Empty words for a near-impossible task. You can't imprison "enemy non-combatants" on American mainland nor can you commit political suicide by deporting them to their home country.

What's even the point of promising this? What undecided voter is dying on this hill?

Its not intended to win over voters who are undecided between republican and democrat, its trying to win over those who are undecided between democrat and not voting or protest voting.

whether or not it was effective, I have my doubts.

Who even cares at this point? They're trying to buy complicity in the extermination of millions of Palestinians for a half dozen prisoners? What is happening in DC?

this promise was made before most americans could point to palestine on a map. also washington isn't known for being in touch with what the people really want.

Not even necessary, Isn'traeli prisons will do the trick, and they're more akin to a much worse Abu Ghraib.

They're going to set up shop in Nauru, obviously

At this point it must be to taunt us.
