I guess the only question left is how soon till Obama agrees to these demands?
Considering he won't even agree to live up to his own demands to shut down the prison there, I won't hold my breath.
Closing it was his first EO. Congress has repeatedly blocked him from implementing it.
The far left blocked Obama from doing it?
WASHINGTON — In an abrupt shift, Senate Democratic leaders said they would not provide the $80 million that
President Obamarequested to close the detention center at
Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The move escalates pressure on the president, who on Thursday is scheduled to outline his plans for the 240 terrorism suspects still held there.
In recent days, Mr. Obama has faced growing demands from both parties, but particularly Republicans, to lay out a more detailed road map for closing the Guantánamo prison and to provide assurances that detainees would not end up on American soil, even in maximum security prisons.
The move by Senate Democrats to strip the $80 million from a war-spending bill and the decision to bar, for now, transfer of detainees to the United States, raised the possibility that Mr. Obama’s order to close the camp by Jan. 22, 2010, might have to be changed or delayed.
