As much blood the Democrats have on their hands, they won’t notice this much more.

And there’s more where he came from:

ABU DHABI // Five prisoners released from Guantanamo Bay to the UAE will not be placed under 24-hour supervision but will have to report regularly to police.

Since they are from Yemen, it’s just a hop skip and jump across Oman to get there from the UAE.

He is AQ operative who had a close relationship with Bin Laden. Put him against the wall and shoot him.

Our Commander-in-Chief (such as he is) is ideologically committed to closing the facility at Guantanamo Bay.

If that means a few innocent people murdered by terrorists, well, that is a price that he is apparently willing to pay, in order to keep his 2008 campaign pledge...

“Put him against the wall and shoot him.”
