Brennan: All Transferred Detainees Who Returned to Terrorism Were Released by Bush, No Recidivism for Those Released by Obama

Yes, because it was the GOP during the Bush years screaming on a daily basis for captured terrorists to be released because we had no grounds on which to hold them, and to cease having them held at Gitmo and other sites because it was “against our values” or something.
Oh, wait. That was the Democrats making all that noise for all those years, at the behest of their pals in the ACLU and the legal community. And Bush was a “war criminal” for having captured and held them in the first place. Remember that? All those dopey protesters in orange jump suits waterboarding each other and demanding the release of terrorists?
Bush “reached across the aisle” to placate them, and as a result, we get terrorists released back into their former profession. Because the ACLU, Congressional Democrats and the left wanted it thus.
But Obama is a really just a big tough guy on terrorism, isn’t he?

SHUT UP REMINDER
If you were unjustly detained in a foreign country it would be wrong. All the past administration had to do was say “terrorist” and you republicans will allow anything. Maybe that you GOP hypocrites, but thats now how we do things in AMERICA

WIRE: Backdoor taxes to hit middle class…
REUTERS pulls tax story…
Largest-ever federal payroll to hit 2.15 million employees…
a president that refers to himself 132 times in one speech, 62 times in another speech, and in a very short speech 1116 words he refers to himself 26 times ..Is very short on confidence and security, all he knows is the blame game and polling is now showing Americans are growing tired of his blame game, and of him not accepting responsibility for his screwups
He has become nothing more than a snakeoil salesman

For everyone that wanted these terrorist released you ought to be happen. Didnt bush have people breathing down his neck about letting these terrorist go. Here’s the real question though, Wouldnt you think these men would go back to Al-Queda and fight against American Troops if were given their freedom? This should not be a big shock.

I wonder what the turn around is? One day? Two years? Will we have this conversation again next year with a different result? Is there anything this administration can do without saying “lookee there”?

Some people cannot take the truth. Bush did release terrorists who did return to terrorism. Fact is fact. I am sure he did not expect this but it did happen. Let’s not blame Obama for that as he is being blamed for evrything else. He is not afraid to stand up to the terrorist regime and has done so just like he was not afraid to stand up to the republicans with fact and figures and still they whine that he is scolding us. If telling it like it is ..is scolding…maybe you need it. Unless republicans realize that working together is the best thing for the country…I have no respect for them..let them whine.

Obama has authorized nearly more drone attacks on terrorist targets in his first year in office than Bush ordered in his entire second term. He has doubled the US military strength in Afghanistan and hundreds of terrorists have been killed, including the last 2 leaders of the Pakistani Taliban. Some people just can’t handle the truth.

Oh how this one is going to come back and bite Obama.
His arrogance always backfires.
The terrorist also seem to enjoy embarrassing Obama–they will do something to spite him.

One-third of terrorist plots since 9/11 have happened on Obama’s watch.
The terrorist seem to hate Obama like they hated Bush–even though Obama is a softie on terrorism.

Obama probably offered the detainees a sweetheart deal to behave.
It’s the only way Obama can get anything accomplished–offer up our money.

Team Obama needs psychological counseling to get over their fixation with Bush.
What a childish thing to say:
Obama’s detainees are good.
Bush’s detainees are bad.
And the MSM says “Yeah, take that Bush”.

Think maybe Obama and his administration are tired of being blamed for GW’s 8 years of blunders? Wouldn’t you be tired of being blamed for what the person in your job before you screwed up? I know I would be tired of taking the blame for someone else’s idiocy. It’s about time the dems got up enough nerve to put the blame where the blame belongs, GWB, Cheney and that whole administration.

It’s about time the dems got up enough nerve to put the blame where the blame belongs, GWB, Cheney and that whole administration
Yeah, they are still in the WH! Have been since 2009!

So what if the repatriated 9/11 and Afghan and Pakistani captured islamic terrorists are recidivists released by Bush when Obama was supposed to send the 40 Yemeni islamic terrorists back to Yemen if the Christmas underwear bomber terrorism did not happen. Why couldn’t Obama and Holder prevent 3 islamic terrorist attacks on our homeland in just 11 months of Obama taking office and Obama quadrupled the debt/deficit of Bush in the first few months in office ,the reason we are going into bankruptcy and continue to lose jobs despite massive useless spending by the militarily and economically incompetent,pathological liar,treasonous,islamic loving ,militarily weak Obama to help his cronies in wall street, in big banks,unions ,carmakers,Fannie Mae,Freddie Mac,ACORN,fellow corrupt,tax cheating Congress. cheating,arrogant,lying,anti-America,anti-US Military,anti-CIA,islamic loving, cabinet members and Congress. Everyday day that Obama and the corrupt Congress are in power we are slowly being destroyed irreversibly unless the patriotic US Military perform their solemn duty of protecting us from all threats, foreign and domestic.Obama is being mocked,disrespected and ridiculed by all our enemies.

“Another proven lie with the underwear bomber.”
FYI, the underwear bomber was never a detainee at Guantanamo.

They hold C. Klein there though. Napolitano is convinced that that guy is nothing but trouble. Hope they get those scanners set up in the airports.

Why are ? Harvard Law School graduate magna cum laude (with sealed Harvard academic records and birth certificate ) Obama and Holder so stupid and incompetent as attorney General and CIC. They want to try the 9/11 and islamic terrorists in civilian federal courts when they were caught redhanded and already admitted their guilt and given lawyers to defend these barbarians while at the same time Obama is killing suspected Taliban,Al-Qaida, multinational islamic fanatics and collateral civilian victims in the safe havens of Pakistan by drone missiles attacks before giving them lawyers and trials before targeting and killing them. Isn’t this a severe contradiction,incompetence,ignorance and stupidity of these unqualified lawyers Obama and Holder? God help us even though I am an atheist.

Oh great, we haven’t seen enough “blame Bush” tactics. You lied Obama, Gitmo is still open and you are unsure of what policy to adhere to.

“”"”And the list goes on with Republican obstructionism.”"”"”
Posted by: wernervonphooey
Hey smarty, I haven’t seen a filibuster yet, so how can you lie and claim “obstructionism”? You Dems are a riot. Think about it Einstein!

“Obama included tax breaks and subsidies for small business. ALL the Republicans are demanding tax breaks and subsidies, like they don’t already exist.”
Letting the Bush tax cuts expire will raise taxes on ALL Americans, especially the middle class.

Also, filibusters are not the only type of obstructionism. Give that a little thought, look up a few things, and get your mind out of the Fox trough.

Fox has become the most effective propaganda machine in the history of the world. One can see the results in the posts of the low information masses who are so susceptible to such manipulation. Those whose fear and ignorance make them such easy tools of the right wing establishment.
A simple google will give you countless lists, from reputable and varied sources (just a few of which are linked), of misinformation, misleading statements, and outright lies attributable to Fox, who’s pretense of being a “news” organization has been laid bare for all to see in recent months, and not even denied by their executives anymore. Fox “news” is no longer denying their misinformation campaigns. Recent articles, concerning the hiring of Sarah palin, have even quoted Fox executives stating they are more concerned with ratings than truth. Roger Ailes, on The Round Table, Feb. 1, 2010, was caught lying in support of Glenn Beck, and admitted all he is concerned about is ratings.
Conservative ideology has proven to be the most destructive force America has ever faced. History has shown this to be an absolute, but the lies have proven too entrenched, and the masses too easily manipulated. Such mindless following is evident throughout history, where the less informed and less intelligent become the cannon fodder and unquestioning servants of the powerful. Even George Orwell could not have imagined the depths of deceit and maliciousness of such a modern and high tech thought control apparatus such as Fox.
The results are evident in the conservative based blogs and posts, where hate, racism, ignorance, and fear dull all thought. Facts and truth mean nothing. The results of the conservative propaganda machine is frightening. America is being destroyed from without by the misuse of one of it’s most cherished institutions, freedom of the press; and, from within, by the anti-intellectual and incurious nature of the unquestioning and fearful conservative masses.

Brennan leaves out the detail that the attorneys for many of these detainees, are either in the Justice Department, (West, Katyal, Daskal, just a few) or
had partners in law firms who pushed for
their release, like Holder’s Covington & Burling.

Everything Bush did regarding Iraq was corrupt, incompetent, and suspicious. Why they were releasing so many of those detained during the Bush administration was never explained, questioned, or debated. But of course if President Obama improves the whole situation about everything it will be criticized, questioned, and complained about without end. The right wing media will be sure of that.

Phillip, just where on earth are you getting the facts to support your assertions? I guess you have decided to ignore the last 8 years….

lfrichar… I am not going to waste my time instructing you on current events, history, and the legislative process. The facts are the facts. I know them because I research. You depend on Fox so you know nothing except what they tell you.

Yes the brain fed republicans are so warped they will agree that what President Obama has done is working, but then be against the law and order aspects that are honorable and American.

Brennan was vetoed as choice for CIA director, because he was simply aware
of these interrogation programs by the
netroots. So he has to pretend he didn’t
know anything like with the debrief of Bin Nayef, the first attempted underwear
bombing target

Ok… so in a magical world of make believe that Obama lives in, he and his adminstration are actually trying to tell us that NOT ONE SINGLE suspected terrorist who has been transferred out of GBC since late January of 2009 has taken up terrorist activity whereas 20% did under Bush? I have no doubt that 20% did under the previous President. No doubt. However, to actually come forth and make the BOLD claim that “we are PERFECT,” just sounds a bit too good to be true.

Lies, lies, lies.
This Obama Administration is truly a piece.
2012 can’t come soon enought.

I didnt watch FOX so is this all a LIE or propaganda or is it just TRUE?
1.Majority of Americans dont want this bill on Health Care.
2.Obama said we will be out of Gitmo by Jan. 1st
3. Obama said I will have every bill online to read before we vote on it.
4. C-span will be in all sessions of Healthcare
5. No Jobs for Lobbyist-
6. I will make sure we have competitive bids no just given.
7. Make it impossible to slip into “Pork Barrell Projects”
8. Make Government Open and Transparent
9.I will cut the Deficit in half, by doubling spending
10. I will have no earmarks in stimulus, there were 9,000 of them
11 I will create 5 million new jobs in renewable energy.
12. He said in campaign I will not force people to buy insurance. Jan. 2008 primary debate with clinton
13. I will cut spending. LOL
Is this propaganda fueled by FOX NEWS or is their some truth to all this. Comments anyone. By the way I got tired thinking about all this I could have put up much more.

Vicki…where are your facts to back up anything you are saying?

In December there were stories on the bios of the six that were released and their backgrounds were scary.
Obama just released six hard core terrorists back to yemen to go free five days before the christmas bomber and plans are still in tact to release 35-40 more to yemen by end of 2010. All the prisoners had gone to afghanistan to fight americans and one of the prisoners had even been guarding Bin Laden in tora bora.
Brennan and Gates visited Yemen to try and get Yemen to do the same rehab program as Saudi Arabia that failed so bad. Obama sent Brennan and Gates over to Saudi Arabia in May to praise Saudi Arabia for the plan even though saudi arabia announced last february the plan was a failure.
Obama administration’s excuse for sending 6 terrorists to go free in yemen after the same program in saudi arabia was a failure was that Obama administration said one of the detainees was in the court process. So because one detainee was in the court process Obama never appeals a court ruling and thus even released five more detainees. That is why you never put a liberal lawyer in charge of national security.
Brennan is the same guy that praises hezbollah how great citizens they are and how they are becoming doctors. Most left wing administration ever.
Frank wolf had been warning Obama for months not to send the terrorists back to yemen.
Obama sent them back to Yemen even after the fort hood attack and knowing that Yemen was now a hot bed for terrorism and a radical cleric had set up a base there.
The terrorists bush released even obama administration admitted they hadn’t done anything and were using it as cover.

“There are no direct middle class tax increases in the budget.”
If the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire on December 31, the top-tier personal income tax rate will rise to 39.6 percent from 35 percent. But lower-income families will pay more as well: the 25 percent tax bracket will revert back to 28 percent; the 28 percent bracket will increase to 31 percent; and the 33 percent bracket will increase to 36 percent. The special 10 percent bracket is eliminated.

My goodness, they let the Fox untruthers out early from school today. Drudge must have a link to this story.

Good job Mr President. Don’t let the detractors derail you. REAL America stands with you.

My goodness, they let the Fox untruthers out early from school today. Drudge must have a link to this story.
Visit the above post. Please concentrate on Palin.

The entire 2008 campaign was based on lies. Obama, Pelosi, Reid and other liberals made promises and pledges they did not keep. Now, Obama is campaigning for 2010 and 2012! Americans are fed up with HCF and Cap and Trade. We want them to create jobs, reduce debt and treat terrorists as terrorists, among other things. Obama and the liberals in Congress plan to cram this down our throats, regardless of what it takes. They made deals “behind closed doors” at our expense. We don’t want this massive, intrusive government. What happened to transparency and C-Span? Remember, the liberals control Congress. This is the most corrupt administration in American history.

Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the other liberals in Congress based the entire 2008 campaign on lies. They simply cannot be trusted. Twelve months of this corrupt administration seems longer than eight years of the previous administration.

Is this propaganda fueled by FOX NEWS or is their some truth to all this. Comments anyone. By the way I got tired thinking about all this I could have put up much more.

Remember, a lie told often enough, will soon be repeated by the Liberal party as the Obama’s honest truth.

Wow. Bush Bush Bush bush bush Bush. When is Obama going to come out of the bushes???? he keeps hiding behind them. We are not radicals just as you lefties claimed when you all told bush to shut up and called him stupid. We are Americans who know what Obama and gang or doing destroying this country

Is this propaganda fueled by FOX NEWS or is their some truth to all this.
____________________________________
Most of the points you post are half-truths at best.

Actually, the 80% (all released under Obama, of course) went to college, got their degrees applied for green cards and all have high-paying jobs at one or more of the companies that met with the Democrats in secret to formulate health care “reform.” As a group, they just finished construction of a Habitat home and are now on their way to Haiti to help rebuild. I am told that two of them are actually now teaching Sunday school classes and donating all of their pay to help the U.S. overcome Obama’s $1.4 trillion deficit.

Any terrorist released out of any adminstration WILL go back and join up again. They can’t keep them from doing that unless they execute them. Which they SHOULD do!!!

With all the corruption in this administration and all the blame game, not my fault gang in the White House, maybe the next terrorist attack or man made disaster will be in DC where it will do the least damage.

Seriously, when is MSM going to quit parroting ANYTHING Obama says as the Gospel? Why don’t you do a little “INVESTIGATIVE” reporting on your own? Cover the Inspector General’s report on all the money the admistration has spent is for NOTHING? How about Reuter’s claim that there is back door tax increases for the middle class? The White House called Reuters and STRONGLY REQUESTED that this article be removed. REPORT on SOMETHING besides what the President TELLS you to say.
