Just think, you might be in spitting distance of the leading terrorist mastermind behind 9/11 – Khalid Sheik Mohammed. He likely will never be tried and even if he ever is, he will never be executed. Lucky you, imagine what having former Guantanamo Bay Muslim terrorists in your neighborhood will do to your property values.
Washington Examiner Republican Senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Pat Roberts of Kansas are up in arms about reports that the Pentagon is scouting sites in their home states to house terrorist prisoners currently detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
“We have received reports of President Obama’s attempt to shut down Guantanamo Bay, which once again reflects another egregious overstep by this administration,” Roberts said in a statement on Friday, referring to the law preventing transferring any of the inmates to a U.S. prison.
“Congress has consistently stopped Obama by law from moving a single detainee to the U.S.,” Roberts said in reaction to reports that Kansas’s Fort Leavenworth is being considered as the terrorist suspects’ new home.
“I shut down this administration’s nominee for secretary of the Army in 2009 to prevent moving any detainees to Kansas and will do it again if necessary,” he said. “Not on my watch will any terrorist be placed in Kansas.”
Graham was equally emphatic upon learning that Defense Secretary Ash Carter is also considering Charleston for the new high-risk installation.
“If the detainees need to be moved, they must be moved to a maximum security location in a remote area far from heavily populated areas with vital infrastructure,” Graham told the Washington Post earlier this week. “Charleston does not meet that criteria.”
The Pentagon on Thursday confirmed to lawmakers that it is studying both Forth Leavenworth and the Consolidated Naval Brig in Charleston as potential sites.
“These visits will also help refine our baseline standard for what a facility should look like to inform potential selection of other locations to evaluate in the future,” the Defense Department notification read.
Transferring the remaining 116 detainees to the U.S. is being considered as an option for closing Guantanamo Bay. Moving the prisoners to other countries requires congressional notification and unanimous sign off by the departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice and State, along with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Earlier this week the Pentagon said it would present Congress with a plan to shutter Guantanamo Bay when they return to Washington after Labor Day.
If Gitmo prisoners must come to SC, then send the terrorist to Ft. Jackson in Columbia. This is an excellent basic and infantry training base and these transferees would provide real training on the ranges.
As long as their whereabouts are known to the public, their longevity can be measured in minutes. There were many innocent people killed that day, children included. Many survivors have vowed to avenge their deaths.
Obama wants to empty Gitmo so he can give up our lease and give it back to the Cuban government.
Where the hell is dorthy and todo suppose to go now?? Kansas is shot. Even here in “OZ” it is. a dumping ground for child raping, welfare abusing terrorists. Maybe she should take a flight to “middle earth”
All of them sent here so that Obama can free them or hey, how about a wholesale bunch of Presidential pardons? These men should all simply disappear. There are a large group of republicans attempting to save our nation from the threat of Islam and Obama. The only way anything really gets done is by violence. Despite what your elementary school teachers told you violence DOES solve problems. 186,000+ Marines acting on a declaration of war by Congress would do the job, both in stopping Obama and Islam.
I love your plan, but if these savages from Club Gitmo
are placed near the democrat Stronghold of
Charleston, SC.,you will find some resistance.
The Gov. & the Clyburn family might consider these
Islamic monsters to be their kind of refugees.
Planted six feet deep would be the only acceptable location.
I’ll agree to moving them to Leavenworth, provided that they share a cell block with Barack Hussein O ‘Bama, Moochelle, Hillary Rodham Clinton, John Kerry, Harry Reid, Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, the rest of the traitors in his cabinet, any member of muslim brotherhood that has had contact with them, all cair representatives, all imams and anyone else who has supported islam. All are guilty of treason and all belong far from our people and in federal prison. Guards should be Iraq and Afghanistan Combat Vets. They can then jihad down, watching episodes of “Orange is the New Black, American Sniper and Blackhawk Down. ” They’ll have plenty of spiritual guidance from their imams and can bang their heads on the concrete floor and blow farts at heaven together for the rest of their earthly existence. Of course, the “ladies ” must wear full muslima attire and be prepared to put out 30 to 40 times a day, but not to worry! Prison health services will be happy to stitch up their putrid, disease infested vaginas so the men will have a continuous supply of virgins. And don’t bother crying or begging for help. You didn’t think our people in Benghazi needed it. The veterans who are your guards will get back to you. Right after they finish 18 holes at the local country club!!! I think I could agree to that!
Oh Boy ! Here he goes again !
If anyone can’t see the purpose behind our Serial Liar In The White House’s agenda to close Gitmo, they need a white cane. Gitmo is a statement of resolve of The United States of America to detain and interrogate muslim terrorists that are dangerous to our troops and our society.
Obama wants to remove that statement to further please his muslim masters.
Like his refusal to call the islamic isis, islamic and his refusal to intone the words
“islamic terrorist”, he is trying to hide a herd of camels behind a blade of grass and pretend that muslims are not barbaric, and don’t intend to make over the world into an islamic sh*thole.
Listen Barry ! Most of the thinking people in the U.S. are used to your wimpy, limpid lies and don’t give them credence any longer. Even the liberal and democRAT propagandists know that you’re lying and why. But they have to keep pretending.
Obama intends to use the closing of Gitmo as a neon sign to show the muslim terrorists his cooperation and clear the way for returning the property to Cuba.
There ! He did it again !
Thanks for the pic. This cartoon is going to my FB page. Problem is, all off my friends already know that the Nation of Islam is the enemy and that Obama is one of them. The rest of the idiot liberals believe we can coexist. Far too many of the supposed conservatives in America are too busy with their heads up their ass to recognize that our country is on the verge of all out war.
