Doesn't know what he's doing. He is just going to let these terrorists go, so they can return to kill us another day.

Or he is going to bring them to the US to languish in our prision system, and prehaps convert a few of the other prisioners to radical islam.

I think we should execute every one of them. Oops, that wouldn't be politically correct. Thats the old way of dealing with murderers.

Why do most people never appear less wise than when they're trying to impress others with a big-time dose of cynicism?

If there was a symbolic act that would tell the rest of the world that things are going to change, closing GITMO is it. If he's ready, that should be Obama's first act as president.

Terrible move!

Besides, what country who doesn't already harbor terrorists is going to take the released prisoners?

I hate to put someone who is as eloquent and charismatic as Obama is, but if what this is saying is true, this is just not a good sign.

People have been telling me, "Dude, you're crazy...Obama wants to unite the country. He's going to bring change."

True, Obama is bringing change...the change WE DON'T NEED! And most people are not going to like hearing about this change!

No offense to those of you who are buying into this Obama mania...I'm telling you, most everything Obama is doing is going to poison America...this is just a small sign of bigger things to come.

Unless he decides to switch political parties and join the "True Church." Then everything he does will be medicine for America after the poison of those pesky Democrats in Congress, right? I think that's what I heard on Fox News and Rush's radio show.

Obama doesn't seem to know who our enemies are! He think conservatives are the enemy. Even Joe Biden understands terrorists much better than Obama.

They will come to the US, be found innocent from lack of sufficient evidence, and then enter the citizenship program. Just that many more Democrat votes in 2012.

Read; This job is a lot tougher than I thought. Forget all those things I said in the campaign.

I suppose on day 2 he'll release all the child molesters. I'm not kidding.

The WORST MISTAKE that Obama is preparing is to issue an executive order his first week in office is to close the U.S. military base and the prison at Guantanamo Bay. That end of that Island would OPEN the flood gates for "drug runners" to use, or Russia to re-install their missiles pointed at the United States some 90 miles off shore from Florida, or, perhaps even China, or anyone else for that matter, as a takeover perhaps of America, or, to destroy key targets here. But hey, what would a "generation X'er know" that's also a anti-war freak and knows NOTHING about History. Oh I forgot, some "socialist" team member told he to do it. Plus a few "I, Me and My" generation 0-bot's lead by their puppet master Howard Dean at moveOn dot org, told them that water boarding is not surf boarding. So, let the fun begin I guess, but when it takes a missle 30 minutes to get from Russia to Washington DC, and go boom, think about how long it'll take to get there from Cuba. Or even in your State, say 2 to 4 minutes.

Over three decades, we built the best fighting force and professional career in service to one's country the world had ever seen. It wasn't easy, and we had to look back to where the train had fallen off the tracks. This is certainly not to take anything away from the brave men and women who valiantly fought in the Vietnam War; they were courageous beyond words. Our military at the time was not self-sustaining in terms of overall retained experience providing the top-down mentoring necessary to build the new all-volunteer force. Now, a military career can never be looked upon as just a job, but rather a lifestyle that affects your entire family. Many of our very best, God Bless them, serve just for love of country. The numbers in this queue climbed significantly post 9-11 just as they had in December of 1941. So what is the Obama administration talking about even before Inauguration Day? We are starting to see an attack on some of those programs many worked so hard to secure. Maybe it's all part of the wealth redistribution program. You have it and worked for it, I haven't but want it.
