Late Friday Doc Drop: Gitmo May Not Be Closed On Time

by William Teach | September 26, 2009 9:30 am

Y’all remember when President Neophyte made a big deal out of signing the order to close Guantanamo Bay jihadi detention center as his first act, right? Well, a very late night Friday story…..

The White House acknowledged for the first time Friday[1] that it might not be able to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay by January as President Barack Obama has promised.

Senior administration officials told The Associated Press that difficulties in completing the lengthy review of detainee files and resolving thorny legal and logistical questions mean the president’s self-imposed January deadline may slip. Obama remains as committed to closing the facility as he was when, as one of his first acts in office, he pledged to shut it down, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to more freely discuss the sensitive issue. They said the White House still was hoping to meet the deadline through a stepped-up effort.

Not mentioned is that Democrats keep blocking the funds needed to close the facility. I wonder what the DUmmies think[2] (haven’t heard from them in awhile)

I guess Obama was just promising ice cream during the campaign[3].

Nice Deb[4] points out that The One just got done patting himself on the back at the United Nations for ordering the close of Gitmo, and

Yea! He congratulates himself for having a plan! One that he’s having a tough time implementing, yet:  he offers that dubious “achievement” among other dubious achievements as evidence that the “character and cause of the nation” has improved since the dark days of Bush….

Ace[5]:

And it’s your fault for not being a little more chill about terrorists moving in next door and keeping a messy lawn and leaving toys all over and that great big dog that barks all night. All that stuff annoying terrorist neighbors do.

Your bad, dudes. D**ks
