Apparently our New President, felt the two most urgent issues facing his administration were the release of Terrorists from "Club Gitmo" and funding foreign Abortions with Your tax money. At least we know where his priorities are.
Even the most Liberal among us, who have supported the measure to close Gitmo in Theory, they really liked accuse the Bush Administration of Torture policies, are now starting to question the Reality of the decision to release or redetain Terrorists inside the United States.
Even over at the Liberal safe haven the Huffington Post Obama's move raised some questions with contributor, Sam Stein, who wrote yesterday:
Yet Obama has already found that closing the prison is easier said than done. And if he fails, there'll be no shortage of Republicans to remind him that they told him so. On Wednesday, Senate Republicans voiced skepticism with the idea that the president would be able to break down a detention center housing what they claim most dangerous terrorists.....
......The real challenges, however, are not political but legal in nature. The president and his lawyers will have to maneuver deftly in order to remove 250 detainees from a facility in under a year. Federal criminal trials will commence, and in some cases individuals will be transferred to other prisons.

Ah yes, the million dollar question: Where will we put them? Will those that don't have enough 'evidence' against them be released? Or as the article goes on to question, Will the 'Double Jeopardy' laws be enacted making the Terrorists, untouchable by American Law? Oh that's just great.
The New York Times which should win some kind of Award from our Enemies, for it's efforts to close Gitmo, carried a story yesterday, about one Gitmo prisoner that had been released, that turned up running a Terrorist operation that was resposible a "deadly bombing" of the United States Embassy in Yemen. The Time seems surprised to learn that the Rehabilitation didn't work...
Oh Really? The guy is a Terrorist. Rehabilitation is only effective in breaking bad behaviors, that someone wants to Break. Alcoholics go to AA when they want to stop drinking, you can't force them to, it never works. Well a Terrorists, took that job for One reason only, to Kill Infidels. Telling them to stop won't work either.
For all those still celebrating, what our enemies will take as a sign of weakness. Just one more questioin for you.... if we Can't release them, where should we put them? Some Republicans are already starting to push back against the thought of housing America's Enemies in their home state....
"I don't want them in Texas," said Sen. John Cornyn, (R-TX). "I intend to write a letter saying, 'Don't send them here. And I would suspect there might be Senators from 50 states who say the same thing. I don't know."
Good News for you Racists, Bitter Clinging Pennsylvanians, John Murtha, the man who has never seen Congressional Pork that he didn't like, has already offered to Welcome the Terrorists to his district with Open Arms. Michelle Malkin dedicated her syndicated column today to "The John Murtha Jihadist Correctional Facility".
I guess there are a few Million dollar questions waiting to be answered, but Obama's not taking any of them....
As Politco reports, Obama "flashed irritation" when he felt he was being "Questioned" about his apparent hypocrisy in selecting Lobbyists for his cabinet, after Promising a "Lobbyist" free administration....
"Ahh, see," he said, "I came down here to visit. See this is what happens. I can't end up visiting with you guys and shaking hands if I'm going to get grilled every time I come down here."
So Three days in, What have we learned? Barack Obama has told our enemies that we are no longer serious about holding them accountable for their actions, babies around the world will be Aborted on the tax payer dime, and Our new President doesn't think he has to answer to anyone. It's going to be an interesting four years.
