    I haven't seen videos of "Americans chhering the deaths of innocent people" as you said.

    But I have seen plenty of videos of Muslims cheering the 9/11 attacks- old grannies out in the streets of shitholes like Iran, Saudi, Yemen, and that future paking lot you call "Palestine", throwing candy and making that crazy banshee sound w/ their mouths- all because innocent women and children were murdered.

    Why don't you get your shit straight, Pepe?

    yeah you'd like that wouldn't you. i wonder how you would feel if someone called for the destruction of your children while applauding, then finished them off and considered it a job well done?

    and if someone said that about israel, calling Israel a "parking lot", they would be labeled antisemite, accused of calling for the destruction of Israel and probably get a mod warning or a ban.

    double standards.

    except in those terrible country songs that came out after 9/11 that's exactly what happened.

    no, i didn't. you want to say kaleed shaike mohmmed and 3 or 4 other prisoners saying they are happy 9/11 happened is a justifiable excuse to snatch and imprison many, many, many more without a charge or trial....so, shouldn't it go both ways?

    I would say that a very low percentage care based on those that I interact with. In fact, most support its continued operation (except here on the MT).

    My opinion is that the US has no other choice then to continue its operation. If a terrorist was able to get off on a technicality ... and I'm sure that a good lawyer could find something ... it would be a major embarrassment and the political fallout would be huge.

    Right now it is a contained problem in a communist country.

    i defend Palestinian basic human rights and am critical of the Israeli government for the role they play in absuing those rights.

    those who truly seek a fair and just peace to all the people of Israel and Palestine are not afraid to speak out about the injustices carried out at the hands of Israel. unlike you, i would like nothing more than to see a peaceful resolution. unlike you, i don't want any more people to die. unlike you, i don't call for destruction to an entire population of peoples.

    and by the way the one time i did get banned i didn't come back under another user name and start foaming at the mouth shouting racist, ignorant, uneducated shit like you are.

    Make sure Obama gets nothing done and then criticize him when he gets nothing done, typical.

    Would you really care if he did close Gitmo? You, or those like you went on and on about how it was a major security collapse to close Gitmo, "Lawdy lawdy, where are all the terrorists gonna go"? Now it's "Why is it still open"? OH THE HUMANITY!!

    I am the first one to say Obama has compromised where he hasn't had to and is a borderline corporate schill, but I say that as a critical supporter not because I take glee in it.

    So, to your question. I think the collapse of the American financial system, making sure that your life is not over if you get sick, and making sure the wealthy don't get more than they deserve are more pressing issues.

    You'll take offense, but that is a bunch of BS and you know it.

    Are you saying that the people Obama should have working on closing Gitmo are too busy working on healthcare and the economy? Hmm...I would have thought it would be a different set of people.

    Also, I'm sure nobody would buy the "there are more important things to do argument" when Bush was around.

    Personally I disliked Bush and I dislike Obama about the same. Just pointing out how things that used to seem so important apparently aren't so much now that there's a different leader.

    Nah, not offended at all. in fact you are right. I often make the mistake that the President is hands on for everything.

    The original question was "do you care?" my answer is not really, assuming you were actually asking and it wasn't a rhetorical question. My personal opinion is that Gitmo is far less important than what is happening here.

    The way I see it is Obama tried to close it. The Fox puppets freaked out, which means the puppet masters freaked out. This leads me to believe that one of two scenarios:

    A: Had Obama been successful in closing Gitmo and we had an terrorist attack he would have been called "weak on defense". Once again, Obama caves under political pressure.
    or...
    B: Someone wanted it to stay open, so it stayed open.

    The reason why it wouldn't fly with Bush btw is because Gitmo was part of a really bad security policy. The waterboarding, human rights violations, domestic spying just went hand in hand with stripping people of their right to a trial.

    To Obama, it's just another Bush mess he has to clean up.

    I see the level of intelligent debate on the board has really improved recently.
    ...shitholes like Iran, Saudi, Yemen, and that future paking lot you call "Palestine"...
    the Palestinian people...their helpless crazy asses
    "Palestine"...that barren shithole of a rock
    Pathetic civilization, thousands of years of underachievement.
    "Palestine" is a perpetual welfare state.

    dont know why all of you even bother responding to this guy. he has never added anything to a debate that wasn't at least slightly inflammatory. The responses you get from him are clearly designed to anger. ignore it and it goes away...it is simple.
    i do hope one day we can look back on the use of gitmo and not be embarrassed in the same vain as internment camps during ww2, but i highly doubt we will be able to...

    mike - the problem with him is that a lot of people think the same way he does, and hes good at paraphrasing the bs a lot of people are bein fed..so unless someone calls his bs, i bet a lot of casual browsers would nod and carry on.....allowing him to reinforce that crap unquestioned is unacceptable, and why he gets responses.... plus, he gives people the opportunity to post a lot of info that, without having such a contrary, polarized opinion around, might not be posted.......so ya, equal parts messiah complex, and db defense ;)

    the prob with closing gitmo is that it would expose the fraud that it is, by either total miscarriages of american standard justice, which the whole world could publicly poke holes in...or...they could simply let them go...which is, in itself, basically an admission of wrong-doing.

    obama was either completely fooled by bad info (ie incompetent or incapable of forming an independant opinion on a important issue), ....or...he played gitmo as a campaign promise. because i mean....if there is a promise the gen pop wouldnt mind a potus breakin, it{s the one about letting the terrorists go....right?

    A president that promises to let the terrorists go....

    Anyone that voted for that schill should apologize. That would be just about every sheep on this thread.

    And to whichever anti-semite posted all my quotes regarding the Paestinian territory, thank you.

    I loved seeing the truth displayed like that. I notice the Moving Train has come to a stop since America rejected your failed statist ideologies in the most lopsided Congressional election in history....

    How's that feel? 8-)

    Why would I get banned, for saying the Palestinian territory is a shithole? You guys are so full of yourself. The shit spewed on here about Christians, Jews, Republicans, America...... You think only dissenting opinions are bannable? My opinions are just that: opinions. No different than yours in that sense.

    If you don't like it, dispute it, but you desolve into personal attacks, say I'm full of shit, and rarely defend your opinions w/ facts.

    not sure if ive ever agreed with you BoT and though i find you obnoxious at times, you sure amuse me. talk about the cat among the pigeons. at times ive seen this forum become a pit of self congratulatory agreeance... and i myself have been guilty of it... but lately ive been noticing just how god awful boring this forum can get because of that. the same arguments get trotted out and many here dont seem willing to deviate from their chosen path for fear of somehow looking weak or being accused of flip flopping... or maybe they just truly believe what they are writing.

    To get back to the topic at hand. I do actually still care. I do think Obama has dropped the ball on many things including this. While i understand that there maybe more important issues that he is facing i think as president you have to multi-task. now we don't know if Obama does have a team working on it but if he does i think he has to put more pressure on them and if he doesn't he better set one up. I do believe it should fall under the supervision of Eric Holder who is the attorney general in America.
