"The Obama" Wants To Close Club Gitmo

President Barack Obama on Tuesday proposed to "once and for all" close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and transfer remaining detainees to a facility in the U.S., though his plan does not specify where."Moreover, keeping this facility open is contrary to our values. It undermines our standing in the world; it is viewed as a stain on our record of upholding the highest standards of the rule of law," Obama said. The plan is the administration's last-ditch effort to make good on Obama's campaign vow to close Guantanamo and persuade lawmakers to allow the Defense Department to move nearly 60 detainees to the U.S.
Now Josh Disearnest states that terrorists are using Club Gitmo as a recruiting tool for terrorist.
Now if you move the terrorist from one detention center to another why does that not make the U.S. Penitentiary System a recruiting tool for terrorist ?

This is BS! Islam is the recruiting tool, weak-minded fools are its fodder.

Gitmo is doing fine; it is doing the job it was intended to do: incarcerating pedophile worshipers in a facility far away from the mainland and with applicable military laws.

The public perception of Gitmo is a direct result of the left trying to undermine Bush by making treatment of terrorists a human rights issue. It was also the left who made is a lighting rod for recruitment of terrorists organizations world wide, assuming Obama is accurate, which he's not. The fact that we are infidel and the Great Satan and the aforementioned is the reason why we are targets. Otherwise, how would you explain the Twin Towers?????

No, Islam is the underlying religion. Wahhabiism is the school of thought. There are many recruiting tools.

Whilst showing the world that 1. We don't care about the Constitution, 2. We do not have the moral high ground we claim, and 3. We don't care when counter terrorism experts tell us it is being used as a recruiting tool.

This is the most hilariously petulent thing I have seen written in a long time.

"The thing you are claiming isn't happening!! Well, it may be happening, but if it is, it's Obama's fault! But again, it isn't happening".

I mean seriously?

So you don't seem to take counter terrorism experts word for it, so who do you trust on matters of foreign events and terrorism? What individual do you consider qualified to be an expert whose observations you can trust?

Once again, Skippy, there is reality, then there is what you think.

Gitmo is doing just fine as it is, regardless of the liberal pablum you spew.

Because the terrorists will be treated like actual criminals instead of being tortured and treated like more than criminals.

The real question is, if you think standard penitentiaries are as good as GITMO, why would you care about Obama closing it down?

In the past elephants have looked to stars to find peace with the deer and the gazelles. We should do the same.
