Obama releasing 'reformed' Guantanamo prisoners for reasons including having taken up yoga

President Barack Obama is moving ahead with his push to close the Guantanamo Bay prison despite the uproar over the exchange of five Taliban prisoners for a captured American soldier, an administration official said Thursday.

The Periodic Review Board has determined that more former 'forever prisoners,' including one who says he has been reformed by practicing yoga and another who was a bodyguard for Bin Laden but now wants to start a 'milk and honey farm' are fit for release to their homelands or repatriation.

Ghaleb Nasser al Bihani, 35, told a parole board in April that he had read the biographies of Dr Martin Luther King Jr and the Dalai Lama and aspired to live 'an ordinary life.'

Well, at least upper class liberal voters will likely find even more commonality with terrorists, YOGA!

I just wonder how these institutions will feel once these terrorists come back and start attacking their very bastions.

This is why I advise families to band together and keep resources and start getting ready to hunker down and ride out the storm.

I cannot imagine how this blow will affect military morale; all that work and sacrifice to imprison these monsters and now lo and behold, Obama is releasing them.

It’s mind boggling. The man is directly aiding a terrorist organization. Our political system is being overwhelmed by this evil doer, Obama.

Exactly; thankfully Paris wasn’t incinerated like Hitler wanted it to be.

IIRC, a German General, Von Choltitz, refused to carry out the order. I've read the various theories as to why, but the one that reads most true is that he was trying to save his own life. Most of the high level nazis realized they'd lost the war and were looking for ways to survive its end. Von Choltitz knew that no matter what else he'd done, if he burned Paris the Alies WOULD burn him. And of course, if he didn't burn Paris, and violated orders to do so, he could claim to be the protector of Paris.

It apparently worked - he wasn't put to death. In fact he was released from prison after only two years.

Cognitive dissonance is a phrase that comes to mind.

This MadMax is armed and ready. In fact the whole family is. As we are learning, so is part of our street, except the liberals. I guess they’re gonna to use their dog as their protection. Oh, well.

Ever see the funny movie “Zombieland”?

Follow-up film will be entitled “Obamaland - Zombies, piled high and deep”.

Coming to a neighborhood near you soon, esp. if you live in a major urban city or illegal immigrant infested rathole.
