Forget Gitmo -- return our domestic terrorists

There is one way President Barack Obama can build support for shutting down Gitmo and transferring Islamic terrorists to the United States.

And that is to get Cuban President Raul Castro to return convicted cop-killer and prison escapee Joanne Chesimard, also known as Assata Shakur, to the United States.

Her return would not change the course of the debate on Obama's determination to empty out the prison at Gitmo, but it would at least show that Obama had some compassion for the victims of terrorism

Uh, no. That's not a good deal. If the price of keeping the terrorists in Cuba, is leaving a cop-killer in Cuba, so be it.

Now, the price of normal relations with the US should be the return of Shakur. That's completely different.

If Cruz is Pres + Rubio is VP the reckoning will come in Cuba. If Cruz speaks good enough Spanish he should give a rousing speech to the Cuban people to retake their government. Do it in front of the world. Humiliate the Castros. Then jail the thugs who enforce thru intimidation.

The next President(democratically elected)? My choice would be Rubio. He can get his executive experience.

I’m talking excrement disturbing on a massive scale. See if it spreads. Think Iran(2009), Tianimen Square(1989). There may be others.

Pie in the sky. Obama will visit a country that deliberately shields and gives freedom to a cop killer. You think he cares?
