Obama Delays GITMO Report, GITMO Will Probably Not Close in January

  When President Obama announced that he was signing the executive order to close GITMO even though he had no plan on what to do with the prisoners held there I predicted that GITMO would never be closed by this president.

  Today that prediction has come a little closer to reality. President Obama has delayed the report on GITMO for six months. That means the GTIMO report will not be released until January, the very month that the president claimed he would be closing GITMO.

  This report is actually a review of the terrorists that are being held at GITMO and it is only halfway completed. If the president hadn’t have been in such a hurry to score a symbolic victory with his announcement on the closing of GITMO he would have actually waited until this report was ready before he made a decision on GITMO. But he had to appease the far left and this was the easiest way to do it. Or at least he thought so.

  President Obama’s announcement on the closing of GITMO without doing the research and without any knowledge of the people that are being held there or what to do with them if the prison is closed is unbelievably irresponsible. It was a rash and not very well thought out.

  President Obama hoped that he could make the announcement and then come up with a plan to follow it through but that seems to have been tougher than he thought.

  So as of right now it looks as though the president has broken his campaign promise and also will have to backtrack one of the first executive orders he gave. Most likely GITMO will not be closing in January, this cannot sit well with the far left as Obama has already kept in place all of President Bush’s wartime policies and now he will probably end up keeping GITMO open.

 That is what happens when you try to score symbolic victories without doing your homework.
