What Prevents Obama From Closing the Gitmo Prison?

I’m pretty sure that is a joke. :slight_smile:

Maybe you can explain it to us.

Yeah, I didn’t get it either. I know Obama is from Chicago and likes to play hoops, but I can’t add that up to anything that is funny.

No, just one reason: because Osama Bin Ladin was right about America.

Do you believe he is right when he asserts that America should outlaw alcohol, exclude women from the workplace, and kill homosexuals?

I know nothing about sports. but I presume that it has something to do with Chicago sports fans. Are they particularly violent?

If he had thrown in a crack about being a community organizer named Barry whose middle name is Hussein, then it could have been the funniest joke posted on WorldNetDaily in weeks.

It wasn’t my idea to close Gitmo and prosecute them in US court.

That would be… wait for it… Obama.

So explain to me why they can’t be flown to Chicago prisons in time for the NCAA playoffs (sorry not the NBA). I chose that mental picture because it’s that’s where President hangs out and the sport he invests his time and tax payer dollars on between his busy schedule of golf.

You got a problem with what Obama says and does take it up with him.

What on earth are you talking about?

And a whole of other people who believe in our system of justice.

All the way back in Post #2. Take it up with your representative to get the law forbidding it repealed.

depends how you feel about closing gitmo and trying the prisoners in US courts. I thought it was a joke when it was proposed.

See posts 2 and 18.

I’ll just note that the law does not include any exemptions to release Khalid Sheik Mohammed to attend sporting events in the United States, whether it is the NCAA tournament (which isn’t in Chicago – seriously, do you do any fact-checking in your posts?), a Bears game, or any Stanley Cup related events.

There’s no law stopping the President from moving the prisoners. They could be in Yemen next week where nobody will ever hear from them again.

Look at post 18.

And start fact-checking your posts, too.

ETA: And when the hell did Chicago move to Yemen? Holy crap, I think someone would have said something!

Well, it is close to Cairo.

No seriously I don’t expect them to attend the game, Chicago or otherwise. It’s his home town and it’s the game he spends his time talking about in front of cameras instead of less important things such as unemployment or healthcare.

Once again, the post addresses the least substantive aspect of the issue.

Let me recap:

Ravenman: The law says GTMO detainees can’t be moved into the United States, and here’s what the law says.
Magiver: Those detainees could be in Chicago in time for a basketball game.
Ravenman: No, go read the law in post 18.
Magiver: I didn’t literally mean they’d attend the game! I win the argument!!!

Can you explain where the hell you were going with the Chicago thing in the first place?

Oama’s trying to send the Yemeni prisoners there. Nice guy that Obama. Worried about the homesick terrorists. But if he sends them to Chicago then they can be tried, released, and then made citizens through amnesty if he gets his way. Rahm Emanuel gets them as voters. It’s all good.

I wasn’t making an actual case to move them to Chicago. OBAMA wants to close Gitmo. Not me. I chose Chicago because that’s his home town. What better place to move terrorists then where he lives.

I was serious about Yemen because Obama wants to build a facility there to house Gitmo prisoners (from Yemen).

The saga of Chicago being relocated Yemen just gets more and more interesting… now if Magiver can only break the story of all the violins in the Middle East. Everyone is all upset when there’s a news story about violins in the Middle East, but if there were more Leonard Bernstein concerts in the Middle East, those people might not go around killing each other all the time! The problem is there aren’t enough violins in the Middle East!

And here we have the main difference between a Magiver post and Emily Litella. That is, that Emily will politely acknowledge substantial errors, and Magiver employs the Martingale system of posting: if one keeps doubling down after every loss, sooner or later it may pay off once.
