Unwinding Guantanamo: Defense Secretary Grilled Over Fate of Inmates

"I fully expect to have 535 pieces of legislation before this is over saying: 'Not in my district. Not in my state.' And we'll just have to deal with that when the time comes," U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates told the Senate Appropriations Committee.

“Obama went to Mexico recently and brought back a 12 year old treaty known as INTER-AMERICAN CONVENTION AGAINST THE ILLICIT MANUFACTURING OF AND TRAFFICKING IN FIREARMS, AMMUNITION, EXPLOSIVES, AND OTHER RELATED MATERIALS, CIFTA. The treaty was signed by President Clinton in 1997 but was never ratified by the Senate. It calls for the institution of a regime of gun control never before seen in the United States, creating a gun registration system that would be open to International sharing, offenders would be prosecuted under treaty law and they would be eligible for extradiction.”

America…let’s see how many radical Muslims do we really need in America to take her down from within?

Already have some here…came across the borders of Canada and Mexico illegally.

Just gave millions for Hamas favoring Palestinians to migrate to the US legally and on our dime.

Already have thousands here legally…and now maybe Gittmo will send their radical Muslims to our neighborhoods soon to join the others!

And America…worries about an American revolution?

How about our country being attacked from within like on 9/11 with radical Muslims already here?

Wake up…America! Saul Alinsky Obama BOWED DEEPLY in reverance and subserviance to his King…Abdullah of Saudi Arabia…home of Sharia Law and radical Muslims.

Do you think he is trying to stop this influx into the US?

You are right…he isn’t. He is promoting more ways to get more radical Muslims here.

It has to stop! Unfortunately…the only ones that can stop it are the dirty scoundrels in the Congress that are now his henchmen doing his bidding.

God help us…America…truly…we need to ask God’s help to get us out of this situation we put ourselves into!

If Lord Obama has enough spare room in the White House for his mother-in-law to move on in, why not take in a few extra Gittmo inmates while he’s at it.

First, looks like the Oshyte Admin will return to using GWB’s miltary tribunals to try the Gitmo detainees.

And now (Per BB): Funding has been cut for the transfer of the detainees.

“Obama has signed an executive order to close the facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by early next year. But the Pentagon has yet to come up with a plan on where to put the 240 or so prisoners. Between 50-100 are likely to be sent to the United States.

No lawmaker wants the accused terrorists in their backyard.

House Democrats unveiled a $94.4 billion war funding bill Monday and it had no money for the relocation plan.
