This is really the only logical reason for republican leadership to weigh in on the subject, much less weigh in in an attempt to squash to growing sentiment. In other words, it’s not time yet to throw Obama overboard. He has some very important work to do before his troubles can be brought to light. Obama Hussein is the cover America needs during any action against Iran. He’s going straight to the friendly nations of the middle east, Egypt for starters and will be there for one reason and one reason only, to keep the Arab street from going radically against the US over Israel’s actions.
He’s the President now for a reason. Too many republicans are comfortable with him there, most notably War Hawk George Bush, for it to be any other way. Hell Cheney just disagrees with Obama on the edges when it comes to America’s favorite pet project, keeping the Islamic militancy movement from getting any bigger.
If Obama wanted to bring the people from Guantanamo to the states, it was just to mollify ME feelings, not out of some sense of justice. He was trying kiss ME ass. But even he found out you can’t try foreign terrorists with US jurors. It violates one of the most basic tenets of the Magna Carta. You can only sit in judgement of your peers and likewise deserve to only be judged by your peers should you be charged with a crime.
