent scholars and philanthropists being held at Guantanamo have been given expensive, high-tech medical procedures at taxpayer expense. If we’re not careful, multitudes of Muslims will be going to fight Americans in Afghanistan just so they can go to Guantanamo and get proper treatment for attention deficit disorder and erectile dysfunction.

After being captured fighting with Taliban forces against Americans in 2001, Abdullah Massoud was sent to Guantanamo, where the one-legged terrorist was fitted with a special prosthetic leg, at a cost of $50,000-$75,000 to the U.S. taxpayer. Under the Americans With Disabilities Act, Massoud would now be able to park his car bomb in a handicapped parking space!

No, you didn’t read that wrong, because the VA won’t pay for your new glasses. I said $75,000. I would have gone with hanging at sunrise, but what do I know?

Upon his release in March 2004, Massoud hippity-hopped back to Afghanistan and quickly resumed his war against the U.S. Aided by his new artificial leg, just months later, in October 2004, Massoud masterminded the kidnapping of two Chinese engineers in Pakistan working on the Gomal Zam Dam project.

She follows up with a very funny send up of the news coverage on how this clown got his prosthetic leg, and on how no credit is given by US media or foreign media for the fact that he got it while in Guantanamo. But wait: they torture people there, right? Surely they aren’t doing humanitarian corrective surgery and prosthetic limb replacement? Maybe they just beat him after the surgery, to keep up their image.

If you can read her entire article without at least one bark of laughter, you’re made of sterner stuff than me.
