U.S. special envoy in charge of closing Guantanamo, Daniel Fried, said Washington was in talks with several governments about hosting more detainees from the military prison in Cuba.
"Yes," he said, when asked whether closing Guantanamo in the three remaining years of Obama's term was realistic. "I am confident it will be closed under President Obama's first term," he told reporters in Brussels.

To be reopened immedietly after Obozo is sent packing.
Apparently thats the goal. I can’t wait for the DU reaction.
Well, 1 yr... 3 yrs... 7 yrs... 11 yrs... In other words, as long as it is useful, it cannot be closed. What kind of promise is that?
Good, just in time to take out the shovel ready ZERO and reopen GITMO so Rush doesn’t lose any business.

Check is in the mail, honest. And they’ll just keep saying that reguardess.
Obama could execute everyone at Guantanamo today and close it tomorrow and keep his promise :)

(and most conservatives I know said McCain was a bad candidate as well, for the record).
Originally the first YEAR of Obama’s term.
Now first term. Like there will be a second one. Tried to sneak that one in there, not accepting their loaded assumption.
He won’t close it. It will remain Bush’s fault.
I’m anxiously awaiting its appearance on the roll of no longer used government properties up for auction. It has a beautiful harbor surrounded by hills; Club Gitmo, here we come!
>”Yes,” ...”I am confident it will be closed under President Obama’s first term,”
The little snot is an obama drone...confident his master is going to get elected again.
another broken promise. Where are the demonstrations and calls fro impeachment for this war president?
It’s going backwards fast. A year ago it was only 1 year.
