Palau has accepted the Obama administration’s offer of $200 million to bring 17 trained al-Qaeda terrorists to their island nation. The government in Palau announced this morning that they would agree to it as a gesture of friendship to the US for all of our assistance to them. They also don’t mind doubling their GDP this year: This is just about pathetic. We spent $200 Million to build a perfectly good facility in Cuba. Now, we're having to pay off Palau -- a tiny, god-forsaken group of islands which most Americans never heard of -- to take them. It isn't really the money. Just the very idea that we would pay off these islands -- again (we "used" them previously during WWII as staging areas for the Pacific war for attacks on Okinawa and others). Now, we come calling again when we can't find another place on earth to put these guys. What actually happened here is that we paid $200M to be able to bring these terrorists to a remote island in the Pacific and release them. The $200M is compensation for Palau's president to say, "Yes, yes, we'd love to have them."
