[quote]The White House is expressing frustration at two GOP senators who have admitted using a procedural tactic to stall the nomination of a fellow Republican, Rep. John McHugh of New York, as secretary of the Army.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates voiced disappointment through his spokesman Tuesday.

Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell told POLITICO: “The secretary is very disappointed. We are fighting two wars at once, and the service that is bearing the biggest burden is the Army. So it needs and deserves this leadership. ... We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Congressman McHugh.â€

All while whining about the removal of Gitmo prisoners to super max prisons in the US.

For God sakes we kept Nazis in prisons on US grounds. They can handle some ragged terrorists who can't blend into the native population, don't know the standard local customs or speak the language very well.

Well you see, prison walls aren't perfectly solid (empty space between atoms and such) and may even be macroscopically porous. Thus, by jihad osmosis, a prison cell with a high concentration of... brown-ness will attempt to equalize with lily-white America.

If they're in Cuba equilibrium has already been achieved.
