`Wij zijn Geplakt' met Guantanamo, zegt de Poorten

Maandag, 26 Mei, 2008

gitmo2.jpgDe Secretaresse van de defensie Robert M. Poorten, die vorig jaar zei zou hij manieren zoeken om te sluiten De Baai van Guantanamo de militaire gevangenis, heeft het de defensiesubcomité verteld van de Kredieten van de Senaat dat zijn inter-agency inspanning aan een „stilstand“ is gebracht door wat hij een „ernstig niet-in-mijn-achter-yard probleem.“ riep

Daar bovengenoemde de poorten zijn „ongeveer 70 gevangenen ″ die de Verenigde Staten bereid zijn om terug naar geboorteland te sturen. Maar die overheden zullen „of hen niet goedkeuren of wij vrezen dat de huisoverheid hen los zal laten zodra wij hen.“ terugkeren

Maken dat echter naar bodemschatten zoekt was De V.S. militair' saankondiging dat één van de mensen die een zelfmoordbom in Mosoel plaatsten, Irak, deze maand als Abdallah Salih al-Ajmi, Kuwaiti werd geïdentificeerdt die in Afghanistan werd gevangen, werd gestuurd naar Guantanamo en in 2005 na drie jaar daar werd bevrijd. Al-Ajmi werd vrijgegeven toen hij naar huis terugkeerde.

„Wat u met dat onherleidbare 70 of 80 doen, of wat er ook het aantal is, dat los niet kan worden gelaten maar niet naar huis geladen en niet?“ verzonden Gevraagde poorten.

Zoekend dat antwoordt, zei hij hij aan leden van Congres had gesproken, Procureur General Michael B. Mukasey en andere het beleidsambtenaren van Bush. „ik heb om het even wie niet wie wil dat deze terroristen worden geplaatst in een gevangenis in hun huisstaat,“ hij zei gevonden.

Het resultaat, zei hij, „is dat wij“ met de Baai van Guantanamo geplakt zijn.

Poorten en Admiraal Michael Mullen, voorzitter van Gezamenlijke Leiders van Personeel, besprak ook fiscale 2009 De Afdeling van de defensie begroting in hun verschijning vóór het subcomité.

In antwoord op een vraag van Voorzitter Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaï), erkende Mullen dat de „ononderbroken escalatie“ van $180 miljard in kosten verbonden aan loon, voordelen en gezondheidszorg voor de all-volunteer actief-plicht en de reserve strijdkrachten „niet goed voor militairen van deze grootte.“ voorspelt

„Er zijn grenzen die wij zullen raken wat, in de beperkingen die bestaan, ons aan kleinere militair zal dwingen of ons vanaf om het even welk soort modernisering of programma's dat wij voor de toekomst nodig hebben, of inkort verrichtingen zal dwingen,“ bovengenoemde Mullen.

Gates called the rising cost of health care “one area that not only concerns us but where we believe we have to get under control.” He said the Defense Department’s health-care costs went from $19.5 billion in 2001 to the projected $42.8 billion sought for next year. Within that figure, he said, are military retirees, who are eligible, along with family members, for Tricare medical and dental programs.

Gates said that by fiscal 2011, “65 percent of the people being served by [the Pentagon’s health-care] budget will be retirees.”

When it was begun in 1995, Tricare Prime had annual enrollment fees of $230 for a single retiree or $460 for a family. Many retirees are in good health and are often working in other jobs, and premiums have not increased since the program started.

Gates said there is a $1 billion shortage in the Pentagon’s proposed fiscal 2009 health-care budget that it hopes to fill with a small increase in premiums for younger retirees.

Veterans groups and others so far have succeeded in persuading Congress not to approve the price hike. Gates said a Tricare premium increase for retirees could help slow rising health costs “without impinging on those who are in the service today.”

Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-S.D.) asked Gates why the United States will still be paying $2.5 billion to train and equip Iraqi security forces next year, when the Baghdad government will earn $70 billion from oil exports this year. Gates replied that U.S. support has dropped each year as the Iraqis have paid more. But he added that by paying something, the United States can continue to keep an eye on the progress of Iraqi security forces.

“We need to scale this gradually . . . so we can keep an oar in, in terms of the quality and in terms of making sure that the training is of the kind that we’d want,” he said.

He added that although the Pentagon continues to provide Iraq with U.S. weapons and equipment, it is gradually moving Iraq to buy those same arms from American suppliers.
