We can’t afford to give terrorists a one-way ticket back to the battlefield

Last week the Obama Administration approved its largest-ever release of detainees from Guantanamo Bay, sending 15 extremists back into the world.

By now, the pattern has become familiar: the President lets hardened terrorists go free, Congress and the American people express outrage, and the White House ignores the uproar.

But the grave risks of this policy cannot be ignored. The President is giving terrorists a one-way ticket back to the battlefield.

In fact, officials have confirmed to Congress that some former detainees are responsible for attacking or killing Americans since being freed. Yet, incredibly, the releases persist.

Not only does the President’s rush to open Gitmo’s jail cells allow fighters to keep waging war against us, it also gives the jihadist A-team a chance to mentor a new generation of radicals.

“Outrageous” hardly describes the non-logic of this policy. What Commander-in-Chief lets the enemy return to the fight in the middle of a war?

...

Nearly 700 inmates have been released from Gitmo, and more than 200 have returned to the fight or are suspected of doing so, according to the Director of National Intelligence. And that’s just who we know about.

When are Americans going to get it? Obama can do ANYTHING he wants, and WE can’t do anything about it. He often does things, like homosexual weddings and transgender bathrooms, and yes, these terrorist releases, that are specifically designed to “stick it” to Christian and Jewish Americans, for whom he and his handlers have the ultimate disdain. Valerie Jarrett said that after Obama’s 2012 re-election that she would “punish our enemies.” Well, their enemies are you and I, and their allies are these terrorists in Gitmo.

Somebody forgot to tell Mohammed ibn Hussein ibn Obama, and he threw open the doors of Guantanamo.

But, then, he’s all for acts of terror against the US.

At this point it is safe to assume that many people in the US support our enemies; they don’t view them as enemies at all. They view our conflicts today as “white people problems”...

Exactly right, he should have been hanged in 2008. (His male lovers claim he is “hung.”)

I’ve seen the huge disparities between white and brown civilizations. I (and they) know which one I prefer and which one is more civilized by far. If they kill all the white people their world will crumble and they will have no one to blame anymore. I guess that’s how cannibalism started.../s

I’ve maintained on other threads for a long time that exterminating whites is not the goal (because everything then shuts down); it is to simply get whites to pay for everything while doing all the work...
