The president promised to close the prison at Guantanamo Nava Base nearly every day of his campaign. He was promising to close Gitmo on his first day in office and promised to prosecute the prisoners or detainees or turn them loose, after evaluating each case individually. The Liberals were ecstatic, on the campaign trail, the Liberals were comparing Obama to The Great Emancipator Lincoln.
On his second day in office, he signed a law that was meant to close Gitmo in one year. Liberals were dismayed by the sudden delay of closure, but disappointment was expressed in hushed tones.
One of the major differences between reality and campaign rhetoric was inflicted on the Obama administration almost daily; the question of what to do with these prisoners, Liberals assumed they were misguided juvenile delinquents that eventually could be absorbed into the American fabric of life, meanwhile, in the world of reality, they had become a real problem not a campaign cliche.
The prisoners who were more like psychopathic homicidal maniacs instead of the Muslim Freedom Fighting Boy Scouts portrayed by Larry King, Nancy Pelosi, and Obama now were a serious problem. Releasing them to the Middle East saw them quickly reverting back to their old habits of trying to kill American Patriots, after being promoted to leadership positions. Yet paying millions to house them in resort areas like Bermuda, tends to enrage Americans who seem headed for an ever deepening recession or possibly a depression, despite White House assurances that the recession is over.
Americans dont want the Muslim Boy Scout Terrorists in their home state prisons, Governors and Senators have said No to housing them in their state prisons; this NIMBY (not in my back yard) reasoning is based on common sense rather than emotional Liberal grandstanding, since prison is a major source of Jihadist recruitment. The Governor who unleashes a wave of Muslim Terrorism on his state after agreeing to be a bend over sycophant for Obama will soon find himself the victim of a home state uprising.

Turns out that Gitmo was a thoughtful and insightful solution to a thorny problem. Back when the adults were in charge.
Excellent!
One issue that I hear very little about is what happens to the new prisoners who are caught in the future? Obama makes it sound like the prison population is static. The fact is that we will be canpturing more AQ in the future. I guess we will be bringing them back here for incarceration and trial.
Dems are never called to task on their statements that they make by the MSM!
No surprise here. Would have been speechless if zero and his admin actually kept a promise or told the truth. My skin crawls when I hear Obama, Biden, Geitner, Holder, Axelrod, Michelle (and the lot of them) ...
