Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday that he would help the White House convince his fellow Republicans to support closing Guantanamo Bay if President Obama reverses course and sends the alleged Sept. 11 mastermind and his co-conspirators to military tribunals.

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday that he would help the White House convince his fellow Republicans to support closing Guantanamo Bay if President Obama reverses course and sends the alleged Sept. 11 mastermind and his co-conspirators to military tribunals.

The South Carolina Republican is considered to be a key player in the administration's strategy to close the detainee camp at Guantanamo. He supports shuttering the facility but opposes trying the alleged architects of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in civilian court.

I can think of only one acceptable condition for closing Gitmo.

I’ve seen the picture of a rino humping a rino. But I have yet to see the picture of a rino humping a jackass.

Lindsey Graham really hates having a job.

Either that, or they’ve got photos of him showering with Barney’s Frank.

Graham could not pass a 72 hour hold and testing for a 51-50 anymore, IMO.

Graham needs to GO.

Obama screwed up by letting Holder announce NY for the trials and for declaring Club Gitmo would be closed in one year from his election.

NO to both.

NO to NY Trials

NO to closing Gitmo.

It’s not either or, or IF

It’s BOTH.

And Graham doesn’t make the ‘deal’ or suggest the deal.

That’s BS.

I wish there were some way to get "CLOSURE" from this F'n bottom feeding RINO!

I guess he learned only too well how to "reach across the aisle" to work with the Rats, as an understudy at the feet of his mentor and RINO extraordinaire, Juan McLame!

Graham is an absolute dolt. He must have an IQ of about 50.

Just doing McCain’s dirty work.

What a disgusting back room deal. A betrayal of the will of Americans.

Village Idiot Graham is giving Obama something he doesn’t have to give him. The pressure on the KSM trial issue is far too intense for negotiations.

Where is it that the great zero wants to put the goat fornicators? Some empty state pen up north?
At anyrate, the attention whore is supporting that idea.

Obama wants them were civilian liberal lawyers, liberal judges, the ACLU and Democrat party funding prison guard unions can feed off them.

The very many stupids of South Carolina that just sent this pos back to the senate should come to their senses and IMPEACH the RINO turd.

Well, Graham has been urging us to close Gitmo for a year, so I doubt he’ll be any MORE persuasive now.

The trials should be military tribunals because that is the right thing to do, not be some sort of political pawn. Graham does a disservice by allowing political dealmaking into the process.

I am at a loss to understand why RINO’s and Democrats are so determined to close Gitmo.

If these terrorists are too dangerous to be released, then where else are they going to be imprisoned?
