I read Obama planned to sign an executive order in his first week ordering the closure of GTMO, but the timeframe for closing it would remain open-ended. In other words, it's the same as his plan for Iraq. He will 'talk the talk' of pulling out but he won't 'walk the walk.' This isn't my first choice but it's better than an immediate pull-out.

It doesn’t matter if Obama guesses right or wrong. If the terrorist gets released and kills again, Obama will just say that isn’t the Al Marri I’ve come to know, or nobody I’ve talked to or who’ve talked to me could have foreseen what Al Marri did.

What do you do with a bunch of guys who, once released (if they are released) are sure to sue, tell horrific stories, and even if they are innocent goat herders can now be picked up by al-quaida operatives (or any other group)and pumped for information on exactly what happens in Guantanamo, i.e. interrogation techniques…. maybe the problem is that these guys know too much?

May he have 4 solid years of sleepless nights and age dreadfully. It’s what presidents do.

No one seemed to care he lied about running for President, or taking public funds for the campaign, why would they care if he lied about this?

“It appears that Obama intends (so say aides) to close GTMO within his first week…”

Scott – Are those aides suggesting Obama was lying to Steffie on national TV?

“It is more difficult than I think a lot of people realize,” Barack Obama explained.”

Not me, not hardly anyone I know. We all understood, years ago this was a difficult situation. I guess this is just one more issue that is above Mr. Obama’s pay grade. I hope he listens to the right people after he takes the oath of office.
