It's already happened.

A New York woman was killed in a terrorist attack at the U.S. Embassy in Sana, Yemen, in September. And U.S. counterterrorism officials have now confirmed that Said Ali al-Shihri, 35, who was released from the Guantanamo Bay prison center in 2007, is the deputy leader of Al Qaeda in that Mideast country and is a suspect in the attack.

State Department officials have identified Susan Elbaneh, 18, of Lackawanna, N.Y., as one of at least 16 people — including her Yemeni husband — who died in the coordinated strike.

Yup,

We should have closed GITMO a long time ago, and turned it into a cemetary.

Obama (Barry Soetoro) does not care what happens to Americans, for he just wants to rule the world.

I think he certainly does care what happens to Americans, but it is hardly benign. He wants you all subjugated to the will of Allah, or dead.

Nothing else can explain his actions and behaviors since taking office. This is not the work of a President who wants to win a war against terror or terrorists.
