That's not incompetence if he was not allowed to follow through on what he intended. If I had the intention and plan to go out on a friday night, and my mother tells me I can't, does that mean I lied about what I was going to do?



So, you're saying we elected a child, MissA?

Gitmo?

thats where they put foreigners they need to keep quiet.

imagine the sheer terror it would cause if the people in the US found out what was really going on!

good prediction Dick!

Transfer of terrorism suspects
Britain's cooperation with the US over the transfer of terrorism suspects was defended by the prime minister. He said some of the individuals had to be detained for international terrorism reasons and added that some were dangerous while others had vital information. However, he also stressed that use of torture could never be justified.


nice private groups and generic non-statements.  vital to whom?

osamamamamama was a cia operative just as was sadam hussy boy.

cant have that kind of inside agency "stuff" getting loose into the public now can we?

Unlike the right,of course,which is known far and wide,by young and old alike,to always,always step up and accept responsibility for it's failures.

Status: offline 		Gitmo is a fucking abortion, a disaster, something Obama should have sorted out long ago as his first priority, for imprisoning people snatched from where they were in the world and refusing to give them a fair trial speaks volumes about American freedom to many parts of the world. Who knows it might even be Gitmo that is the reason for the present round of dislike for the US.

But, I have noticed of late America is learning how to circumvent it's own rules. Gitmo is not on US soil so US rules of justice do not apply, Abu Graib the word 'torture' was discouraged in all documentation and replaced with the word ; ' abuse' so America would not come under fire for torturing prisoners. America believes it has it sorted, but those across the world see otherwise, Abu Ghraib was not abuse, neither is what has been reported to happen at Gitmo and Gitmo itself as I said earlier is damaging the US.

There are a few ways to look at this. None of them say anything positive. A) He was clueless when he made the pledges about Guantanamo and the detainees, spouting idealism based in ignorance, and now knows better, but lacks the courage to say so. B) He was lying all along, this has been nothing but a show, with all that says about such a politician. C) He wanted to, and he really tried, and feels really bad that he just wasn't good enough, but he promises to try even harder if we give him four more years as the most powerful man on the planet. Really! He will!




Sounds about right. If there's a 4th possibility, I'm not seeing it.

Can't believe I actually voted for this weak, empty, arrogant fraud of a man. You'd think I'd have known better, but I learned my lesson this time. Never again.

And I want my change back, please.

I can't agree with that...I do see a 4th possibility one that starts with,whether anyone likes it or not...Rome wasn't built in a day...and goes on to...
What looked good and achievable when a candidate....turned out to be a bigger hot potato when he actually sat in that Chair behind that Desk.The difficulty he is having in finding his way out of this box is one not of his own making.He assumed office and learned that the disposition of those men was not going to be as simple as issuing the order....where were they to go.....Military tribunals...civilian courts...what about the ones with which  no charges could be sustained.....and yet their countries of origin...or locale of arrest refused to have them back.Surely he was counseled concerning the number of future terrorists Bush's little cuban version of Club Med had millitarized for all time against the west and whatever local gov't  had a hand in turning them over.
Does anyone believe future holy warriors weren't fermented in that camp?Saudi Arabia doesn't want them back ,Dubai...the Emirates,there would be blood in the streets were he to announce that he was releasing any of these men and than letting them stay here.His impeachment hearings would begin the next day.
No,I'm not ready to ask for my money back...I believe he has gone as far as he could as fast as he could....and that those things not yet complete....were by and large things we should have realized given the blow back he wouldn't  be allowed to complete.We elected a President...not a king .He deserves the second term...he is ,and I knew he was,a politician....they seem to be bolder when they never again have to face the electorate.

Status: offline 		No it doesn't...as it does not include the proposition that he was "clueless".Perhaps  you are asserting that the view from that Chair is not unique?
If you concede it is indeed "unique" and that nothing else,save actually sitting there,can approximate the experience,the perspective and the pressures...than it is patently impossible to charge him with "clueless" nor as Panda ,as is his right,refered to him as an"arrogant fraud of a man".
He wants his change back....I am of a mind to double down and let it ride.

However, you are incorrect in saying, "the ones with which no charges could be sustained" It should be qualified, "the ones with which no charges could be sustained, without exposing undercover assests and/ or methods of gathering Intelligence"

Obama has had the chance to have his people review the evidence.

Tell you what, mikey...I have made posts critical of the right. Have admitted to faults on the right. Many on the right are decrying Reverend Phelps and Reverenc Jones. Show me an instance of someone on the left attacking someone else on the left...not for not being "progressive enough" but for their actions...and then talk to me of Kool-Aid.

You are one of the best examples of someone drinking the Kool-Aid but here's your chance to prove that not all on the left are.
