Club Gitmo East
First Sergeant Paul Joseph and the 983rd Engineer Battalion
Camp Ramadi, Iraq, which has now been renamed Club G'itmo East.
Deanne Stillman wrote on the Huffington Post:
Rush Limbaugh has turned Guantanamo Bay into a fraternity prank - which is no surprise because that's how he characterized the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. In case you've missed the latest hijinx, he's selling a line of Club Gitmo items such as T-shirts, mugs, and caps with guffaw-producing slogans like "Your Tropical Retreat from the Stress of Jihad," "I got my free Koran and prayer rug at Gitmo," and "What happens in Gitmo stays in Gitmo." Well, he's right about that - but he thinks that's funny, not a problem..."Due to the extraordinary demand for Gitmo merchandise," Limbaugh's site says, "shipment of overnight and 2nd day orders will be delayed for 2-4 days." What are you doing with the money, Rush? What's your purpose in life?
It appears that what Stillman refers to as a tasteless "fraternity prank" appeals to at least some of our troops in Iraq.
Perhaps they get the joke that flies right over Stillman's self-proclaimed enlightened head.
GITMO IS NO GULAG.
These men don't appreciate it when the Dems and supposedly apolitical human rights organizations cast the U.S. military in the same light as the staff of death camps.
