Top Generals Publicly Defy Obama At SOTU Speech Recently, during his State of the Union address, President Obama once again made his promise to close the terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. While the decision is not surprise, its still hard to believe the president is so willing to make decisions without considering the consequences on our national security. It makes no sense to spend $3 million per prisoner to keep open a prison that the world condemns and terrorists use to recruit, Obama told the audience. Since Ive been president, weve work responsibly to cut the population of Gitmo in half. Now it is time to finish the job. Of course, Obama makes no mention of security. Further, he controls the obvious reality that any action taken by the United States against Islamic extremists would be used by terrorist organizations. Finally, the presidents last promise is absurd. Lets not forget that it took 6 years to complete the first round of cuts. And now, Obama is proposing that we do the same amount of work in just two? I will not relent in my determination to shut it down. It is not who we are, Obama concluded. What do you think of Obamas proposal?
