Among the first campaign promises Obama will bring to fruition is shuttering GITMO within one year's time.
The first thing that struck me was the fact that Obama made it a point to say how dangerous some of the detainees were. I had never heard him say that before --I guess what one believes before NSA briefings and after can be vastly different. Barack's followers seem to believe the US has been housing boyscouts there...
More importantly though, I couldn't help think this is such a crock. In my opinion GITMO was a symbolic talking point that was basically reflective of different views on the War on Terror. But was I wrong? Do people actually have a problem with housing those that were trying to kill our troops out of our country and out of our prison system were they could recruit others?
Was this Executive order a symbolic thank you to temporarily pacify his far left supporters (that now creates a host of sub-problems)...or was this an actual concern for the moderate Dems too?
