Oh My God!

We all know I don't have as much political savvy as some, but when I heard about our new President closing Guantanamo so quickly after sworn in, I have to admit, it worried me. How could he have made such a fast decision, if not just to appease those who detest the suspected mistreatment of the terrorist-type personalities housed there? Do we really care how they're treated? The guy who participated in 9/11 really didn't care about the thousands of people massacred that day. I say let him have his wish to serve Allah by sacrificing his own life, and in the most horrific way.

Now, transcripts of Obama's press conference regarding his snap decision are available for all to view, and they reflect reasons why I should worry. Coming soon to a neighborhood near you... could be a headline for where one of these unsavory characters could turn up. Clearly, their own countries don't want them back, so shouldn't someone plan what to do with them before turning them loose on US soil?

Now I wonder should I have listened to those who argued he had no experience for the position. In the military, one has to elevate through the ranks, yet, Obama, never having served at all, is our Commander and Chief. Clearly, this is an important decision and something that should have been researched a little more before putting pen to paper and flexing a muscle. When he took office, I put my faith and trust in him along with the majority of Americans. I hope it wasn't misplaced.

BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States: By the authority vested in me as president -- as president by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, in order to effect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo and promptly to close the detention facility at Guantanamo, consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice, I hereby order.
And we then provide the process whereby Guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now.

OBAMA (chiseling in marble sound effect): In order to effect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo, uh, and promptly to close the detention facility at Guantanamo consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and interests of justice, I hereby order. And we then we will then, uh, provide the process whereby Guantanamo will be closed no later than, uh, one year from now. We will be... Uhhh.... Ummm.... Is there a separate executive order, Greg, with respect to how we're going to dispose of the detainees? Is that it, eh, uh, what we're doing?
CRAIG: We'll set up a process!
OBAMA: We will be, uh, setting up a process whereby this is going to be taking place.
There's more!
OBAMA: What we're doing here is to set up a special interagency task force on detainee disposition. They are going to provide me with information in terms of how we are able to deal in the disposition of some of the detainees that may be currently in Guantanamo that we cannot transfer to other countries, who could pose a serious danger to the United States, uh, but, uh, we cannot try because of various problems related to evidence, uh, in a Article 3 court. So this task force is going to provide us with, uh, a series of recommendations on, uh, that. Is that correct, Greg?
CRAIG: That's right. And detainee policy going forward.
OBAMA: And detainee policy going forward so that we don't find ourselves in these kinds of situations, uh, in the future.
CRAIG: And there is clear guidance for the military as well.
OBAMA: And that we are providing clear guidance to our military in terms of having to do with it.
