Another Kirk Gitmo Flip Flop Posted by Adam Blickstein

The only thing he's being consistent on is his inconsistency. Seems like after weeks of incendiary, obtuse and frankly incoherent rhetoric on Guantanamo Bay detainees and the probability of their transfer to the U.S. for trial and detention, Rep. Kirk has become more nuanced and thoughtful on the issue. The lede says it all:

What a difference a week makes.

Republican Congressman Mark Kirk now says he wants a "dispassionate and specific" discussion about the possibility of selling an Illinois prison to the federal government to house Guantanamo Bay detainees.

Make no mistake, Kirk still thinks it's an "unnecessary risk" to bring detainees to the nearly vacant Thomson Correctional Center in northwestern Illinois.

But now he's focused his concerns on how trials would happen for the detainees and how their medical care would be handled.

I hope someone gets Rep. Kirk a dictionary for Christmas cause how does anything he's said in the past sound dispassionate?

• "If your Administration brings Al Qaeda terrorists to Illinois, our state and the Chicago Metropolitan Area will become ground zero for Jihadist terrorist plots, recruitment and radicalization"
• "As home to America’s tallest building, we should not invite Al Qaeda to make Illinois its number one target,"
• "The policies that the president has chosen with regard to terrorist transfer are increasingly unpopular, and for those of us who oppose those policies we will find more and more allies the closer to an election we get"

So how does Kirk account for such disparate rhetoric on such a critical issue?

Kirk said much of his earlier rhetoric had to do with the fact that the federal interest in Thomson was "a rather surprise announcement" and that he was "going with the information that we had available."

Seems like a rather erratic response. Maybe he should have suspended his campaign, returned to Washington and stopped everything else in order to deal with this news. But Kirk is even wrong in his declaration retracting his earlier inflammatory rhetoric because the information we have available is pretty clear: the transfer of terror detainees to American soil will not threaten American lives nor will it turn Chicago into ground zero for jihad. What it will do is bring the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11to justice, something the previous President of Kirk's own party failed to do for nearly 8 years.

The bottom line is Kirk can barely have a "dispassionate and specific" conversation with himself on the best way to handle Guantanamo detainees. How can he have one with the people of Illinois let alone the rest of the country, not to mention those he desires to be his colleagues in the Senate?

Obviously missing are solar power and atomic timekeeping (radio setting), though for the price, I'm still impressed.Case construction is that of most G-Shocks: resin case, screwed stainless steel caseback, inset crosshatched buttons, integral raised bezel. The strap is an integrated, dual-tang thorn buckle, and is quite comfortable.One new feature on the GA-100s is the "speed" dial at 12 o'clock. You set a distance, then use the stop Breitling Replica Watches to measure times. Once you've done so, the dial indicates speed. Basically a tachometer, though digital and on a subdial instead of the bezel as normally seen. Might be useful for racing fans, coaches and the like.Also of note is the fact that the stop Breguet Replica Watches is unusual, measuring the ludicrously precise 1/1000th of a second up to 100 hours. Given human reflexes, I'm dubious as to how much of that precision is useful, but Jaeger LeCoultre Replica certainly quite cool and not commonly seen.On the wrist, the GA-100 is very comfortable. The light weight is spread across a larger area, reducing the already-light weight. The hands are easy to read at a glance, though the LCD panels are a bit more reflective than I'd like and take a bit more effort to read.Two overall comments: First, it's a G-Shock, meaning that functionally, it's impeccable. Bulletproof, inexpensive, functional, and reliable. Secondly, the size and bold colors will either appeal to your, or they won't, so make your decision based on whether you like it or not. At $99, it's an easy Gucci Replica Watchesh to recommend.Our thanks to Casio PR for the review unit.By Paul Hubbard; For updates on content, follow Concord Replica Watches Report on Twitter.

For those who have not used a 24-hour hand, it makes one full revolution of the dial over 24 hours which means that 12 pm is at 6 clock on the dial. This features allows you to track two timezones: one using the standard time hands, and the other using the GMT hand and the 24hr bezel. The bezel has a grippy coin edge and a light but clicky turn.The included bracelet is nice and light. Replica Casio Watches features solid end links (spring bars), and the outer links of the bracelet are screwed together. The clasp has a fold-over design with a signed safety. The bracelet is a perfect fit for the Replica Wittnauer Watches and integrates beautifully with the lugs. I will mention that the PVD on the bracelet is very light and after some considerable time on my wrists, there is noticeable wear. If PDV wear bothers you, go with the brushed/polished model instead (brushed on top and polished on the sides of the case).This is a Replica Vacheron Constantin that is up for just about any task and does so with little fuss or explanation. I wore it on a twelve day trip to San Francisco and Replica Ulysse Nardin Watches kept up perfectly. The Replica Zodiac Watches is light enough to be worn without consideration, classy enough to be worn with any attire, and with the GMT complication, it is a traveler's best friend. It's amazingly accurate; many days, it showed no deviance at all, and after a month, it is usually within +/-4 seconds.The G-1 starts at $549, which is an amazing price for a watch of this quality. Many other Replica Tommy Hilfiger Watches that feature this movement retail for hundreds to thousands more, and the G-1 is without a doubt the best design from OCEAN7 that we have reviewed to date. The model as reviewed is $599, and the buyer can choose from a series of bezel colors to suit either finish.OCEAN7 Watch Company have outdone themselves on the new G-1 GMT *** a very cool watch that doesn't sacrifice quality, features, looks, or everyday practicality; For updates on content, follow Watch Report on Twitter.
