Kerry on Gitmo Detainee Who Returned to Terrorism: ‘He’s Not Supposed to Be Doing That’

BY: Aaron Kliegman February 24, 2016 5:45 pm

Secretary of State John Kerry lamented Wednesday that a terrorist who the Obama administration released from the military prison at Guantanamo Bay subsequently returned to fight for al Qaeda, telling lawmakers “he’s not supposed to be doing that.”

Appearing before the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Kerry made the statement while testifying about the State Department’s budget request for the fiscal year 2017.

During the hearing, Sen. Mark Kirk (R., Ill.) asked Kerry for his thoughts on Ibrahim al Qosi, the former Guantanamo detainee who is now a prominent al Qaeda leader, and had staffers hold up a picture of the terrorist for Kerry to see.

“Let me just ask one question,” Kirk said to Kerry. “I want to show you a picture of Ibrahim al Qosi, who was recently released by the administration to the Sudanese, and he appeared on some al Qaeda videos recruiting people for AQAP [al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula].”

Kirk went on to say, “Now that he’s out, I would hope we would end the policy of issuing terrorists to terrorist nations, and where they can get out.”

Then consider he convinced enough people to elect him to public office multiple times. What does that say about the voters in MA?

Simply “Self-Identify” as a criminal and then ask for your check.

If Bruce Jenner can be woman of the year, then you can be a self-identified Crime Lord and ask for a check to refrain from criminal activity. ;-)

One can only hope his next act of terror touches Kerry’s family personally. Not a nice thing to say, but if these idiots are going to endanger people, they should have to pay a price as well.

Kerry shouldn't be surprised. King Obama knew this rag head would be back to his chosen trade, terrorism. That is why he released him.

Least we forget King Obama, the communists black Muslim terrorists.

IIRC, Kerry on the Iran deal was negotiating with his daughter’s father-in-law!

So it’s true. John Kerry used a drill with a metal bit to clear out his ears as a kid

This fatuous cretin is the sitting Secretary of State of the United States of America, a post occupied at various intervals by the likes of John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall, James Madison, James Monroe, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, William Jennings Bryan, Cordell Hull, George C. Marshall, Dean Acheson, and John Foster Dulles. And his answer to the statement that an international terrorist deliberately released on his watch has returned to terrorism is, "He's not supposed to be doing that."

That is how far we've fallen.

Kerry IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SECY OF STATE, SENATOR, OR LOOSE, BUT HE IS.

Shit happens, and Obama and his Marxist followers make sure of that from GITMO to education and everything in-between.
