Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula first came to prominence in Saudi Arabia in May 2003. There is absolutely no proof that Gitmo had anything to do with the group’s formation. The first operational leader of AQAP was killed in June 2003.

Barry’s really streching. The USS COLE bombing was in 2000. A CIA drone killed the head of Yemen’s Al Qaeda branch in 2002.

Odumbo is running out of excuses. When pundits talk about weakness, it should be followed up with incompetence.

Well he is right in so far as we sent them to Gitmo for later release rather than executing them!

More than 10.000 Yemenis took part in the Afghanistan jihad against the Soviet Union. Many returned to Yemen where they joined the Salafist movement in the region south of Sanaa and in the mountains to the east. OBL, while in Saudi Arabia in 1990, funded and armed an Al Qaeda inspired revolt in Yemen. Al Qaeda then took part in the 1994 revolution which united North and South Yemen, but left the north an uneasy alliance of Islamic leadership (many Muslim Brothers) and Islamist revolutionaries. Yemenis were present when OBL formed his umbrella organization in Afghanistan in 1998. In sum, Gitmo had nothing to do with the foundation of Al Qaeda in Yemen and Saudi Arabia; it has, however, supplied much needed leadership from
the Islamists released from that prison.

Every time Obama ´pens his mouth he proves he is not only a liar but too stupid to be president of the USA.

Obi should read this article dated December 20, 2000, from CNN regarding the USS Cole bombers. Note that the article even pre-dates the 9-11 attacks by almost a year and certainly pre-dates the opening of GITMO:
