Obama and The War on Terror

So, President Obama wants to shut down Gitmo and send those terrorists overseas or to prisons here in America. Nice. Well, what if their countries don't want them then what? Or say a country like Yemen takes them back and then early releases them (or they escape) so they can terrorize another day like Said Ali al-Shihri or Khalid Duhham Al-Jawary who is about to be released.

Sensible lawmakers don't want these detainees in their states because of the threat they would cause if they happen to escape. I don't blame them. Even Obama admits there are some dangerous detainees in Gitmo. The word "some" is an understatement. "Most" is a much better word Mr. President. After all they were found on the battlefield. There might be two or three that wondered into the battlefield by mistake. I guess that could happen. A guard in Gitmo told a 60 minutes correspondent that a detainee told the guard if he were ever released he would come back and kill the guard. Not go out and have a beer with him but to kill him. After all it was the detainee's duty.

Short of putting a bullet in the head of these terrorists (after all a dead terrorist is a good terrorist--they can't terrorize again. Also, don't they want to meet their 40 virgins?) and dumping them in the water, we can prison them in Washington. I mean Obama (and most Dems) thinks these detainees are safe people right? Or at least innocent until proven guilty. Then put them in Washington. If Obama does not like that idea then he better re-think closing down Gitmo. These Jihadists are not criminals. They are warriors. Warriors don't stop being warriors until the war is over. Jihad is holy war. A military tribunal is the only court for these detainees. A criminal court is not the right venue. US security is on the line. If ever any of these detainees are released into society the judge or jury better darn make sure they are not a threat to this country. If another 9/11 happens Obama and the Dems are through being in power.

One other thing. Obama is thinking about keeping Bush's wire tapping overseas. I thought Obama was all about change.
