Obama administration moves to suspend Gitmo trials (Hey America, you elected a terrorist supporter)
yahoo ^ | 1/21/2009 | BEN FOX, Associated Press Writer

Military judges will consider Wednesday whether to halt the Guantanamo war crimes trials after President Barack Obama ordered prosecutors to request a 120-day suspension during a review of the system used to try suspected terrorists.

The motions, filed just hours after Obama's inauguration, will be heard in the cases of five men charged in the Sept. 11 attacks and of Canadian Omar Khadr, who is accused of killing an American soldier with a grenade in Afghanistan in 2002.

Obama has said he will close the military detention center in Cuba, where the U.S. holds about 245 men, and he had been expected to halt the widely criticized war-crimes trials created by former President George W. Bush and Congress in 2006.

Good job, braindead voters. O-Bama-A. O-Bam-A. There are a lot of voters not paying enough attention that they let a cult figure get elected.

BO just needs his own 9/11 to show off his heroism. He’s engineering one right now. Stay tuned

Obama basically told the families of the victims of 9/11 and troops fighting the terrorist that he supports the known and confessed terrorist more than them.

We need to start a list of his poor decisions before they become too numerous to easily recall. This is one of them for sure.

At what point would the military commit mutiny if Obama really stretched his power as CiC and demanded the military do something that is obviously against our nation?

I’m just asking for curiosity sake. My stepfather, the retired Air Force sargent, is so disgusted with Obama that I can’t take him seriously because if it were up to him he would be on trial for court martial because of the eligibility issue.

Other Military Freepers opinions?

It won't be a mutiny from the military but when people start getting sick and tired of his treasonous acts they will turn on him. When this happens, some black people will accuse white people of racism against “their President” and that will begin a whole new crisis.

Number of days remaining, that DEAR LEADER needs to match in keeping us safe from being attacked as compared the time President Bush did.

This administration will be a first class disaster. Its not a light at the end of the tunnel but a freight train heading our way.

He doesn’t need the military, he already has his so-called domestic security force in the form of a well funded “movement.”

“When this happens, some black people will accuse white people of racism against “their President” and that will begin a whole new crisis. “

It’s already happening. When people criticize Obama, it’s not because of his policies, but because you must be racist and don’t like him just because he’s black.

This will create a crisis like never before I believe.
