Just when you think things couldn’t get crazier with Obama, on the heels of releasing 5 of the ‘worst of the worst’ terrorists from Gitmo, Obama is now releasing more terrorists for the most flimsy reasons you’ve ever heard:
– One because he took up yoga and read a biography of the Dalai Lama
– Another because he adopted a ‘positive attitude’
– And Osama Bin Laden’s personal bodyguard is to be released because he wants to start a “milk and honey farm”
The Periodic Review Board has cleared 78 of the remaining 149 prisoners for release and has more hearings scheduled for this summer. Many of these guys were once classified as ‘forever prisoners’ because of the threat they posed.
30% of those released has returned to fight against us – this report is by Obama’s own director of national intelligence.
Desperate to empty the Guantanamo Bay prison by the end of his term, Obama quietly is giving “get out of jail free” cards for the flimsiest of excuses.
One al Qaeda suspect captured in Afghanistan is considered reformed because he took up yoga and read a biography of the Dalai Lama. Another is eligible for release because of his “positive attitude.”
And one longtime detainee, a former bodyguard for Osama bin Laden, is now harmless because he’s going to start a “milk and honey farm.”
The Periodic Review Board already helped clear 78 of the remaining 149 prisoners for release, documents show, and has scheduled more hearings for this summer.
Many of these men were dubbed “forever prisoners” because of the threat they posed to the US — with intelligence officials warning that, if free, they would return to the jihad to kill Americans.
Based on past cases, that’s a good bet.
In a report on detainee recidivism, Obama’s own director of national intelligence this year documented that 178, or 29 percent, of the 614 prisoners already transferred from the prison have been confirmed to have, or are suspected of having, re-engaged in terrorism.
That means for every three freed from Gitmo, one has rejoined the war against us. Intelligence analysts admit their ability to track all former detainees is limited, so the recidivism rate may, in fact, be much higher.
One notorious recidivist, Abdullah Gulam Rasoul, became the Taliban’s operations commander in southern Afghanistan soon after his 2007 release from Gitmo. He was blamed for masterminding a surge in roadside attacks against American troops and organizing assaults on US aircraft in Afghanistan.
Another repeat terrorist is Said Ali al-Shihri, who after his 2007 release ran al Qaeda’s Yemeni branch and helped plan the deadly bombing of the US Embassy there.
Already, one of the five Taliban leaders freed last week in exchange for Bergdahl — Mullah Noorullah Noori — has pledged to return to fight Americans in Afghanistan.
Obama’s terrorist parole board was established in 2011. He appoints its members — officials from the Justice Department, Pentagon, State Department and Homeland Security — without a congressional confirmation process. It is secretive and lacking in accountability.
In setting up the Periodic Review Board, meanwhile, Obama prohibited members from relying on information that has been obtained as a result of “cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment (in order) to support a determination that continued law of war detention is warranted for a detainee.”
The bias against interrogation evidence potentially opens up the release of some of Gitmo’s hardest cases, including al Qaeda leader Abu Zubaydah, 2002 Bali bombing mastermind “Hambali,” and Mohammed al-Qahtani, the suspected 20th hijacker of the 9/11 attacks.
But these releases won’t cause the same outcry, because it’s being done in virtual secrecy. Already, more than 600 prisoners have been transferred out of Gitmo with little fanfare. Two hundred of them were sent back to Afghanistan.
As defense lawyer David Remes explained to Al Jazeera news network, “The Periodic Review Board is likely to be predisposed to approval to transfer because the idea here is to close down Guantanamo.”
MORONIC IDIOT
Yes these are lies because Obama cannot release anyone it is CONGRESS who is doing this. Congress wants you to Think it is Obama because CONGRESS wants you to let them do away with the office of President and let them rule With a person they themselves elect as their leader. We all know if this happens this country will be of the rich, for the rich, by the rich.
WOW
Complete. Idiot
Outrages!! Stop the money!!
Still not a word on Marine held in Mexico. This VET served with honor. We are friends with Mexico but Obama want ask for his release. We saw this same thing happen last year with another VET held in Mexico.
All I would say to Obama at this point is “When more of our troops die due to what you did – Their blood will be on Obama’s hands”
Now they are telling us that even the prisoners at Gitmo knew about the trade.
They now say he was tortured – of course he was – would you trust a deserter?
To Obama & Kerry we say this – since they don’t seem to know – the war is over when EVERY American is out of Afghanistan.
Kerry is a fool & playing with the lives of those left still in Afghanistan. Kerry says the Taliban detainees released in a prison swap for Bergdahl could indeed return to terrorism but largely dismissed the argument that the deal will put U.S. troops further at risk. Kerry says the argument that troops in Afghanistan would be more at risk was ‘baloney’ now that the Taliban commanders have been released, particularly because the United States is winding down its military presence in that country. ‘Our combat role in Afghanistan is over’, ‘We’re going to have very few people in that kind of position.’
You watch – Obama will drag this out until after he is gone…
I would ask Gen. Dempsey to now serve his country & not his government & tell us the truth.
Obama says he want apologize. We don’t expect him to because he doesn’t really care what THE PEOPLE have to say.
No matter what story they tell it will not change what Obama did. Now every American serving in our military are targets of the Taliban.
-Story was about Bergdahl’s health now they change story to Taliban said they would kill him if negotiations were leaked. How many lies will we have to hear?
-Some in Obama admin are saying that those that were actually there when Bergdahl deserted are LYING.
-Hagel says he has seen nothing about anyone killed looking for Bergdahl. There are reports but guess he would rather LIE to us than look at report.
-Harry Reid says “What difference does it make” – must be the new campaign add for Democrats.
-Panetta has now spoken that he would not have agreed w/this deal
-Rice says Bergdahl says “He served with honor & dignity” when those that served w/him says he was a deserter.
Bergdahl at 1 point during his captivity converted to Islam, fraternized openly with his captors and declared himself a “mujahid,” or warrior for Islam, according to secret documents prepared on the basis of a purported eyewitness account.
Obama says that we never leave a man behind. Guess he has forgotten about Benghazi. And again he talks about the health of Bergdahl. Well after seeing the Taliban video all I can say is he looked to be in good health. So once again Obama will stick to his lie about his health. And in that video I think that Bergdahl is begging them to not send him back. He knows that he will or should stand trial for desertion.
Obama says “It’s my administration & I always take responsibility” What a joke
Now even some Democrats are saying that Obama is Detached, Flat Footed & Incompetent. They will say anything at this point to be re-elected.
Obama admin out CIA chief while in Afghanistan – I would like to know if he disagreed with Obama’s plans & that is why he was outed.
They say Obama is disengaged but I would say that all Obama wants to do is the fun stuff. He has been partying & campaigning since he took office. And I might add that it is all paid for by the American taxpayer. Why should we have to PAY for the security, travel & lodging for him to be out telling more LIES to collect money for the Democratic party.
Now they have e-mail showing that instead of concentration on the men being killed in Benghazi they were focused on the video at that time.
How many LIES are they willing to tell.
–VA scandal They say Obama found out reading newspaper but Obama & Biden were told 5 years ago that VA was inaccurately report wait times.
–VA assistant director – they tell you that they ask for his resignation but the real story is that he was already set to resign & that Obama had already picked his replacement.
–VA director says – he is mad as hell…they knew this was going on & NOW they are mad. Give me a break.
–Rice tell us that everything in Syria is good 92.5% complete but there are reports Syria is now using chlorine to attack the people. Kerry says if they find out it is true then there will consequences. But Rice just said all good.
–ICE reports 36,000 illegals released last year & 1,000’s have criminal records – even rape & murder.
–IRS asking for more money while they spend $96.5 million on office furniture while asking for additional $1.2 Billion in budget increase.
Democrats don’t want the truth about Benghazi-either they know the truths or the Democrats just don’t care.
If Obama & Clinton have nothing to hide why don’t they give us ALL of the information requested?” We now know that Obama was not in the situation room while events were taking place. We also know Obama was busy campaigning & not reading the daily briefs. E-mail showing it was Obama’s adviser that sent out the word to use the video as the cause for Benghazi. Also Morrell admitted he gave cover to Clinton. Everyone on the ground said it was a terrorist attack & CIA chose to listened to analyst in DC. Still we are 21 months later & not 1 person has been captured.
-Obama saying that he would bring to justice those that killed 4 Americans in Benghazi? What have we seen – NOTHING
-Obama saying how outraged he was about the IRS targeting & he would bring to justice those responsible? What have we seen – NOTHING
-Obama is very disturbed & will get to the bottom of Vets dying due to cooking the books on appointments. What has he said since – NOTHING
The failure of Obama’s administration. As he tells you how transparent he is while hiding everything. If he has nothing to hide then why now show us everything.
Not only is Obama’s admin secretive & dishonest; its callous disregard for the rule of law undermines our constitutional republic. Must ask Obama if he remembers taking an oath of office to uphold law & constitution NOT to change them without Congress.
Anything reported –Obama says that he didn’t know. Why is it no one that works for Obama tells him anything or is this just his cover-up line?
Again we have to ask – What the hell does Obama know? Plausible Deniability
Fast & Furious – Obama didn’t know-5 years still nothing.
Benghazi – Obama didn’t know-now documents show that Obama & Clinton LIED about the attack & Morrell gave St Dept cover.
IRS – Obama didn’t know-now calling it a media scandal. DOJ says NO charges
NSA – Obama didn’t know
Obamacare not working – Obama didn’t know- Obama said he was not told DIRECTLY about problems but now there is a memo showing the White house was told 1 week prior to rollout there were issues.
Going after AP & FOX reporters phone records because they were reporting things that Obama didn’t want known – Obama didn’t know
Obama always says he will get to the bottom of it & then what do we see – NOTHING. Obama continues to say “We will bring those responsible to justice”. And what have we seen – NO ONE held accountable.
By the way….this is 1 woman that does not support Obama or anything that he stands for! We will get the truth 1 day. My motto:”I WILL NOT COMPLY!” So I will continue to sing my song until he is gone… Please enjoy & start learning the words.

Don’t forget he wants tp close GTMO
How do you spell IDIOT ?
I just returned from Las Vegas and the Blacks that were on the c**p table I was playing at were blaming everyone else except Obama for freeing the terrorist from Gitmo…security had to be called because of these idiots. Of the four days in Vegas, there was a lot of talk of impeachment of Obama and all involved…
Obama is the problem of the distruction of America if we continue to allow it.
