Families of 9/11 Victims On Obama's Gitmo Closing: 'The terrorists are going to be cheering'




President Barack Hussein Obama apparently failed to consult any of the families of 9/11 victims when he officially announced the closing of Gitmo this week and those families are NOT happy..not happy one bit. Look at some of their comments from this article at the New York Post:





But families of the 9/11 fallen slammed Obama for going soft on terrorists.
"The terrorists are going to be cheering," said FDNY Fire Lt. Jim McAffrey,
whose brother-in-law, FDNY Battalion Chief Orio Palmer, was killed at Ground
Zero.
"It's the wrong move. It sends a chilling message to people who are
trying to fight the war on terror. These people are trying to kill us. Down the
road, [Obama] may regret doing this."



Retired FDNY Deputy Chief Jim Riches - whose firefighter son, Jimmy, died
in the trade center's north tower - said he had just visited Guantanamo, and the
detainees "get better medical treatment than the veterans."
"The families
are going to suffer more. Justice delayed is justice denied," Riches said.




Now, from the article, let's take a close look at what President Obama said exactly about WHY he is closing Gitmo:





"We think that it is precisely our ideals that give us the strength and the
moral high ground to be able to effectively deal with the unthinking violence
that we see emanating from terrorist organizations around the world," he said.




What the fuck does that mean?!! If that isn't a paragraph of non-sensical jibberish I have never heard one! It appears to me that Obama is saying that we can only deal effectively with terrorists by holding to the same behavior which has CAUSED the terrorists to attack us...am I wrong on that? Is Obama saying that BECAUSE we put the jihadists in Gitmo is the reason they attacked us on 9/11? I'm sorry but I have to get this right in my head - we put hundreds of captured islamic jihadists in Gitmo following 9/11 and we have had NO attacks on the U.S. since...prior to 9/11 we were NOT arresting jihadists and they attacked us. It's making my head hurt.




Barack Obama seems to be portraying that islamic terror is a cause and effect scenario - that BECAUSE of the way the U.S. acts determines what the islamic terrorists do to us and that, my friends, is simply bullshit. If one of your aides is reading this blog President Obama, allow me to enlighten you - the islamic terrorists want to kill us, destroy us BECAUSE WE ARE INFIDELS. Got that? It's not because we support Israel, it's not because we are rich with wealth, it's not because we have a different form of government...it's because we haven't submitted to a pedophile prophet's message written on a camel's discarded afterbirth.




We now have a President who believes that by America taking some sort of "high ground" the islamic jihadists will all of a sudden embrace our infidel ways and sing songs around the campfire with us. I mean really...could be in any more trouble at the moment?





'THE TERRORISTS WILL NOW
CHEER'



President Obama yesterday issued orders to close the controversial
Guantanamo Bay military prison that houses the plotters of the Sept. 11 attacks
- sparking outrage from families of World Trade Center victims.
Obama wants
to shut the prison camp in Cuba within a year and require the closing of any
remaining secret CIA "black site" prisons abroad. He has also banned harsh
interrogation techniques, such as water boarding, that critics claim constitute
torture.



"A new era of American leadership is at hand," the president said.
But
families of the 9/11 fallen slammed Obama for going soft on terrorists.
"The
terrorists are going to be cheering," said FDNY Fire Lt. Jim McAffrey, whose
brother-in-law, FDNY Battalion Chief Orio Palmer, was killed at Ground Zero.
"It's the wrong move. It sends a chilling message to people who are trying
to fight the war on terror. These people are trying to kill us. Down the road,
[Obama] may regret doing this."
Obama said he was certain the nation's
security is strengthened when the United States adheres to "core standards of
conduct."



"We think that it is precisely our ideals that give us the strength and the
moral high ground to be able to effectively deal with the unthinking violence
that we see emanating from terrorist organizations around the world," he said.
Retired FDNY Deputy Chief Jim Riches - whose firefighter son, Jimmy, died in
the trade center's north tower - said he had just visited Guantanamo, and the
detainees "get better medical treatment than the veterans."
"The families
are going to suffer more. Justice delayed is justice denied," Riches said.
Rep. Peter King of Long Island, the ranking Republican on the House Homeland
Security Committee, said Obama's actions embrace a soft-on-terror agenda.

It will take at least 100,000 Dead Americans to get President Obama to understand, perhaps then he will get the idea that we are up against a determined enemy. We wants to wage a diplomatic war, somehow the image of him trying to talk his way out of more terror attacks does not make me feel safe.

Shark,

Exactly. I'm afraid there aren't enough American lives that would be lost that will EVER convince Obama that he can't hold the terrorists close to his chest and change their attitudes.

Al-Nashiri helped to murder our son. We were at Gitmo this past November and it gave me great pleasure to testify against Al-Buhlul who got life. He will probalbly get off now. Just like the rest of the sleazebags. All of our sons killrs have been freed in Yemen after the attack which killed him and his mates. I have fought over 8 long years with two and now three presidents for some justice. All to no avail except for the propagandist trial. And now the 9/11 familes are in the same boat as us. Thats sad. But we expected it as soon as the war fever turned bad just like it did back in Nam. This is the second time in my life that I have got to watch as Americans turned on their fellow citizens who fought and died for them. Not too mention all the innocent civilains. Its a bad nightmare all over again. Minus the flowers, peace signs, and a few other things. But one thing is for sure. The liberals have gotten alot meaner this time around.

Mr. Swenchonis,

First of all, I'm honored that you have visited us here at Holger Awakens. I have followed your battles to bring the murderers of our U.S.S. Cole men to justice and admire your dedication and tenacity.

I also want to thank you for your son's service to America and express my deep sorrow at his loss...our loss.

I agree with your take on the Liberals, but please remember, if you can, that some of us are dedicated to making those on the Left pay for their treason, their cowardice. We won't rest until they pay and those murdering jihadis will also meet justice...one day.
