*Sigh.* You know he's been trying, and you know that your peeps in Congress keep preventing it so they can blame him.

Why are you still here trying to convince sane people that the truth isn't the truth? None of us are fooled just because you keep saying a lie over and over. This is getting sadder by the minute.

How does that sound?
The ones who were "enemy combatants" have to be released sometime. Logically, this would be when troops are finally withdrawn from Afghanistan. You can't imprison enemy combatants after a war has ended. Thank God there might be some limit to this madness.

Democrats ran Congress his first 2 years in office.

That's within the timeframe he said he would move them.

Straw man
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A straw man or straw person, also known in the UK as an Aunt Sally,[1][2] is a type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[3] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and to refute it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.[3][4] This technique has been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly in arguments about highly charged, emotional issues.

He clearly wasn't trying very hard during the years when he had the numbers to control whatever he wanted to. Again, your entire argument is a FAILURE just like your weak attempt at an insult. Quit defending these spineless fools, it just makes you one of them.

Currently, the government spends $1.6 million per prisoner per year at Guantanamo, and there are 90 prisoners there. If they were transferred to federal prisons it would cost $34,000 per prisoner, but on Friday June 14th the "small government" Republicans voted to not transfer the inmates to federal prisons on American soil.

Many of those prisoners are such bad actors, their own countries have refused to accept them back, because they are so dangerous.

Ask 0bama why he is not cycling these prisoners thru the military tribunals.

Do you not comprehend the difference between a lie and failing to get something done because someone else stopped you (Democrats also went along with blocking closure, 90 - 6 in the senate...).

If you say you're going to mow the lawn, and attempt to do so, only to have your neighbor come along and steal your lawn mower, are you a liar?
