WH: Move Gitmo Detainees to US So They're Treated 'The Way That American Citizens Are Treated'
Cybercast News Service ^ | February 24, 2016 | 9:49 AM EST | Susan Jones

Bringing dangerous Guantanamo Bay inmates to U.S. prisons would undermine a terrorist recruiting tool, White House spokesman Josh Earnest argued on Tuesday:

"Well, their argument would be a lot tougher, because the detention that we would have in place would be cleanly in line with American values, right? That we would ensure that this is consistent with the way that American citizens are treated. That certainly is more consideration than these terrorists give to their adversaries, to say the least." ...

Yep. 0dunga wants to make our States SPECIFIC terrorist targets. 0dunga talks about "recruitment tools"? LOL! Then he suggests giving ISIS and Al Qaeda SPECIFIC States to target (the States who will hold former Gitmo detainees). 0dunga IS A TERRORIST OPERATIVE.

BTW, isn't there a FEDERAL LAW which prohibits transferring any Gitmo detainee to our mainland?

At what point do we stop worrying about making jihadis angry;

They're already angry and there's no benefit in playing by their rules.

I say piss 'em off until their heads explode.

Gitmo prisoners have better facilities and receive better care than any US prisoner. What is Obama talking about?

So Obama wants the OSP to ambush them like they did Lavoy Finicum? up there in Oregon-branding them lawless and violent if they do not protest like the organized black riots in Fergason and Baltimore? Ambushed as they drive from one County to the next,unarmed—es verdad Obama will make certain they have their cultural behavior protected—the pressure cooker bombs, and suicide vests—the car bombs, and RPGs so essential to Islamic men to be able to slay anybody who they disagree with.But how can they see how we live here unless the BLM burns their ranchlands and homes—steals their cattle and their land.

I understand this bunch at Gitmo were captured on the battlefield. That would make them enemy combatants.

The question is not whether they were combatants. It is whether they were lawful combatants. In the latter case the laws of warfare apply. In the former case they would not be covered by the laws of warfare and may be disposed of as seen fit. These folks are not lawful combatants.

“I understand this bunch at Gitmo were captured on the battlefield. That would make them enemy combatants”

Except most weren’t wearing a uniform or representing a nation. Which doesnt make them US citizens or entitle them to our Constitutional protections.

Notice the only people they want to protect are our enemies.

They do not deserve trials...the ones that both obama and bush sent back have all gone back to the battlefield to kill infidels...he just wants to give it back to the castro bros...there is absolutely no reason why this SOB hasn’t been already impeached like any white man would’ve been! Thousand of reasons to do it cause this POS, muslim, traitor, American hating queer should get what I am sure he gave to Scalia in such a “timely” manner!

I must admit I have mixed feelings about this.

Right now they have it great at club Getmo, they spend their days playing soccer and hanging out with their palls. The ACLU have teams of lawyers making sure our Marines cater to their every need. They have it great.

I would not mind seeing them locked up in a supermax on lock down for 23 HRS a day with only one hour alone in the yard to exorcise.

I predict that if any were transferred here they would be begging to get back to their island paradise within hours.
