Opening Gitmo's gates

Closing Gitmo is proving harder than President Obama thought -- but that's no reason to simply set terrorists free.

Sooo,
How is the American public going to react to this marxist turd when these vermin go and kill more Americans?

Come on all you dumb bastards that voted for this plague, what the hell were you thinking?

Left wing radicals (main stream Democrats) are more interested in freeing our enemies than protecting our friends and ourselves.

They wanted to be “part of history,” of course.
