Count the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman among those who believe its in the national interest to close the Guantánamo Bay detention center.
Army Gen. Martin Dempsey said the facility at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba does create a psychological scar on our national values. Whether it should or not, it does.

Dempsey seems to be nothing but an amplifier for Obama's foreign policy.

No, the Obama Regime and all of its functionaries create a scar and are a tumor on the body politic that is killing the country. The General should resign in shame for his role in carrying Obama’s piss.

Better a scar than the open, festering wound of continued unfettered freedom for those vermin to rape and kill.

I wonder whose “national values” he’s talking about.

Only two kinds of generals in Obama’s army.
A*s kissers, and retired.

I watched the beginning of Dempsey’s interview with Chris Wallace Sunday, but had to change channels after about five minutes. He did not sound like a military leader who is interested in protecting his nation. He sounded like a politician trying to justify Obama’s incompetence/intentions.

What a useless entity the US Army has become.

What exactly are they talking about?
Closing the detention center ONLY? In other words, the naval base remains in full force?
Or, more sinisterly, leaving everything and giving the land to Cuber?

I believe that 0bama will not only close the detention center but turn the entire facility over to the Castro brothers. While I’m making predictions, he will also pardon the cop-killer Mumia abu Jamal.

Mouthpiece, yes-man, towing the line and puppet of the Obama administration. Too bad a neutered JC of Staff is the biggest wus since William Cohen (Clintoon). All the good generals with half a spine are gone now, just as the President required.

. . . so did the WTC towers when they fell, gen. dempsey. . . .
To: SoFloFreeper
Just because those that support terrorism like obama and the democrat party want it closed does not mean should.
To: SoFloFreeper
Can’t figure out if Dempsey is just an idiot who was good at climbing the military career ladder, an Obama dupe, or both.
In any case, I can’t stomach looking at him or listening to him. It’s like listening to that idiot in the White House. He is his sock puppet.

does create a psychological scar on our national values. I didn't realize that General Dempsey had been put in charge of determining what our national values are.
