Closing Gitmo not so easy

I remember a certain cowboy-type President suggesting the same thing. But of course he was soooo stooopid, we just needed somebody scary smart to figure it out. So, as the media cheered on their shiny new boyfriend, PrezBO decided to close Gitmo; kinda, sorta.

There still remained one trivial detail; what to do with the maniacs therein. But smooth Barry had a plan. He had to have a plan. He wouldn't just shut down the facility housing "the worst of the worst" without a plan; would he??

Sure he had a plan. Gosh, everybody just loves Barry and if he just asked really nicely (and apologized on behalf of the US for everything that has gone wrong since the dawn of time) other countries would just fall over themselves to take the prisoners to win favor with the Great Man. Heck during his European apology tour he even got the French to take one detainee.

It seems that Yemen hasn't gotten caught up in Obamadulation as the Gitmo closing has hit another snag.

The Yemeni government has asked Washington to return its detainees and has said that it would need substantial aid to rehabilitate the men. But the Obama administration is increasingly skeptical of Yemen’s ability to provide adequate rehabilitation and security to supervise returned prisoners. In addition, American officials are wary of sending detainees to Yemen because of growing indications of activity by Al Qaeda there.

The developments are significant for the Obama administration because the 97 Yemeni detainees make up more than 40 percent of the remaining 241 prisoners at Guantánamo Bay. The question of what to do with them “is integral to the process of closing Guantánamo,” said Ken Gude, an associate director at the Center for American Progress who has written about closing the prison camp.

The standoff over the Yemeni detainees comes on top of other difficulties that have emerged since President Obama announced his intention to close the prison that has drawn international criticism for years.

Have no fear. He's "got this". Surely someone with the colossal intellect of Obama has a backup plan. He's the chess master while the rest of us are playing checkers. So, what's plan B??

“We’re at a complete impasse,” said one American official who is involved in the issue but was speaking without authorization and so requested anonymity. “I don’t know that there’s a viable Plan B.”

Hope and change, hope and change.
