Is it a stepped up effort to fulfill a campaign promise (dumb as it was), or a move in preparation for leaving the Guantanamo Base in the hands of the Cubans? I wonder.

The U S doesn’t hope for that.

The Obamunists do.

Texas, Florida, Alaska, etc. With the many millions they each get to "help them settle" they'll be able to set up some nice terrorist training camps and settlements.

Good idea. They could even be given overseer positions on some of them there FEMA camps. That would kill two birds w/one stone for this admin.
