When Castro dies and his brother is thrown out of power, then we should move, and again maybe that would be a good time for us to close Guantanamo.
Dana Rohrabacher
The Public Record
Dana Rohrabacher is a former U.S. Representative for California's 48th congressional district, serving from 1989 to 2019. A member of the Republican Party, he is known for his libertarian views and strong support for the tech industry. During his time in Congress, Rohrabacher was an advocate for various issues, including technology innovation and foreign policy matters, particularly regarding Taiwan and its democratic governance. He often emphasized the importance of individual liberties and limited government intervention.
More people, their human rights are violated in China than anywhere else in the world.
the fact is that it is a hard core dictatorship, and our President I don't even think should be visiting that country
They believe in yoga and meditation, they are a threat to no one, and yet they are being slaughtered in the secret jail cells throughout China.
This resolution will make sure that we put everybody on notice that this is not going to be ignored anymore.
If we close Guantanamo now, the fact is every terrorist in the world will look at it as a victory for them over the United States.
Let me just note, we have a lot of these--there are countries all over the world right now.
I think today we are launching a dialogue on an issue that has just been ignored, although it has had dramatic impact on our world.
So sometimes we can do better than simply saying whatever the majority decides goes.
they do have a right to seek independence, and then it has to be managed in a way that it doesn't destabilize.
I think it is really about the democratic legitimacy, about the consent of the government.
It is disconcerting that the Executive Director of a major government program is unwilling to commit.
The Republicans I know are against any subsidies to oil and gas or anybody else.
I'm afraid the wording of this resolution will include--by including everyone that has been under attack in the Middle East we have diluted the fact that the Christians and Yezidis are specifically targeted for genocide.
We are at war with radical Islam terrorism under ISIL, which we have just now discussed in great detail.
I think this resolution, while of course well intended and I certainly recognize that, makes about as much sense as in 1942 demanding that we have to have a resolution condemning Joe Stalin and the Communist Party in Russia.
Obviously, the Christians from those countries and the Yezidis from those countries are targets of genocide.
When we take the Government of Syria, which yes, has committed atrocities against its people, when we take that in the middle of the war against ISIL we are undermining the fight against ISIL.
Are you unable to say radical Islamic terrorism, as our President is unable to say?
For us to not have made a decision and that we're making the decision but that decision hasn't been made yet is unacceptable.
It's time for America to act and the excuse that we've got to study it, we got to ask the lawyers what the wording is, is this really preference or not, is unacceptable.
It is disheartening when a member of--when a representative of our Government can't say radical Islamic terrorism and at the same time can't make a decision whether Christians are being targeted for genocide.
