National security adviser: Obama can meet Gitmo closing schedule
The White House national security adviser said that the Guantanamo Bay detention center could be closed by January as scheduled Sunday. "I'm confident we will be able to meet that deadline," Jim Jones told Fox News' Chris Wallace.
Appearing on the same program, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell disagreed with the decision to close the detention center. "This is a program that's not broke and doesn't need fixing," he said.





but where are the trials based on evidence. why is this looking like boosh's third term.
Obama just might not be full of shit, but his entire administration appears to be.
Some stuff you can't make up!
An easy solution would be for Obama to move all the Gitmo prisoners to Bagram. No more Gitmo, yet we can still torture them. Everybody wins!
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
And the rest of the western world gets to take care of and clean up the US's crap, again .......
Well that's what you get when you aspire to be a nanny state.

that looks like it might actually be fulfilled.
And screw you McConnell!!!
You don't know shit.
It's a system that is not broken and doesn't need fixing ???
Why don't you read the f**king constitution before you become a senator you f**king moron.
To these neo-CON asshats, it's "just a goddamn piece of paper"!!!
... they'd either release the transcript of that moment, or that there were corroborating witnesses.
meee too!
... 'not broken' Mitch?
So, we can't find the money and the time to fix our schools, or reform healthcare, but, hey - easy as pie to throw guys we picked up off the battlefield and hold them indefinitely without charges, torture them, and deprive them of their constitutional rights.
It would please me no end to have Obama really be the fascist/socialist/secret Muslim terrorist y'all keep whinging about and have him lock your sorry, corrupt asses up in Gitmo. Summer camp, it ain't.
every single efftard who says there's nothin' to Gitmo. I want to see their a$$es sitting there, getting the deplorable treatment each and every inmate there receives. I want them there for an unlimited time, with no access to phone, e-mail, or any other method of communication with their families or others.
Then let's hear about how easy life at Gitmo is, huh?! A$$hat McConnell, how about you be the first?!
"This is a program that's not broke and doesn't need fixing,"
so exactly how many convictions did the Bush Admin. get out of this facility anyway? anyone?
But I'd like to see a few convictions of those who started the program.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
According to mcconnell the nation's health delivery system isn't broken.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
And the GOP isn't broken.
But...teh gays are.
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
And we care what Mitch McConnell says..why?
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
Grind it into powder and set it the wind.
AND salts...
and no one can recite the chants right anymore...
It just ain't the same.

so much more dynamic when he was younger!
can't ya just see him dancin' the jitterbug and wishing he had a party dress like the debutantes.
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
Not a bad set of gams for a dude, lol!
I knew I could count on you when the chips are down!
Because he's an elected official who is always given a platform on TV and is a prominent obstructionist of all things moral and just.
I wish we didn't have to listen to him, but until that day, we must so we can refute these igits and their bankrupting policies.
Even us lowly citizens can make small changes on a person to person level.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
close Gitmo. We'll need a place for all the crazy 'teabagger terrorists' and right wing extremists, etc. that declared war on Liberals and Democracy.
These wingnuts are proving to be too violent and dangerous to put in Utah with the Mormons.
I'm terrified to have people like Scott Roeder and Jim Adkisson in American prisons. What if they convert other prisoners to their religious extremism and set off a wave of Christian terrorism in America?
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
you type like that like it hasn't already happened.
Further proof that these people are too dangerous to be held on American soil.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
And as for those people in jail...they'll likely get taken in by the aryan brotherhood...not a very dissimilar group when ya think about it.
An old buddy of mine had once travelled to northern Idaho to be with his fellow Aryan Brothers but quickly left because he said, "Those guys are f*cking crazy."
This is from a guy who'd been in prison four times, had a stroke from overdosing on coke, had all his teeth kicked out in a bar fight and would always say, "Any drug worth doing is worth injecting."
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
That guy sounds like he'd be a HOOT at parties.
I've seen the AB profiled on that history channel show, "Gangland" they may be crazy...but they're definitely scary.
He was one of those people who had a heart of gold and a brain of burnt toast. A living embodiment of all things I detest (racism, sexism, drug-dealing, vigilanteism, proud ignorance, proud Christian) and yet was one of the most loyal, caring and inspirational people to me when I was in a dark time.
He often told me, "If I ever hear you did any of the stuff I've done, I'll kick your stupid @ss."
Like the older brother I never had.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
maybe they'll intern Osama bin Laden's podiatrist somewhere stateside.
Then the right wingers can scurry under their beds and never come out again.
If you need to find one of 'em, just look for a quivering pile of blankets surrounded by a sea of pee.
Greedy as hell and afraid of everything.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
Sure... nothing is broken! While we're at it, let's let mom wear the dress she was assaulted in to church. Nothing is broken MY ASS! Our reputation is in shreds because of toe-in-line GOP like YOU who looked the other way!
Would you keep a deranged and rabid Pitt Bull locked up in your garage, FOREVER???? If these "prisoners" are soooooooooo dangerous that they can not even be brought to trial then why not simply execute them en-mass? If they are indeed THAT dangerous, no one would question their complete elimination. I mean if they are more dangerous than Dahmer, Manson, Dillinger, Gacy, The Symbionese Army, variety of mass shooters/killers, then my gawd.......Just kill 'em all! Otherwise treat them like most other human beings on this planet and be honest about it, if that is possible.
My girlfriend made a comment like that recently and I had to come back hard on that one.
1. What about the many who've been proven innocent? "Well, they were up to something if they got locked up."
2. How would that make us any better than the evil doers? "They started it."
3. No they didn't. (insert laundry list of Middle Eastern affairs over the past 100 years). "Oh..."
4. How are they so dangerous? Should we just kill all potentially dangerous people in our prisons? "Sure, if they're in prison they screwed up and don't deserve freedom anymore."
5. But, you're black? (She is) You do know how many black people are in prison for little to no reason right? "Well..."
And on it went until finally she gave up.
There are a lot of people who feel that is the answer.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
..so why not keep it open a little longer. Once we prosecute the war criminals, wouldn't it be nice to send them there for a little fun in the sun, luxurious rooms and a friendly staff to help you with daily flushings of your innards and that vertical massage technique of being slammed into walls..oh wait, we don't torture, now do we?
I can wish for things, can't I?

Everytime I see a picture of McConnell I can just visulze him doing the real "Teabag" thing! Smiling with a set of hairy nuts in his mouth!
