Another issue that supplied Obama with some wonderful good sounding liberal loving rhetoric that has been impossible to follow through on.
As badly as Obama wants to be the human rights guy he now stands there holding the Gitmo hot potato wondering how he is going to get out of the possible nightmare of having been the guy the let loose some of the most hardcore terrorist in the world.
Should we be as worried when Bush released 500 GITMO detainees as you are about Obama relocating 240 of them?
Of the 500 detainees that Bush RELEASED, 61 returned to terrorism.
Yet when Obama wants to RELOCATE 240 detainees to supermax facilities in the U.S., many people seem to think Obama is showing weakness on terrorism.
Can someone explain to me why it was OK for Bush to RELEASE 500 detainees but it's not OK for Obama to RELOCATE 240 of them.
Sammie,...good article, but;
[/quote]"Obama has vowed to close the prison by January 2010, and the Senate's vote was not the final word on the matter. It will be next month at the earliest before Congress completes work on the legislation, giving the White House time pursue a compromise that would allow the president to fulfill his pledge".[/quote]
by all means, not the end of this issue at all....
