President Obama announced Monday that military trials will resume for detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp, saying the tribunals are an "important tool in combating international terrorists."

You know what I think? I think that the security issues regarding Gitmo and the potential consequences of closing it turned out to be far more serious than anyone imagined. Obama campaigned loudly and heavily on closing Gitmo. For him to back down on his campaign promises to the anti-war crowd as quickly as he did and the obvious lack of progress in trying the detainees means that the implications of following Obama’s preferred course of action is very serious indeed. The man child had no idea what he was getting into when he strutted around boldly proclaiming that Gitmo was a bad idea and should be closed.
he pranced around pledging to close Gitmo to gain the votes of the useful idiots........yet I don’t see them protesting this. hmm. phonies, all of them.
oh, good!

I just peaked in...I’m guessing this loses him a few points. As things currently are, he’s going have huge problems getting reelected. Just hope we pick a good one to replace him.

Apologies to Walt Whitman.
I snooped over at DU and they are exploding. LMAO! They are comparing Zero to Bush.
If he could set them loose with dirty bombs in every American city, he would do it in a heart beat.
He is a disciple of Reverend Wright.
They are in total collapse.
Does my heart good to know that. Thanks. ;^)

33. In my book, that makes him a war criminal and traitor.
He’s playing the role of King.
He should be in a cell.
Awaiting punishment.

LOL. They are in meltdown.
No, they'll just re-write history.
Both those links don’t work.
The way the Bush Administration handled the issue of these terrorists was well and logically thought out (unless you are someone who thinks they should have been administered a lead snack in the field)
The grown ups were in charge then.
Consider this a "Like" of your comment.
I went ahead and did the same :)
And I ALWAYS "Like" my own posts, because that really pushes them over the edge!
Nahh. He’ll get a pass — quoting Janeane Garafolo, “Protesting Clinton’s Wars Wasn’t Cool”. She was saying this in response to a question about hypocrisy for not protesting Clinton bombing Iraq right when the liberation of Iraq started in 2003 and she and the other useless idiots started protesting. Zero gets a pass. He’s a dem.
Obama breaks promises. Same ‘#%$@’ different day.
Not that I’m complaining, but the media will never tally up all of his broken campaign promises and the lies he told about opposing same sex marriage, etc...
