As we know, one of President Obama’s campaign pledges, along with a re-distribution of wealth and the “skyrocketing” of energy costs, was the closing of the Terrorist Detention and Recreation facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Many schemes were proposed; moving the POWs to a stateside facility, having them tried in US courts instead of the appropriate military tribunals, etc. etc. But in an amazing show of courage, Congress would not go along and an Executive Order seemed a bit over the top, even for this president, so Guantanamo remains operational.

What to do? If the facility couldn’t be closed, at least it could be emptied. Designed to accommodate 700 visitors, “good behavior” releases has whittled the number remaining down to about 135.

Among those Islamic terrorists turned loose was a “rehabilitated” Saudi national named Ibrahim al-Rubaysh. Oops! Seems like Ol’ Ibrahim really hadn’t turned over a new leaf after all! The State Department has now designated Ibrahim al-Rubaysh a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist,” and wants him back. In fact, the Obama Administration wants him back so badly that it has posted a $5 million reward for information that could lead to al-Rubaysh’s re-capture. But it gets even better. The prize is just a part of a $45 million pot offered by the State Department’s “Rewards for Justice Program,” with some of al-Rubaysh’s buddies being worth up to $10 million each!

With only two more years left for the President to be “more flexible,” the pace for release needed to be stepped up a bit. You know the story. Mr. Obama exchanged five (5) of the most senior Islamic Jihadists for the return of one alleged deserter, Sgt. Bowe Bergdhal.

But it seems like the wheels are coming off the deal...

You can’t give Gitmo to Fidel unless its empty.

Just wait and see.
