Obama Quote on Guantanamo Causing Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
BBC ^ | July 5, 2010 | Barack O.

Posted on 01/05/2010 3:40:32 PM PST by Shermy

"Make no mistake, we will close Guantanamo prison, which has damaged our national security interests and become a tremendous recruiting tool for al-Qaeda," he said.

"In fact, that was an explicit rationale for the formation of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula."

9-11 was only done because Al-Qaeda knew Bush was going to put some off them in GITMO and once GITMO closes all the Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks will cease. /sarc

Obama is either confused or he thinks we’re all really dumb.

Obama, you stupid incompetent pathetic little man, there was no Gitmo when WTC 1, the two Embassies, the USS Cole and 9/11 attacks were perpetrated. You and your inept, dangerous administration are so incompetent you should all resign IMMEDIATELY.

The question that he’s begging is, why is Illinois Supermax NOT going to be a “recruiting tool”? The conditions of captivity will be exactly the same, only colder.

This nonsense about AQ Iraq being a response to Gitmo was a complete invention of Obamsky and the DemocRat party, all part of their being OBSESSED with villifying anything and everything Bush did. And they are doing damn near everything Bush did, now that they have to deal with the Muzzies. So, closing Gitmo, or letting Muslim terrorists board planes to the US, these are their attempts to distinguish themselves from Bush and please their loonie Left.

Exactly. And it’s complete MADNESS, as they play politics with our LIVES...GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“an obsession with trying to blame jihadism on American acts.”
++++++++++++++

This is the end result of Bush Derangement Syndrome. A completely twisted lunacy. Words can barely express how sickening this is. Liberalism *is* a mental disorder, and it’s UN-AMERICAN.

Worldwide Islamofascist TERRORISM has watched this man for low these 12 months and have sized him up completely.

That is why they threw it into overdrive.

They saw his bowing to other leaders. They saw him caving to North Korea and Iran. They saw THREE intrusions of the White House during a State Dinner hosting one of their major enemies, Prime Minister Singh of India, who is on their assassination list. They have seen him talk of Gitmo. They watched in amazement at the cessation of "enhanced interrogation methodologies". They were amazed at Khaled Sheikh Muhammad being moved to downtown NYC--and a Wahabbi mosque to go up just meters away from Ground Zero. They smirked when their Anwar Al-Alawaki-inspired Major Nidal Hasan got within three feet of the Israeli Ambassador to the United States at a high level briefing in Washington D.C., even shown on C-Span--and nobody has said anything. They read in Al-Watan or saw on Al-Jazeera or Al-Manar that His Excellency Patrice Lumumba Obongo in his infinite wisdom had given instructions to the Defense Department to stop calling it "War on Terrorism". They saw his Homeland Security chief take her first step to go after Conservative Activists and Returned Veterans in the USA as "terrorists". They heard his appeasing, Neville Chamberlain speech in Cairo and immediately spit back in his face and said we are going to kill your infidel American citizens regardless, through Zawahiri. They saw him cover up for a Lone Wolf Al-Qaeda Activated Terrorist at Ft. Hood.

The list goes on and on and on. That is why "chatter" is at an all time high. That is why "testing of security operations -- all these airport shutdowns and airline incidents you are reading about" to get ready for the onslaught. That is why terrorists are moving up in greater numbers sent out after being trained in Yemen by Gitmo Grads.

In short, we, and Western Europe, are SCREWED and it all points to the President of the United States in the time period of January 2009 to January 2010. When and if the "big one" hits, it goes right on his doorstep, this is clearly where blame belongs. I want every Republican running for Congress and Senate to run on an IMPEACHMENT PLATFORM and make it the IMPEACHMENT ELECTION OF 2010. That if elected they will immediate introduce articles of impeachment against Obama for violating his oath to protect the Constitution and the American People. Call the Congressman running in your area in the 2010 congressional/Senate primaries, go see him while the visiting is easy; at his campaign office or wherever, and press him or her on whether he will support impeachment of the President in 2011. Do not vote for or support with any cash a) the Republican Party in general; b) any candidate who waffles on this questions; and finally c) spread the word about those who will go to D.C. to fix this and spread the word about those who will not. Link this thread on FR to 10 of your friends while you are at it. Something is coming down and there should be hell to pay for it, even though it will be the typical bureacratic/liberal. C.Y.A. from the Oval Office on down as we clean up the wreckage(s) and bury the bodies.

That is a good point.

Unfortunately, some of us will have to die at the hands of these fanatical Muslim Terrorists before we can demand Obama’s Impeachment. Too many powerful entities bet on this jackass of a President.

We can expect Baader-Meinhoff Gang/Red Brigade style of terrorism once the Muslim Terrorists are on our soil.

http://www.baader-meinhof.com/timeline/timeline.html

“Most of the leaders of the most famous West German terrorist group, the Baader-Meinhof Gang, were captured in mid-1972. Their followers would kidnap and kill close to a dozen people over the next five years in an effort to secure their leaders’ release from prison, but it was all in vain. The German government had no intention of releasing them.”

http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/weapons_red_brigades.html

The Red Brigades was a Marxist-Leninist left wing terrorist group active in Italy in the 1970s and early 1980s. Known as ‘Brigate Rosse’ in Italian and sometimes shortened to BR, their main aim was to force Italy to leave the NATO alliance. They are most famous for the kidnap and murder of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro in 1978. During their long history of political and at times somewhat random violence they carried out approximately 14,000 acts of violence.

I thought it was that they dont like Coca Cola and gay people

Actually, in Saudi Arabia, they do like Coke but it has to be made with sugar, not corn syrup.
