Good grief – closing Gitmo was one of the man’s campaign planks going all the way back to the beginning of his run for president. How can the Obama Administration, through the White House press secretary, now claim that closing Gitmo was a “hasty decision”?

"I don't doubt that the President--and I think he'll say this tomorrow--that we've made some hasty decisions that are now going to take some time to unwind. And closing Guantanamo Bay obviously is one of those decisions," he added.

Oh, wait – now Robert Gibbs claims that he was referring to Bush Administration decisions being hasty. But clearly that his words referred to President Obama’s decision to set a deadline for closing the detention facility for America’s terrorist foes without any plan for replacing it or dealing with the jihadi swine detained there. The only possible conclusion? It is Ob-amateur hour in the White House.

Another planned terrorist attack on American soil, another group of Muslim perps.

Four men arrested for an alleged plot to bomb a New York synagogue and Jewish community center are expected to appear in federal court Thursday, the U.S. attorney's office said.

The men also wanted to use surface-to-air missiles to fire at U.S. military planes, said a criminal complaint filed this week in White Plains, New York.
"Four individuals were arrested for planting bombs in front of two [Jewish facilities] in the area," said Raymond Kelly, New York City police commissioner.

Three of the four were jail converts to Islam, while the fourth is highly sympathetic to the faith. And, of course, the goal was more dead Americans, and more dead Jews in particular. What other religion in this country sees its adherents plot such attacks with such frequency – especially when viewed in terms of the relative frequency to their numbers in society at large? None – just the so-called Religion of Peace. At what point do we as a nation acknowledge that this so-called faith cannot co-exist

And, of course, the Left has already begun to speak out loudly – on behalf of the terrorists and against the American government. What next? A liberal chorus of “It’s the Jews’ fault?

W3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUUsA">Too bad he isnÂ’t going down for a significantly longer period of time.

A protester from Texas has been sentenced to two years in prison for possessing Molotov cocktails during the Republican National Convention last September.

U.S. District Judge Michael Davis on Thursday also sentenced Bradley Neal Crowder to three years of supervised release.

The 23-year-old Austin, Texas, man was part of a group from Austin that allegedly planned to disrupt the convention in St. Paul last September. He pleaded guilty in January.

Prosecutors say Crowder and a co-defendant made eight firebombs and planned to use them to retaliate against police for seizing their homemade riot shields. The co-defendant, David Guy McKay, 22, pleaded guilty in March and is due to be sentenced by Davis next Thursday.

Not nearly enough time – he and his cohorts ought to be in Gitmo getting waterboarded so that they would disclose the names of the rest of their little gang of terrorists.

And given the fact that these terrorists are prone to arson and come from Austin, I have to ask if the Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating them in relationship to the arson attack on the historic Governor’s Mansion during the state Democrat convention in Austin – an act which resulted in serious damage to the building.

Remember this?

Well, never mind -- it looks like military commissions for jihadis may be back on, despite Obama promises to the contrary.

The Obama administration is moving toward reviving the military commission system for prosecuting Guantánamo detainees, which was a target of critics during the Bush administration, including Mr. Obama himself.

Officials said the first public moves could come as soon as next week, perhaps in filings to military judges at the United States naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, outlining an administration plan to amend the Bush administration’s system to provide more legal protections for terrorism suspects.

Personally, I oppose anything other than drumhead courts martial for jihadis, followed by immediate execution. But if these swine are to be afforded treatment as POWs like the Left wants, they should be treated as POWs -- held for the duration of the conflict between the civilized world and Islamist barbarism, just as POWs during WWII were held for the duration of that conflict. Following the conclusion of hostilities, those believed guilty of war crimes may then be subjected to war crimes tribunals in which they have access to surviving documents from both sides, as well (and all are guilty, as irregular combatants).

Ain't the fecklessness of Barry Hussein and the rest of the Obama Regime absolutely stunning?
