You shocked?
Didn’t think so.
Obama and crew cannot go a day without blaming everything on Bush. It’s been a year O’….get over it, you own this and so much more:
Two U.S. officials confirm to ABC News that the number of released detainees suspected of or confirmed to have returned to terrorist activities has risen to 20 percent. They would not provide the raw numbers on which the percentages are based. A U.S. official tells ABC News that the most recent report was completed in late December.
~~~The first publicly released Pentagon analysis of the recidivism rates of former Guantanamo detainees, released in December 2008, showed the recidivism rate was 11 percent. That number trended upward to 14 percent when the second report was released in May, 2009.
Where’s the blame Bush part you ask?
A White House official told ABC News, “We have been presented with no information that suggests that any of the detainees transferred by this administration have returned to the fight.
Dude….do you really think the six you released wont come back to bite you in the ass?
Six Yemeni detainees, Jamal Muhammad Alawi Mari, Farouq Ali Ahmed, Ayman Saeed Abdullah Batarfi, Muhammaed Yasir Ahmed Taher, Fayad Yahya Ahmed al Rami and Riyad Atiq Ali Abdu al Haf, were transferred to the Government of Yemen.
That’s not counting the two you released to a non-recognized government.
Reports from Somaliland, a breakaway region in northern Somalia that has its own autonomous government, identified the freed Somalis as Ismael Arale, 45, and Mohamed Suleiman Barre, 44.
Arale and Barre were processed by the Somaliland government and then released to rejoin their families in Hargeisa, the major city in Somaliland and capital of the region, according to a statement on the official Somaliland Web site.
The United States does not recognize the government in Somaliland and there were no official statements on how Arale and Barre arrived there. A local newspaper, the Somaliland Press, said they arrived aboard a jet provided by the International Committee of the Red Cross, suggesting that the United States had released the men to the Red Cross in a third country.
Arale, who’s been described as a document forger and Islamic jurist, was captured in Somalia in 2006 was one of the last detainees ever taken to Guantánamo.
The Pentagon said in a June 6, 2007, announcement that Arale “exemplifies the genuine threat that the United States and other countries face throughout the world from dangerous extremists.”
And you’re pretty much guaranteed that further American blood will be shed by this guy.
Will you still blame Bush somehow Mr. President?
I’m betting you will.

A man, and I use that term loosely, who lies as much to the American people as the POTUS does will never accept responsibility for anything. The string of bold faced lies the media broadcast on tape today should be grounds to kick him out of office and every democrat congress critter with him. Kind of hard for the dhimmi’s to deny his lies when they are so well documented by the media. Mass arrest in this administration is way over due. Anyone who has any respect for him now probably respects and worships Mao also.
Iraq recently released the militant leader linked to the kidnapping of the British hostages in 2007. What are the chances of entrusting detainees transferred to Yemen to remain detained for as long as they pose a threat to our security? Why take the risk?
Of course, maybe the Administration is having second thoughts on releasing more to Yemen:
If I wouldn’t know any better, I’d say the Obami admin are doing this on purpose. I just want to play paranoid for a minute, suggesting that an attack on the US would further their plans, since they are so fond of creating crisis, after crises, hoping to install marshal law. Or could this be their real plan, since he is siding with muslims, and many are in his admin, believing in sharia law.
They had to replace the old sign of Harry Truman’s in the Oval Office that read, ” The Buck Stops Here” with one that reads, ” The Schmuck Sits Here”.
Yep, Bush’s third term is DEFINITELY gonna be his worst!
And it’s only 1/4 over…

@Wordsmith:
“Baghdad Bob” Gibbs, as we all know by now, is a complete idiot. Yemen never was, and never will be, able to “deal” with the Gitmo detainees, any more than he and Obama are.
Er, hate to point out the obvious, but those terrorists WERE released by the Bush/Cheney regime, not Obama. This ls like Willie Horton, if you ask me: if you release someone and they engage in egregious acts, you are responsible Mr. Dukakis; same for you, Mr. Bush. When the people Obama releases start cutting up, then you can blame him.
Seems to me, though, that you cons are just outraged at the idea that the Bush administration might be held responsible for its own faulty decisions. But if they are not responsible for the people they released, then who is?
Not exactly correct there, B-Rob. They were released by Congressional approval and then signed by the President, he could have vetoed but ultimately those individuals would be released one way or another.

Aww, shucks, you just won’t let the Lefties have no fun ‘tall.
