Barack Obama promised to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay
as soon as he took office for almost two years on the campaign trail,
and he made that one of his first actions when he assumed office. Now,
suddenly, Obama has discovered
what we all knew the entire time — that closing Gitmo means sending
terrorists back to countries that won’t secure them, especially Yemen.
Now they don’t have a Plan B for some of the worst of the worst
In other words, Yemen wants us to pay them for the privilege of
releasing the Gitmo detainees into their custody, and in return, they
won’t even promise to keep an eye on them. Yemen has already proven
itself a revolving door
for al-Qaeda terrorists released into their custody. Now they want us
to pay for the grease on the wheels, and all so that we can let the
Gitmo Yemenis get back to the business of plotting to kill Americans.
In fact, they want $100 million, which is perhaps not coincidentally
the same amount of money Obama asked his cabinet to find in savings
this week. What a bargain! We can release terrorists so that they can
try killing more of us, and pay $100 million for that privilege.
