Obama administration approves its largest single release of Guantanamo detainees ever

Loading

WaPo:

The Obama administration on Monday transferred 15 detainees from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the United Arab Emirates, the largest release under the current president, the Pentagon said.

The transfer comes as the president faces a looming deadline to keep the promise he made on his first day in office to close the military prison. The detainee population there dipped under 100 for the first time in years in January with the release of 10 Yemeni prisoners, and will shrink to 61 with the latest transfer, underscoring a late effort to move toward closure.

“The United States is grateful to the Government of the United Arab Emirates for its humanitarian gesture and willingness to support ongoing U.S. efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility,” the Pentagon said in a statement. “The United States coordinated with the Government of the United Arab Emirates to ensure these transfers took place consistent with appropriate security and humane treatment measures.”

Consequences be damned

At the same time Obama the Fink and Hillary the Hag wants all law abiding americans disarmed and Traitor Kerry signed the Small Arms Control Treaty with the Useless Nation by far Obama is the #1 worst presidents in american history and if elected Hillary will be even worst

At this point we can’t even call it an unintended consequence when some, or most, of these males return to terrorism.
They are heroes as far as Muslims are concerned.

Now, otoh, Obama forced convenience stores to heat more than 25% of sold foods to qualify to accept Food Stamps. (EBT)
He also wants these places to stock fresh foods!

Those foods spoil right on the shelves.

So…..disadvantaged people will now be left with fewer places to buy groceries.
At least these places have the right to quit stocking food stuffs completely.
They can legally become beer/wine and liquor stores with magazines and cigarettes.
This ”helps the poor,” HOW, exactly?

When an American dies at the hand of one of these monsters, obama will be chunking a pitching wedge on the 8th hole, smiling.
