President Obama assured relatives and victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the bombing of the USS Cole that he is keeping an open mind about how to handle the approximately 245 detainees held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, according to participants in an hour-long meeting yesterday at the White House.
The president met with about 40 family members and victims, who hold different views on his decision to close the prison in Cuba within a year. The exchange, which was sometimes passionate but never acrimonious, left some who were deeply skeptical of the administration's decision to suspend military commissions at Guantanamo Bay satisfied that the president has not yet decided to abolish the current system of prosecuting suspected terrorists.
Obama told the group that he was only hitting the "pause button" when he sought the suspension of proceedings against 21 detainees, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks. And he assured the group that he wants the swift prosecution of those responsible for the terrorist attacks and their facilitators.

So he will initiate prosecutions of the real terrorists, the Israeli aggressors who have committed terrorist acts against the innocent Palestinians in Gaza! As for the sailors killed on the USS Cole, well, you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs.
He has no business being in the White House period. The only thing he is qualified for is dog catcher and I am not even sure about that
The man is such a liar.
If he isn’t the anti Christ then he is the next thing to it.
See my new tag line.
Never acrimonious? LoL
Some flat out told him to go to hell, and demanded impeachment
Your rant was right on.... I HATE that obuckaboomba cowardly socialist-fascist-communist pig piece of sh!t!!!! That bastard is destroying our country every minute of every day. Maybe that is what is needed to devastate our country & our patriotism so bad, that even the ignorant dumbed down masses will rise up in revolt against this communist pig usurper. God save America if He is still hearing our cries!!!
Thank you.
Never forget.
Just look at that smug, arrogant sunbitch.
That has got to be the scariest picture I’ve seen yet. Just who the hell does he think he is?
He has no business being in the White House period. The only thing he is qualified for is dog catcher and I am not even sure about that.

Hon.....he isn’t even qualified to wipe my butt. Period.
To have an open mind, one must first possess a mind.
The Obamaloon proves that Harvard law standards are right down there with GM and Microsoft.
These are Ann Coulter’s New Jersey witches, I think that’s what she called them
“Lorie Van Auken, a leader of September 11th Advocates, a group headed by four New Jersey women who lost their husbands in the attacks, called the meeting “impressive,” saying Obama gave detailed answers to their questions and allayed many of their concerns. She said the president did not rule out some form of military commissions in the future and acknowledged shortcomings in dealing with terrorism suspects in regular criminal courts.”
The difference was that President Bush did work on his vacation or when he went to Camp David> But instead of going to Camp David, the 0 should have gone to Kenucky
I wonder how many billions were shoveled into the Porkulus Bill to cover the terrorists’ defense lawyers?
>>>>Hitting the pause button? This guy has no business answering the red phone. This country is now as vulnerable as it was on September 10th.<<<<<
Present!
What is amazing, Obama has Jewish advisers. Talk about everything being upside down.... Father in heaven protect our nation... from these wolves in sheep's clothing that have taken over our government.
Kenucky =Kentucky
Be interesting to know how many refused to go to the meeting.
