When Barack Obama’s task force on the Guantanamo Bay detention center decided to delay its report on what to do with the jihadists held there, many were left scratching their heads. After all, Gitmo is supposed to be closed within the next six months, meaning that the report wouldn’t be released until the detention center is closed. What is to happen with the detainees currently there, then?
We may now know….
Since June 30, President Barack Obama has cleared two dozen beds at Supermax for Gitmo detainees and today Senate Democrats will attempt to block a vote on Senator Jim Inhofe’s amendment to the Defense Authorization bill (S.1390) for FY 2010. The amendment would prohibit the transfer of detainees from Guantanamo to any facility in the United States. (A final vote on the Defense authorization may come as early as this evening.) In addition, Senator Inhofe is also sponsoring the ‘Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility Safe Closure Act of 2009? (S.370). We join Sen. Inhofe in asking you to call your Senators today and demand that they go on record, to vote ‘yea’ or ‘nay’ to keep terrorists out of America.
Translation: The world’s worst terrorists — individuals bad enough that their own countries don’t want them back — will be coming to American soil. We’ll be housing jihadists responsible for killing, or planning to kill innocent Americans and our troops, in a town near you.
Sounds to me like Obama intends to use the late report as an excuse to move these terrorists to our backyard.
He’d love to do something else with them, you see, but the report on what to do has only just been released and the detention center closes in a week. His hand is therefore forced until we can determine the best place the house them permanently, so they simply must be put in our supermax prisons. (Have you heard how great those places are? Here are a couple dozen supermax employees to stand behind Obama at the announcement to vouch for the safety of the prisons.) But fret not, you bitter gun-clingers; we’ll end up moving those detainees elsewhere…..eventually.
Sound crazy? He’s a Chicago politician raised in the city’s political machine. He also happens to be a far-left liberal raised on the strategies of Saul Alinsky. If he could’ve done so without political backlash the likes of which no living being has seen, he would’ve just come out and moved the detainees to American soil…or released them. But he can’t do that, so he’ll resort to his sleazy Alinsky-esque strategy that accomplishes the same task in a round-about way. Most Americans will never see it coming.
It’s sort of like the Cloward-Piven strategy. You don’t come straight out and call for the eradication of capitalism; that would be political suicide. You just actively place so much strain on the current system that it collapses, leaving Americans looking for an alternative and you looking like your hands are tied. It’s all from the same breed of sleazy, far-left strategy.
