Congress he had, so that shoots down that part of your argument. And what are you telling me, that even governors from Obama's own party weren't "willing to take them", why is that?

GITMO will never be closed, and Obama wasn't particularly serious about shutting it down in the first place. That was political pandering to the younger, more hard-left wing of the Democrat party. Obomber is a slick one.

I don't see why we don't just load them all on a plane, fly them over middle of the Pacific, open the bomb-bay doors and shove them out. It's not like anyone will miss them.

Cause he was doing other things?

I don't understant why we can't just give them a trial, then throw them into jail for life or execute them.

Master_Live

Because the US government doesn't have sufficient evidence to try some inmates yet believe they are to dangerous to release, so they just hold them indefinitely.

This makes it seem completely rational to hold them then.

Having no evidence that someone is a terrorist, but being "convinced" that they're dangerous anyway is rational now? You're one of the most entrenched status-quo apologists on this site, and your mental gymnastics would be impressive if it wasn't so sad.

Actually, that makes the US look like human rights violator. If they don't have the evidence to try them, too bad, then release them. What gives the US the right hold other human beings indefinitely without trial?

That would make way too much sense. lrn2politics, bro

Also, didn't Obama say he was closing that place like four years ago?

He tried, the republicans blocked it.

He didn't do it while he had both houses of congress in pocket? Why not? Too busy pushing a trillion dollar stimulus package, full of more earmarks and slushfunds than any bill in history (immediately after claiming that he would "not sign any bill with even a single earmark")? Nice. Obama apologists... Can't believe they haven't learned anything yet.

At that price we could at least afford to give them a nicer place to stay. Not all that unreasonable seeing as how the government (applies to both the congress and president) want to see them stay their for the rest of their lives without trial.

The fact it hasn't been closed yet is frankly shameful and I'm certain our children or their children will read about it in history books and what went on and think " What on earth were they doing?" Especially since there are inmates there who are innocent but still kept there cause it's a "political inconvenience" to release them.

when he wakes up and decides to do it, it will be done, sadly he is Bush raised to the next corrupt level. he is not a puppet, he is a politician, and it is insane how many blind eyes politically snared people are willing to turn in order to salvage their world view. TLDR: you have been played
