This is the much guessed quote.

Has Guantanamo become a recruiting tool of Al Qaeda? A "tremendous" one? Has Zawahiri, Gadahn, anyone complained about Gitmo? Has any terrorist said, posted, what have you "I joined because of Gitmo?"

And was Gitmo an"explcit rationale" for formation of the sub group? All I can find about them is the usual jihadi stuff and that non-Muslim subhumans must leave, even ambassadors, from the Peninsula.

[dodger]

Gee, I guess if Al-Qaeda doesn’t like something that we do ... we’d better not do it!

[tobyhill]

The formation was actually a merger of two already existing groups, al-qaeda in Yemen and al-qaeda in Saudi Arabia.

[silverleaf]

Just think, next year, they can join al Qaeda because of Illinois!

Stupid lib reassoning, BTW- that if we stop doing things al Qaeda disapproves of, they will like us.

[magellan]

The man has no shame whatsoever. He has been President for 50 weeks, and he still blames his predecessor whenever something goes wrong.

[PaleoBob]

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.

>become a tremendous recruiting tool for al-Qaeda

If I was a potential-terrorist, and the worst that could happen to me was an all expenses stay at Club Gitmo, then that would indeed be a great draw for me, and that would indeed be a setback to our National Security interests.

What an ass.

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

In ‘fact’, sayeth Obomba. Making it up, day after day.

[Zeppo]

In related news, Obama clearly believes that the only reason that criminals are committing crimes is due to police officers behaving "stupidly"....

What a moron...

[Carley]

Make no mistake. Obama is a clear and present danger to the security of the United States.

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

Well, this is both more and less ambiguous than the shortened circulating paraphrase that goes something like “Al-Qaeda formed because of Gitmo”.

‘that’
What’s ‘that’?

Also, ‘an explicit’ is not the same as ‘the explicit’.

‘explicit rationale’
Who’s rationale?

‘In fact’
Just filler reinforcing conjecture.

Is this the intended assertion?
“Al-Qaeda formed in the Arabian Peninsula because of [that]”

[FrankR]

Listening to this clown is like attending a 7th grade "home-ec" convention.

What next? "Prisons cause crime?". "Babies cause sex"?. How about this one, "Healthcare causes illness"?

Meanwhile, the __resident is setting up the next al qaeda stonghold right there in Chicago, where I'm guessing all islam prisoners will eventually be relocated there in order to "group them" (knowing this __resident's penchant for unions). Talk about a major terrorist cell...Illinois will make Yemen look like Disneyworld...and we'll be feeding and housing them.

This administration is spinning a web of deceipt, and we're just the observers....



What goes up must come down
spinning wheel got to go round
Talking about your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel spin

You got no money, and you, you got no home
Spinning wheel all alone
Talking about your troubles and you, you never learn
Ride a painted pony
let the spinning wheel turn

Did you find a directing sign
on the straight and narrow highway?
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colours that are real

Someone is waiting just for you
spinning wheel is spinning true
Drop all your troubles, by the river side
Catch a painted pony
On the spinning wheel ride

Someone is waiting just for you
spinning wheel is spinning true
Drop all your troubles, by the river side
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel fly

Al Quada has many tools that it uses to recruit fanatics to its side. GITMO had little worth when compared to the hatred moslums have for non moslums. Obama showed off his arrogance and stupidity by closing an important national security asset for no reason other than to please his communist base.

[manc]

I saw him on the TV say this and thought WTH.

if he really thinks that and after a security briefing then we’re done as a country now.

I wonder if all the media outlets will cover this or will they cover for him again as they have been doing?

[Marty62]

I AM SICK OF THIS BS.

THERE WAS NO GITMO WHEN THE ISLAMOFASCIST ATTACKED THE WTC.
STOP LYING ZERO.

[GVnana]

Has anyone sent this to Drudge?

Obama Quote on Guantanamo Causing Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula

The biggest recruiting tool that Al-Qaeda has had since 9/11 is the election of Obama as president in 2008. Nothing emboldens the enemy as much as a weak president and one who has already announced to the world and to Al-Qaeda that America is the problem with the world.

According to Obama, Bush should've closed the Gitmo prisoner camp even before 9.11 occurred. Obama has no credibility in the war-on-terror at all. Al-Qaeda is counting on his naivete.
