Can Obama Strike Balance Between Safety and Ideals?

I watched a portion of Admiral Mullens confirmation hearing last night...I never heard any real opposition...What I did hear is one section of Obamas inaugeral speech echoed several times:
As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers ... our found fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake.

sure sounds nice..

but why wait a year to figure out how to close Gitmo..

it only takes a few days to fly down and load them up and return them to Afghanistan...
