The American Mirror "There’s nothing subtle about Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts’ reaction to President Obama’s idea to close the terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
"Roberts literally threw it in the trash."
Video at the link. “This is what I think of the president’s plan to send terrorists to the United States,” Roberts said before balling up the papers and throwing them into a garbage can.
CNN reports Obama sent his plan to Congress earlier today — seven years after proposing it.“ . . .
"Lt. Col. Ralph Peters had a lot to say about Obama’s proposal to close Guantanamo Bay."
Ask Czechoslovakia what they know of leaders like Obama. Just don't ask one of their millennials whom I'm sure are just as ignorant of history as ours. TD
Hillary will take a hit on Obama’s Gitmo plan . . . "President Obama continues to insist that the facility at Guantanamo Bay is a recruiting tool for ISIS, al-Qaeda, and other terrorist groups. Although I have heard a (very) few senior military officers reiterate the president's claims, I have yet to hear one cite a single case where an ISIS or al-Qaeda fighter claims to have joined the cause simply because of our detention facility. I haven't even heard of an instance where it was the tipping point for such a potential recruit who had heretofore been on the fence about it. It's a bogus argument, and the president knows it, and the senior officers, who are supposed to be apolitical, know it"
Rush calls Obama's plan a "crock". . . . "Because we know what the number one terrorist recruitment tool is. It's Islamic supremacy, Islamic superiority, Islamic ideology, the imams, the mosques. That's where the recruitment happens. Are you kidding me that Guantanamo Bay is the number one terrorist recruitment tool in the world? That's no different than Obama saying, "The United States defending itself and protecting itself is the number one terrorist recruitment tool in the world.' "
White House Won't Say if Obama Can Close Gitmo Without Congressional Consent . . . "There are about 91 terrorists at Guantanamo that no other country will take and that are so dangerous, we can't let go. And we can't put them on trial in a civilian court (and perhaps not even a military tribunal) because the evidence was obtained either illegally, as in the case of torture, or through very sensitive and secret means." . . .
Andrew C. McCarthy: Why Closing Gitmo Is Still a Terrible Idea . . . "The rest of his case is as preposterous as it ever was. Or worse, actually. The president claims that our allies in the fight against “violent extremism” are dismayed by Gitmo’s continuing operation. Really? Does anyone really believe that the French are worried about Guantanamo Bay when they have suspended their own civil-liberties protections to deal with the prospect of more mass-murder attacks? How about other European countries grappling with the fallout of “migrants” overrunning their territories? Think Gitmo is at the top of their list?" . . .
Ignore Obama’s Grandstanding and Keep Gitmo Open . . . "The release of Guantanamo detainees has proven calamitous. As The Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes has reported, of 653 released detainees, 117 have returned to the fight against the U.S., and 79 more are suspected of doing so — a recidivism rate of almost one-third. Meanwhile, the Obama administration is committed to releasing another 35 detainees already approved for transfer. The president has never addressed the high recidivism among terrorists, and his plan offers no way to mitigate the risk." . . .
