Obama just finished on TV again. Can anyone explain to me why the Liberal Left including Obama keep saying Gitmo has to close as it is a recruiting tool for Al Qaeda? Does he believe that 9/11 would not have happened if Gitmo didn't exists as Al Qaeda would not have been able to recruit terrorists to carry out those attacks?
WAIT Gitmo opened after 9/11 to have a place to hold these FOREIGN wack jobs trying to KILL AMERICANS.
Do the left including Obama believe that if you close all prisons that house criminals we will not have any crime? Are we sure these prisons are not recruiting criminals too? :roll: :x

Just saying Closing Gitmo before the war is over IS NUTS.

BTW Will the Prisons on US soil that will house these detainees be seen any different than Gitmo? Are they not still being detained and not allowed to return to their terrorist camps? And will Obama close them if Al Qaeda recruiting sees an uptick? :roll: :x

Listening to talk radio last night, I think it was Jason Lewis that said
we need to declare war on terrorists, then there wouldn't be any
trying of terrorists as criminals.

And I didn't get to see more, but on Neal Cavuto today, Neal
said about the underwear bomber: "Did the plan succeed?"
Does anyone know what he meant by that? He's a pretty deep
thinker and I wondered if there was more to the story than we
are being told...

I think Neal was speaking about the way the US has reacted since the failed attempt. Look at just today. Hours of delays in several different airports for things that turned out to be nothing. But who is going to take a chance and allow pop bottles filled with honey to go on a plane without making sure their not a bomb of some kind? Who is not going to close down an airport when a guy just walks through security and goes missing? Think about the money lost in delayed flights and the calling out of bomb squads and extra police to search every person.
The finger pointing being done by those in charge of National Security is just starting and you can bet Al Qaeda is just sitting back enjoying the show. If their intent was to through the US into a teazy I would say they succeeded, successful bombing of a plane or not. Al Qaeda might be just a rag tag group of misfits as I heard someone describe them today but that rag tag group of misfits are and will continue to terrorize every American with these kinds of acts. Closing Gitmo is not going to stop them.

These failed attempts, just how many of them really succeeded in gathering information on responses we would have.

This could be why they are attempting attacks. Just look at what the media will tell everyone listening. There are no secrets when you have 24/7 news. If reporters had their way every word the FBI got out of the undie bomber and everything the US plans to do with that information would be open to everyone including AL QAEDA. There is time to be open about the facts and then there is time not to be. Time to be open in when you are negotiating Health Care. Time to not be open is when you are negoitating with a terrorist on whether he dies painfully slow or kept rotting in a prison cell depriving him of his 72 virgins, depending on the information he is willing to give up on his buddies. :wink:

Mark Stein (british guy who fills in for Rush) was talking about his trip down there not too long ago. I think on average the towel heads gain about 14 lbs. He got to sit in the "interrogation" chair, it's basically a lazy boy. They have it better there then where they come from, maybe it is in fact a recruiting tool.

I'm sure glad I don't live in western Ill as I fear that if the terrorist are moved there it would sure be much easier for their buddies to get close and then really bring the war onto our home land!

Just think about it.If one of my leaders was being held at Gitmo ( I was stationed there in 1969 ) there is no way of a "rescue"

In the middle of farm country they could spend a little time renting houses, learning the area, them proceed as they have overseas - - -I forsee sucide bomings, large scale attacks chemical warfare and any other thing they can come up with so that they can get thier 70 vergins.

Gitmo is where they need to be. If Obama wants to bring them here he should bring them to his neighborhood!

I vote we move them to Alaska.

May I ask what you have against Alaskans? :???:
I happen to have family living there and I do not see why they should be put in any more danger by these guy than someone living in the lower 48.

Let the Feds rebuild Alcatraz and put them in Pelosi's back yard. If the fear of the sharks in the water doesn't keep them from trying to break out the fear of being greeted by Pelosi when they reach the main land should keep them on the island.
