So..in a nutshell...
He will continue to take Syrian refugees without doing detailed background checks (and in fact specifically accepting terrorists who can give a good enough *reason* to come to the US that it pasts muster), and he is going to continue to empty out Gitmo (including bin Laden's bodyguard) no matter what the people, or Congress, say.
He's a criminal and a traitor. He deserves the death penalty.
"
As Katie Pavlich notes, this move comes not just hours after the Paris attacks, but just days after Congress overwhelmingly passed a defense spending authorization that forbids any resources being used for closing Gitmo. Obama obviously intends this as a signal to Congress over his steadfastness in closing Gitmo. Given the proximity of the release to the attacks in Paris, it looks more like a signal of the Obama administration’s steadfast desire to disentangle itself from the fight against ISIS, a fight that the administration insists needs no changes to its current strategy of pinpricks and wheedling of others to fight instead.
"The time to release prisoners in the war on terror is when it has been concluded. That depends in large part on the allies of these terrorists still in detention. We didn’t start the war, and it hasn’t ended; in fact, in the past two-plus years, the Obama administration sat on the sidelines while the threat escalated into a quasi-state, which has expanded into a failed state in Libya created by Obama and Hillary Clinton. We have no obligation to bolster the ranks of those enemies while the fight is escalating, and the signal it sends is one of dangerous weakness and short-sightedness. "
It's not weakness or short sightedness. It's treason.
