Obama Sends Gitmo Detainees Home

While you were busy with holiday preparations and screaming in horror as the Politburo met behind close doors to wreck the health care system; Obama quietly returned twelve Gitmo detainees to their homelands.

“The US has transferred 12 detainees from its Guantanamo Bay prison camp to Afghanistan, Yemen and the Somaliland region, the Justice Department says. Six Yemenis, four Afghans and two Somali detainees were sent to their homelands over the weekend, it said.

President Barack Obama acknowledged in November that he would miss his January deadline to close down the camp.

The US plans to send 116 detainees to their home countries or to third countries willing to accept them.”

Third countries willing to accept them? Might this be a bit open ended?

Merry Christmas from the White House.

Did they get a ride in first-class at the taxpayers expense?
Just in time for them to catch up with their jihadist brothers and sisters for the “Holidays”.

Obama believes under his rules of engagement its catch and release.... actually, we shouldnt have caught them in the first place. Should have shot them dead as those are what the circumstances warranted. But in Obamas rules of engagement its not correct to shoot them neither. Under any circumstances. We cant harm his brothers.

Military prison for with 10 years of labor would have been the best. Let them watch American TV in their idle hours....
