How Trump Can Stop Obama from Closing Gitmo
American Thinker ^ | November 18, 2016 | Ed Lasky

Donald Trump can stop Barack Obama from continuing to free terrorists, and the sooner he acts, the better.

Barack Obama is a lame-duck president and, empowered by his pen and a phone (the only weapons he has ever held, no doubt) is determined to continue to carve out a dubious legacy for himself. He had promised to close Guantanamo prison during his first presidential campaign and on the second day in office he issued one of his numerous executive orders to come, this one directing that the prison be closed within one year.

Terrorists were big supporters of Barack Obama. At Gitmo they were chanting “Obama! Obama! Obama!” during election night and when he won started chanting to their guards and prosecutors the refrain “Hey, hey…goodbye”

President Obama was stymied in his efforts to transfer many of them to American prisons when Republicans led an effort (joined by many Democrats) to pass a law that forbade prisoners from being moved into American prisons. But Barack Obama has found another way to release these terrorists (or “detainees” as liberals call them) by working to depict them as less of a threat than they are and then releasing them into the custody of foreign governments.

As Stephen Hayes has written in a Weekly Standard column, “Lying About Gitmo,” Obama and his team have been lying about the backgrounds and records of these terrorists to downgrade their threats to Americans and others around the world:

President-elect Donald Trump and a Republican Congress can put foreign nations on notice that change is coming to Washington and America in January and that nations that cooperate with Barack Obama in his terrorist release program will be scrutinized in the years to come when it comes to foreign aid, trade pacts, security cooperation and a range of other measures.

Obama cannot close Gitmo at this point.

Donald Trump can also make it clear that any country taking any released Gitmo prisoners from Obama will at this point will sincerely regret it

#### em. Kill em wherever they end up.

We will have that kind of intelligence when Trump is pres.

In fact, I like the idea of letting them go then using them or target practice.

With the folks they hang around with, collateral damage will be a blessing.

Gitmo should be more like an animal pound for these two legged animals; once we get intel from them if we can’t find a “home” for them in a developed countries penal system then put ‘em out of our misery. Have a trial as soon as they get there with military law and they are guilty from that point on.

Terrorists were big supporters of Barack Obama.

The feeling was - obviously - mutual.

Chips Ahoy! Chipping should become one of our secret weapons against all manner of miscreants. Terrorists, illegal aliens, felons of all stripes. Just do it, Big D. No need for a lot of discussion. The bastards get a little medical exam and voila! Chipped for life! Just do it!!!

Shood is how you spell should, when you are about to miss your train. GTMO is the more common reference in military speak, for Guantanamo Bay.
