AQ was set up because of Gitmo now according to obama.

This just after a security brief

He really said it. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Penisila was formed because of GITMO.

Al-Qaeda blew up the USS Cole in 2000 which was before GITMO.

Exact words were:

But make no mistake: We will close Guantanamo prison, which has damaged our national security interests and become a tremendous recruiting tool for al Qaeda. In fact, that was an explicit rationale for the formation of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. And, as I’ve always said, we will do so — we will close the prison in a manner that keeps the American people safe and secure.
