Yeh really. We've had a president that hasn't done anything positive in forever, looks like a monkey and acts like an idiot. Gee I can't imagine why our influence is declining

I welcome a decline. And I welcome a complete withdrawl from support of nations outside our own, including the UK, Israel, Canada, any country in Africa, all Mid East countries, Germany, everyone. I say FUCK them all. They really don't need us. Seriously. And add any other country that has enjoyed our support for so many years. Let them go it alone. They don't need us. Fuck them. We need to take care of our own first. I fullly support the notion that the US needs to take it's nose out of the rest of the world and withdraw all support from the UN and any other country. I'am in.

No, I just have had enough of the bleeding heart liberal attitude that if they want to end it all let's just do it. Let them be responsible for the outcome of such a decision. If they only knew that many of these guys will be re-jailed or outright executed they may have a different thought, but you know what fuck it. I say let those who are so intent on closing it down do so. And they get to have the responsibility for the subsequent actions. I welcome their ignorance.

Send them home and let fate take hold. Seriously. I could care less at this point. I think we should wait til after Obama takes office so we can say, "told you so."

Of course the right thing to do would be to give the real bad guys trials and put them in a US federal prison til death (if found guilty), and set the rest free with a GPS chip in their head to track them, but most would never agree.

Ok, ok, how about we give each of the non-actors a row boat and a paddle and tell them to go for it. Drag them about 200 miles off Cuba to the East and say, "GO!".

I do NOT want to put them in any prison here whatsoever, I don't want to spend one more dime on this whole thing. Send them home, send them to France, send them to the moon - just send them somewhere else and get it over with.

Obamy promised to close it immediately, heard him say it on 60 Minutes Sunday. I fully support his notion. Go Obama do it! be careful what you wish for. The law of unintended consequenses is a bitch.

Are you sure you're commenting on the right thread Merc? There's one dedicated to Gitmo which I think you'd be better off putting your comments in. lol
