To borrow from Denzel Washington in "Philadelphia"...
Explain to me like I'm a six-year old the necessity and big rush to close Gitmo! I can't help but hope it's more than just to appease the European leftists.
Six huh! Because we are the adult and you are the child. Verbally, "I know you don't want to go to bed but you need your rest and it is that time, off you go. Good night." You can, assuming you are mentally older than six, translate this to mean, it is the right thing to do. The American thing to do.

Closing it should ameliorate some of the contempt felt for it in Islamic nations. It will soften the Bush abuse...in the long run. Long, long time is needed.
Obama is illustrating that he opposed Bush abuse and is doing something--a token--about it. Is it right? Is it wrong? Will it do these things? I don't know.

ROFLMNAO...
EXCELLENT!
The "Because we say so" explanation... the last refuge of the impotent basis in reasoning.
Now Midcan would LOVED to have offered a well reasoned, intellectually sound, logically valid explanation... but she's ignorant of any such explanation... thus she's relegated to cliches and empty platitudes...
But such is the nature and the extent of the intellectual means of the ideological left...
Now some would argue that Midcan here is just an idiot... that there are REALLY solid, sound reasons for closing Gitmo... but scan the horizon; search far and wide and NO WHERE will you find such an explanation...
At every point where such an attempt is made... you get ethereal myth, born from overt lies and all of it sustained in the back of a litany of empty platitudes and mindless cliches.

The photos of abuse did cause problems. Militant Islamic recruitment soared after the release of those photos. Not all abuse occurred at Gitmo but that base is the poster child for Bush abuse of detainees.

Exactly.Closing gitmo does nothing but demostrate we can be bullied into engaging in counter productive actions for no good purpose.
Put it this way the big dog (and for better or for worse we - the USA - are the big dog) always has an image problem. There is no amount of apologizing that will make that go away. Closing gitmo does nothing but demostrate we can be bullied into engaging in counter productive actions for no good purpose. It also appeals to a large portion of Obama's leftwing moonbat base that increasingly controls the Democrat nomination process. Hince he attempted to keep at least one campaign promise only to be informed by the rational member of his party that he should pick a different one because NIMBY means that this one won't fly.
And Di I'd love to get rid of the festering boil on Americas ass but we will have to wait four years for the next election...
Unfortunately the medicine in question was puss from a gangrenous wound and the bandage a piece of used toilet paper hence we shall almost certainly need an eventual amputation to cure waht ails us.
not really, that same boil is still there and its 3 times more infectedPut it this way the big dog (and for better or for worse we - the USA - are the big dog) always has an image problem.

The boil was officially lanced on Jan 20, 2009. Just hope the ointment and dressing do their job...
To the six-year old.
You have this festering boil on your arse. Should you get it lanced and dressed or should you let it go until it poisons your whole body?
