GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba -- Military judges on Wednesday will consider motions by the Obama administration to suspend the Guantanamo war crimes trials for 120 days during a review of the system for prosecuting suspected terrorists.

The motions, filed late Tuesday at the direction of President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, will be heard in the cases of five men charged in the Sept. 11 attacks and of Canadian Omar Khadr, who is accused of killing an American soldier with a grenade in Afghanistan in 2002....

...Relatives of victims of the Sept. 11 attacks, who were also at the base to observe the hearings, have said they oppose any further delay in the trials of the men charged in the case.

Hey, Retired Army, the safest place will be the White House.

Why? Because the Izzlamists will not hurt one hair on the head of their best friend who lives in the W.H.

“I’m already pissed off.”

I am getting more than pissed off today watching Obama and the dems in ‘action’! Here they are plotting behind the scenes to bring President Bush to trial for fabricated ‘war crimes’...but today they halt all the trials for the 911 terrorists and seek to bring their filthy dark souls to America, give them the rights of an American citizen, pay for their lawyers and set them free in our country if they ‘get off’ on a technicality.

Stunning and EVIL!

Except the liberal DC police have so neutered the constitutional right to protect oneself, you’d be more likely to see the terrorists take over Washington DC...

...not that they haven’t already...

In my opinion they offically did yesterday, January 20, 2009.

The inmates are now running the assylum.

The problem is that the 9/11 families are US citizens. The administration is only worried about terrorists and foreigners interests now.

What is everyone surprised!? He promised to do this. Voted for change. Got the change. My bet is that some of these African Moslems are related to him. Wouldn’t that be a kicker that some of the Git Turds are related to Hussein Obama.

Speaking of that, the year following the Presidential elections had big disasters.
1997-Strongest El Nino
2001-9/11 Terrorist Attack
2005-Hurricane Katrina
2009-?

Also, there were strings of shark attacks and trite news in the summer of 2001.
