The Pentagon is poised to submit a plan to Congress for closing the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, a spokesman said Monday.

Navy Capt. Jeff Davis said the administration will meet the Tuesday deadline for submitting a proposal for closing the facility and moving its terrorist detainees.

"We understand that the deadline is tomorrow, and it's our intent to meet it," Davis said.

The plan will call for the closure of the detention facility and lay out several options on how to do so, Davis said.

President Obama is pushing to close the prison and fulfill a long-standing campaign promise before leaving office. There are 91 detainees remaining at the prison.

"The plan is to submit to Congress what our thoughts are on the issue and what we see is a way ahead necessary to achieve the closure of Guantanamo and to specifically point out the need for legislative relief," Davis said.

WHY would you expect Americas FIRST Mulim President to do anything differently?

One of Husseins first priorities is to release as many terrorists as he can. And why not? The presstitutes are never going to tell the public who he Is working for. The presstitutes never investigate anything unless they are told to do so

It’s so easy to lie to Americans. They are such fools to believe what they are told

Lifting the embargo and reestablishing relationships with Cuba is a prelude to Obama returning Guantanamo to Cuba..........
