Obama To Release More Gitmo Prisoners In Defiance Of Trump

President Obama has ignored calls by Donald Trump to halt the transfer of the 59 remaining prisoners from Guantanamo Bay and plans to release a third of them before he leaves office.

Mr Obama campaigned in 2008 on a promise to close the prison, which is located on a US naval base in southeastern Cuba, and which he called a recruiting tool for extremists. It has been controversial since it was opened in 2002 by President Bush Jr because of its extrajudicial practices and alleged use of torture.

Mr Trump has vowed to keep the prison open and “load it up with some bad dudes”. He tweeted on Tuesday: “There should be no further releases from Gitmo. These are extremely dangerous people and should not be allowed back on to the battlefield.”

Trump: “There should be no further releases from Gitmo. These are extremely dangerous people and should not be allowed back on to the battlefield.”

Obama “There should be further releases from Gitmo. These are extremely dangerous people and should be allowed back on to the battlefield.”

Hopefully nobody is still under the delusion that Obama loves, or even likes, America. Every move this guy makes is against the citizens of the U.S.

Trump can stop this in 30 seconds. He should send out a tweet that says “Any country the takes detainees from
Gitmo will have their relationship with the US severely impacted”. End of story and end of transfers.

Simple solution, send in special forces to take out these newly released terrorists, bring back the bodies, and dump the bodies off at Obama’s ill-gotten mansions.

He has had plenty of GOP help.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation could not have happened without them.

Or, let Mad Dog make a few phone calls suggesting the officers in charge drag their feet executing the order

Temporary detention of Obama apparatchicks on site might be in order also. Incommunicado

Let’s hope everybody involved gives it the slow roll until Trump gets into office. Hopefully Trump will cancel it.
