Fox News Poll: 81 percent expect ISIS attack on US, majority says keep Gitmo open
FOX News ^ | December 11, 2014 | By Dana Blanton

A majority of American voters want any ISIS terrorist captured by the United States sent to Guantanamo Bay rather than a federal prison. That’s a key finding of the latest Fox News poll, as President Obama wants to close Gitmo amid widespread fears ISIS will try to strike the homeland soon.

If an ISIS fighter were to be captured by the U.S., where should that prisoner be sent? By a 59-29 percent margin, voters say the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba.

Veterans are more likely to think the prison at Guantanamo Bay should stay open by nearly 50 points (72-25 percent).

By a 21-point margin, more voters disapprove than approve (56-35 percent) of the job Obama is doing handling ISIS. Likewise, on foreign policy, 37 percent of voters approve, while 57 percent disapprove.

The EXEMPT do not care a whit about the American people,
except to INFECT them with EV-68 and to
arm al Qaeda at Benghazi ... and then cover it up.

The minority in these polls are the ones that Gruber talks about. I have to say, I agree with him. I am not an economist, but I am smart enough to know that 50% of Americans have below average IQs.

Now that ISIS knows that Princess Di Feinswine and her commie ‘RATS have their backs, I wouldn’t be surprised what they do.

I am in favor of closing GitMo.
Put the most dangerous inmates on a plane, fly them back to Afghanistan and “lose” the airplane somewhere over the Pacific.
Need some way to rescue the crew, but that is about it.

I'd like to keep Gitmo open.

The terrorists currently still incarcerated there are the the worst of the worst and far to dangerous to release.

They have also committed crimes worthy of execution and deserve to executed, not released

Only in the US MSM is it wonderful for Baraq to kill terrorists with drone shots and awful for Bush to interrogate them at Gitmo.

“Baraq Obama don’t care about brown people”

Alternatively, Devils Island should be rented from the French and no senators or congressmen or lawyers allowed in

The attackers are already inside our borders. Some are in the White House.

The Obama Presidency will go down in flames. His policies are unpopular for good reason, a terrorist strike would secure him as the worst President in the nation’s history.

I was thinking of releasing them from about 10,000 feet without parachutes.
It isn’t like we can torture any additional information out of them.

People sense when they’re in danger. If they didn’t have that ability their line would have died out long ago...

It’s not just ‘the wrong track’ liberal elites have put us on, it’s the track to hell.
