Done ! Finally. That glaring eyesore on the American landscape and source of so much national embarrassment is finally closed. Would you believe it ?

And on a related note, the current administration took a bold step forward and finally prosecuted an official connected to the US torture program.

i know computers are confusing to some but if you type in "guantanamo congress" where it says "google" you get something like this-

congress has blocked everything obama has come up with concerning guantanamo and everything else, then come around and blame him for not getting anything done, exactly like this thread has done and i am getting sick of it. meanwhile, the country rots away. if obama wanted to paint the whitehouse white, congress would block that. you righties are absolutely amazing in your self made bubble of ignorance and pomp. j

you found one instance of the senate blocking obama instead of congress blocking him, so that supports loaf's and your insistence that it's all obama's fault that guantanamo is still open. interesting logic, you must be republicans!!! Rolling Eyes

you will have a lot more fun if you pm hillbilly. obama said first thing he would do was close guantanamo? wrong, post a source. i also know he did not expect the repubs to block everything he tried to do.
are you saying every site i posted was lying? i'm done with this, it is a non discussion, research before posting.

Beiber Obama is such a faker.

He lip synch'ed his promise to close Gitmo and all his fans cheered.

Then he quietly issued an executive order in 2011 making indefinite detention his official policy.

And the media said nothing.

The detainees deserve a quick military trial and closure.

The Geneva Conventions and Habeus Corpus definitely do not apply to illegal enemy combatants in any way.

In spite of where/how the Dems seem to be standing now, there is a good chance ( 75% ? ) they will screw things up just as badly in the last two years of the Obama Admin as they did in the first two years.
