Returning Gitmo’s detainees to Yemen defies common sense.
President Obama has belatedly declared that the near miss above Detroit constituted "a catastrophic breach of security"and ordered a review of America’s intelligence efforts. We’re glad to hear it,but let’s hope the Commander in Chief also rethinks his own approach to counterterrorism.
Recent events have exposed the shortcomings of treating terror as a law enforcement problem and rushing to close Guantanamo Bay. A new wave of jihadists is coming of age,inspiring last month’s deadly attack at Ft. Hood and nearly bringing down Northwest Flight 253,and next time we may not be so lucky.
Their latest sanctuary lies in unruly Yemen,headquarters for al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula,or AQAP,which last year pulled off a series of local bombings,including at the U.S. embassy in the capital Sana,killing 13. The al Qaeda chapter in Yemen has re-emerged under the leadership of a former secretary to Osama bin Laden.
Along with a dozen other al Qaeda members,he was allowed to escape from a Yemeni jail in 2006. His deputy,Said Ali al-Shihri,was a Saudi inmate at Gitmo who after his release "graduated"from that country’s terrorist "rehabilitation"program before moving to Yemen last year. About a fifth of the so-called graduates have ended back on the Saudi terror most-wanted list,according to a GAO study this year.
Perspective appointees as czars to the Black House and theObammy team…
Perhaps he can appoint these fellas to the protection detail for Michele and the "PICANINNYS"….what say U…
This ass-hole is going to get us all killed! The man is a terrorist sympathathizer. He has already failed to protect and serve and we need to remove along with Pelosi,Reid,Schumer,Nelson,Frank..well I guess all the democrats and some republicans too. We just need to start over. I say all the democrats because they are going along with everything like sheep to slaughter. God help us.
For every "Obeyme",Pelosi,Reid,Holder,Frank and Soros,there's 10,000 disciples of Jesus Christ storming the gates of hell with prayer,holding back the evil one until it's time for him to be revealed. As long as they keep BO dummied down with cocaine and reading their teleprompters we will continue to watch and pray. The persecution of the Church,the Bride of Christ will only cause it to advance,even if we have to go underground. Since we're in this world we know that these things have to happen so that the "Man of Sin"can be revealed. Keep looking up,pray specifically at the gates of hell and remember,we win in the end !! Obeyme is not,nor will ever be,a god.
JanieD you have that right obama will never be a GOD which is JESUS CHRIST he might be the god of this world satan he may be the antichrist looks like it to me if he is things will only go down more evil and evil but THERE IS A GOD IS HEAVEN THAT IS NOT SURPRISED BY ALL OF THIS AND JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR US AND HE WILL NOT LEAVE US OR FORSAKE US WHO ARE CHRISTIANS AND IF YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIANS PLEASE ASK JESUS INTO YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME HEAVEN WILL BE WORTH IT ALL
