U.N. Officials: Gitmo Closure Is Good News

[hookalakah]

"Indeed, the failed effort to close Guantanamo was reflective of the aspects of Obama’s leadership style that continue to distress his liberal base — a willingness to allow room for compromise and a passivity that at times permits opponents to set the agenda." --Washington Post, April 23, 2011

[Cedtoron]

If Kerry Kennedy thinks using the term "global war on terror" buttresses the extremists it was designed to defeat, what reaction is she expecting from them by closing Gitmo?

[KineticFrenetic]

Ha ha. The Europeans are starting to deny these people back into their country. Why? They think these guys might be tied to terrorists (with good reason).

So, what does that mean? The same people who shouted "Close it down!" are now using the same tactics as GITMO? Hypocricy at its finest. Do you want us to keep it closed or opened? Make up your mind.

[ar15boy]

some of the released have gone back to being

TERRORIST !!!

LEARN FROM THE PAST

OBAMA IS GOING TO GET US ALL KILLED

[slayerkendra]

send the sand niggers to Europe!! these men are TERRORISTS!!!

[TexWhatever]

fuck off liar.

your stats and 'facts' come out of your elephantine mother's big fat arse.

tex username backwards... an imposter troll OWNED 4 TIMES .. check my feature vid for this little maggot's antics!

hahahahahahahahahah

[arvydas0069]

I love the saudis...I've met the royal fam....they hate islamic extremism. so do i

[betweenFloor2]

Watch what happens when they get put in prisons stateside. They will hook up with the gangs. That will be a marriage these morons are going to regret. Both the terrorists and the gangs will become supervillians with the new marriage they made possible!

[nolibsinmycircle]

If it saves one American life than I say " as far as Battery torture of prisoners the red is positive and the black is negative, make sure their balls are wet before attaching.

[todmarbri]

hahahaha!  BZZZZZZZZZZZTT!

[StinkingHombre]

I'm a little relieved that Bush is out too because if I say one more picture of George W tonguing down the Saudi King I'll vomit. I can hardly understand why our Government even talks to the Saudis.

[StinkingHombre]

Republicans under George W betrayed the middle class and the middle class lashed out. You can't win a Presidential election without them! The GREEDY old Republican men wanted to continue importing slave labor from Mexico and flaunting their tremendous wealth while the middle class choked. They abandoned the principles laid down by the great Ronald Reagan and now they are paying for it. Conservatism doesn't work without certain principles, fairness being one of them!

[StinkingHombre]

Obama's guest of honor in the VIP section of the inauguration goes on a hate filled anti-White RACIST rant before the throngs of Obama Zombies and nobody says a single thing! He sounded like Hitler at Neuremberg but nobody notices. On the other hand a "Barack the Magic Negro" song is siezed upon as a hateful affront to the President and the reporters made sure everyone in the fucking WORLD heard it. Gimme a fucking break with the hypersensitivity already! Black don't vote Republican anyhow....

[snowqueendesert]

Canada had one of these guys brought back to Ca. They declared that he was not a threat..said so Sorry and gave him 10 million$ in compensation...3 months later another guy was captured. He was the PARTNER to the guy that Canada let off the hook and gave 10mil to...There was no doubt about the 1st guys guilt, too bad he took off after gettin the money. We all know whose coffers it went into too. How bout we house the prisoners in the UN basement, see how safe they feel then.

[alexei3333]

Whats wrong whit you people?!!

Last 50 years muslim kill muslims 11 milion in different wars and violent conflicts, Who was care ?But they already killed thousand Americans and Europenions.

Muslims want destroy West!

watch?v=zYRxlXJtHuA&feature=re­c-HM-rev-rn

[StinkingHombre]

The Democrats have 4 years to sabotage the war effort and Hussein Usurper's first order of business???

Close Gitmo!

[StinkingHombre]

Right on Mutha Fucker

Gitmo is not the kind of place for your Muslim brethren to be held.

Put them up in the Waldorf Astoria until you feel they have been rehabilitated enough to be released into the general population.

Allahu O'Bama!

[ZoomBFX]

Oh Good Job President Obamanation

Just in:

A Gitmo detainee released by the US has now become a Saudi Al queda deputy leader.

You are going to release all the vermin back into circulation. Im going to really enjoy the next four years

[technicschic]

First of all, he was released under Bush's orders, so don't lay that on Obama's doorste. Second, the fact he was released seems to indicate the evidence they had UP TO THAT POINT was weak - brings up the issue of whether his hatred for America was created WITHIN and perhaps BECAUSE of Gitmo. Thirdly, Obama never said he would release all of them back into circulation. Enjoy your delusions.

[CraftLulz]

ALLAHU AKBAR

my prayers are coming through!

My brothers will come home soon!

ALLAHU AKBAR!

[PoisonDrakeAssassin]

I'm tired of Foreingers telling us Americans what we should do with our own country,fuck the U.N.

America didn't become the most powerful country by listening to assholes from third world countries.

[Joe402]

I knew I'd see a comment like these.

LMAO THE US ISN'T IGNORING THE UN DOESN'T THAT BOIL YOUR BLOOD?!?!?!?!?

[StinkingHombre]

I was not given the right to vote for anybody over there in U.N. headquarters, so what gives them the right to set U.S. Policy?????

[sleeperG60T]

So how do you know that those are terrorists that are at Gitmo? Can anyone answer this before they start smacking about "those terrorists?" Since when was the US government's intelligence system perfected?

[juicejrc]

What about the six new Gitmo like prisons going to be built in the states?

[PoisonDrakeAssassin]

How the fuck is closing Gitmo good news?

Where the hell are all those fucking terrorists going?,I don't want them in my fucking country?

Maybe we should split them up and put them in the houses of all the morons that think closing Gitmo is a good thing.

[KruNae]

The problem is that we don't know if they are actually terrorists or not. They need a fair trial, then make our decisions based on that.

[PoisonDrakeAssassin]

Well maybe they should improve the court system at Gitmo,not close it down.

[RonFella]

LMAO! Human rights!!! Are you kidding? These Gitmo terrorists are going to wish for the good old days of waterboarding after they hit the US prison system! They will either all be dead or sex slaves in a week. Compared to what is allowed to go on in US domestic prisons to brother US citiznes for lesser crimes these guys have a cake walk at Gitmo.

[TECHKLEC]

Still, nobody really has the foggiest idea what to do with those presently incarserated there.

[ZoomBFX]

The Useless negotiators are the joke and waste of taxpayers money

BTW, when you think of the UN, remember Rwanda.

[yes4me]

A bit nervous woman but she did much better than if it was me.

[UncookedVanilla]

What about African-American terrorists who terrorize poor innocent crackers to get revenge for slavery? It seems the U.N. doesn't care about po' ass white trash.

en . wikipedia . org/wiki/Beat_Up_a_White_Kid_D­ay

[nekedemus]

in fact It was some white trash terrorists that attacked a Hispanic male on the assumption that he was an illegal immigrant. Get your facts straight ore shut up..

[UncookedVanilla]

I said nothing about Latinos, but since you brougt it up, 3 Black men beat an Ecuadorian to death in New York and used racial slurs. In Austin, Texas 20 African-Americans beat a Latino to death. Don't tell me only White people commit hate crimes.

[bobhardball]

There is racism in ALL american communities. BUT the GOP should stop giving a voice to racists as we saw it during the last presidential campaign. 'Cause that might give the impression that we, Conservatives, are all racist. Is that so hard to understand?

[StinkingHombre]

Racism exists in all walks of life, in all political and socio-economic classes. Talk about the GOP endorsing racism did you hear VIP guest of the inauguration JayZ's anti-White racist rant before the throngs of Obama Zombies in Washington?

[bobhardball]

Do NOT get me wrong. 'Cause I did NOT say that the GOP is racist. What I am saying is: The GOP should distance itself from all his leaders/members whose recent controversial/racial statements give the impression that we, the Conservatives, are racist. I do NOT care what the Liberals, 'cause I am a Conservative and proud! Have I made myself clear????

[StinkingHombre]

Not really, you make it sound like Republican leaders put on Black face and ate fried chicken from their feet or something. I imagine you are really referring to the "Barack the Magic Negro" song. I think that was harmless and making it to be a hateful racist incident is ridiculous and hyper-sensitive. After all Barack is a magic Negro like Magic Johnson. But where is the bad press on Jay Z's hate filled racist rant in the VIP section of the inauguration before the hoi polloi? BULLSHIT

[bobhardball]

I could NOT agree with you more: "Barack the magic negro" is harmless. BUT this is NOT what I am talking about. and you know it. Do you remember why Trent Lott had to step down as Majority Leader? Do you remember the controversy over the mailing of the Sacramento County Republican Party? These are just few examples you should know, if you are a true Conservative like me. By the way, stop using curse words if you want me to answer your comments!!!

[StinkingHombre]

The Republican party as we have known it is dead. Greed and corruption and GREED have rendered it impotent. No, I don't give a F about Trent Lott or Sacramento and I doubt White America does either. You can't field a candidate that can't remember how many mansions he owns at a time when so many Americans are losing their only homes. I disagree with you, GREED not racism did the Republicans party in. The sorry ass state of the economy did the greedy BASTARDS in. They strayed from Reagan's ideal

[bobhardball]

I warned you NOT to use curse words, if you want to discuss with me. BUT you are NOT willing to listen. So these are my last words to you: The GOP must clearly distance itself from controversial/racial statements, stop using the Karl Rove smear methods and say NO to all high-functioning/greedy morons who want to be our nominee. 'Cause the American People are fed up with this kind of divisive politics!!!

[StinkingHombre]

You're like Elvis, no cussing! OK then! It might indeed be divisive nevertheless it's a fact of the demographics. You can't flip the bird at middle class America for so long and then expect them to vote for you during a financial crisis. You can't have middle class Americans losing their homes while the fat cats are busy buying their 7th mansion. The GOP made a glutton their candidate during a famine. Call it divisive, it's not rocket science McCain was the wrong guy despite his patriotism.

[bobhardball]

I could NOT agree with you more. BUT taking care of the problems of the middle-class and asking the fat cats to do their part are NOT enough to win back the White House. Our Party has to stop sending high-functioning morons or old/senile nominees into the race for the White House, unless we want to loose (2008) or have close elections (2000 and 2004). 'Cause the American People are NOT as stupid as some of the most influential GOP strategists think!

[StinkingHombre]

Reagan made me a Republican, nowadays they have strayed so far from the principles he laid down that I hardly even recognize the party. After 25 years of being a registered Republican I am switching to Independent. They have angered this middle class idiot to no ends with their reinstitution of slavery by allowing droves of Mexicans to invade the country. Republicans want slave laborers for crying out loud, I am finished with them. I'll vote for Allan Keyes the next time.

[bobhardball]

The GOP has become the Party of the fat cats and Christian Right. Reagan used to listen to these fat cats and the Christian Right BUT never hesitated to tell them the truth about taking into account the hopes and aspirations of the middle-class and ALL Americans. That is something the GOP is no more doing and that is why I have stopped voting for conservative candidates for a least 8 years.

[arvydas0069]

As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called 'political prisoners.'

However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands, The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, 'insisted' that all prisoners be released.

Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked us by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center ...

[bobhardball]

Mohammad Atta was one of the political prisoners released by the Israelis during the Clinton Administration? Where did you get this information from? Am I missing something?

[arvydas0069]

Google it bro....takes a minute. Closing Gitmo is a mistake. At least one of the prisoners released is now heading an Insurgent Cewll in Yemen and his videos are all over the web mocking America and planning attacks. See what happens whe we give up on prosecuting these slimeballs? These guys dont end up at GITMO for no reason. When I was in Iraq I sent a Yemeni car bomb maker to Abu Ghraib....doubt he's at GITMO but he was a seriously evil dude....these guys wont stop. They need to rot

[bobhardball]

Mohammad Atta was NOT one of the political prisoners released by the Israelis in the Clinton era. I know it, 'cause I worked for the 9/11 commission for a GOP senator! Obama has NO intention to release these BASTARDS! He just wants to make sure they are no innocents among them and find a more efficient way to deal with the real BASTARDS! Do NOT underestimate this Liberal as McCain and the Clintons did in '08. Do NOT do that !!!

[todmarbri]

Barrack Hussein Obama was a student in Pakistan and took classes in the fourth grade or so on the Koran. He is far more sympathetic to the extremist muslims than anyone realizes.

[todmarbri]

And the left has become the home of slacker losers who despise free market capitalism and want a continual handout. The left will only succeed as long as the masses are dependant for their subsistence.

[bobhardball]

Have a look at my profile to understand this: I am sick and tired of conservative and liberal ideologues. These people are the VERY reason why the U.S. is falling far behind China, India, Russia, Brazil and The European Community. We do NOT need a conservative, liberal, big or small government BUT a government that works. PERIOD !!!

[todmarbri]

Those economies you mentioned are dependent upon the US economy. They are failing with us. Our gov't definitely needs a revamping. However, definitely not the massive gov't growth that Obama will mandate.

[bobhardball]

I do NOT agree with the stimulus forged by the Liberals. BUT the truth is: The Liberals WON the elections. So instead of criticizing Obama's stimulus plan on the air or giving Rush Limbaugh the opportunity to make fool of objective conservative critics, the Conservatives should fight EXCLUSIVELY behind closed doors to inject some of their ideas into the liberal stimulus plan. Is that so hard to understand and do? 'Cause we have had enough politics in the last 2 years !!!

[UncookedVanilla]

AssociatedPress itself has a video from Dec. 10 titled "Homicide Probe in Apparent NYC Hate Crime", the sketch of the suspect clearly depicts a Black male.

[geargemartin]

The UN is the worlds biggest unfunny joke. useless and ineffectual
