I don't think the failure of Obama to close Gitmo within the first year of his presidency hurts him at all except with those freaking whacked out Liberals within his own party. I am hoping Obama sees the light and realizes that Gitmo serves a vital and very practical role with regards to our anti terrorism and sovereign security standards.
It is very unfortunate that he has released several detainees only to have them show back up on the battlefields. But, it is a much bigger mistake to try these terrorists in civilian court on American soil with the same civil liberties as any US citizen. This will come back to haunt Obama, this decision will effect his place in history as one of the worst presidents of all time.
It is also particularly troubling to me that the underwear bomber is also being tried as a civilian. The three top intelligence officials besides the attorney general and president himself weren't even included in the decision making on how to treat, interrogate, and proceed to trial with this terrorist. Does anyone in this administration have a freaking clue about what the others are doing?
The stage is set for Obama and he is digging his own hole. A wise man once told me if you find yourself in a hole, quit digging but Obama and his administration aren't smart enough to figure this out and we are all paying the price or it today. Trust me, it will get a whole lot worse and I seriously doubt it will get better until he loses control during the 2010 midterm elections.
Gitmo will be the first domino in a long line of domino's yet to fall for Obama's second year...
