  • Once released they will attack again. 61 of the detainees released so far have gone back to terrorism again. Our borders are wide open so it won't be a problem for them to return to the US and commit acts of terrorism again. I'm sure they will have no problem topping the 911 attacks.

  • I've been dancing all day about this. 3 days in, and he's already made a move like that?! I can't believe how fast he's moving, I'm thrilled.

  • Thank god Obama did away with Guantanamo and indefinite detention. He truly is a great man.

  • 2 Years later: Gtimo still open.

    I liked the time that Obama said "Every Man get's their Day in Court" Then Obama signs an assassination order to kill an American Citizen that was helping the Taliban.

    ... and the beat goes on

  • Wow...I'm living in 2011 and Obama has now told America that Gitmo WON'T be closed. Where's the outrage at Obama like many of you had for Bush concerning Gitmo. "Bush lied." lol...looks somebody else is lying too...and it's not over yet.

  • Will close Guantanamo...yeah right...

    ..take a look at this:

  • this is scary if u read this this far u will die in 10 days if u dont send to any 15 videos in 2 hours

  • Finally, someone who makes sense!! You are right, those terrorists deserve more than our babies!!

  • Guantanamo is a really bad place. This torture is awful. But what's really bad is drilling a hole in babies head and sucking the brains out and cutting a babies head off while it is in the mothers womb.

    Yeah Libtards! You are so compassionate.

  • I don't understand the stupid herd keep saying Obama's closing Guantanamo. He's just changing the name and location of it!!!! Freaken retards!

    By the way... I think we should close San Quentin... at least those rampaging murderers are American!

  • I read about that last night.Well as you appear more frustrated than hateful, I don't have any nasty words for you in parting. Time will tell.
