We can’t afford to give terrorists a one-way ticket back to the battlefield
TheHill.com ^ | 23 August 2016 | House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas)

Posted on 08/23/2016 7:46:58 PM PDT by Rockitz

Last week the Obama Administration approved its largest-ever release of detainees from Guantanamo Bay, sending 15 extremists back into the world.

By now, the pattern has become familiar: the President lets hardened terrorists go free, Congress and the American people express outrage, and the White House ignores the uproar.

But the grave risks of this policy cannot be ignored. The President is giving terrorists a one-way ticket back to the battlefield.

In fact, officials have confirmed to Congress that some former detainees are responsible for attacking or killing Americans since being freed. Yet, incredibly, the releases persist.

Not only does the President’s rush to open Gitmo’s jail cells allow fighters to keep waging war against us, it also gives the jihadist A-team a chance to mentor a new generation of radicals.

“Outrageous” hardly describes the non-logic of this policy. What Commander-in-Chief lets the enemy return to the fight in the middle of a war?

...

Nearly 700 inmates have been released from Gitmo, and more than 200 have returned to the fight or are suspected of doing so, according to the Director of National Intelligence. And that’s just who we know about.

Doesn’t even deserve to be called president. How about worst traitor ever? Should have been hung years ago, before he could cause so much damage. And what about the completely complacent Congress and Senate, letting him do whatever he wanted, pretty much unchallenged?

Obama wants to close the Guantanamo prison and give the base to the Castro crime syndicate. He doesn’t really care what the detainees do after they are released - he just wants to get them out of there!

Sure we can. I wonder if they get $20 and a suit, also.

Wonder what the Castro Bros have on him.

I wonder who DOESN’T have the goods on Billary. I think everyone EXCEPT the American sheeple.

Just think of how many more innocent people have been slaughtered by 200+ terrorists released from Guantanamo to "return to the fight." And the true number getting back to terrorism is probably much higher, since we probably don't hear about a lot of them.....

It’s a bad day in America when only half the people have any idea that their own president is working for the enemy. It’s even worse when the same half can’t see the correlation of the president trying to remove 2nd Amendment rights while he attempts to import over 100,000 potential terrorists and hands them the means to develop a nuclear weapon capable of devastating whole cities.

Since when did we release POWs when the war was still going on?

Should give Islamic terrorists one-way, expense-paid trip home, dropped from 25-30K feet.

"Wonder what the Castro Bros have on him.

In Obama's case, I don't think they have to have anything on him - he's a true believer. But Billary - yes, I think you're right, everyone (except us dummy American citizens) probably has the goods on them.

By the way, agree with the sentiments of both your screen name and your tag line.
