America Speaks: Leave GITMO As Is, Keep Terrorists Outside Our Borders

Published by at 10:33 am under Bin Laden/GWOT

Doesn’t get any more clear than this:

Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to closing the detention center for suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay and moving some of the detainees to prisons on U.S. soil, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds.

By more than 2-1, those surveyed say Guantanamo shouldn’t be closed. By more than 3-1, they oppose moving some of the accused terrorists housed there to prisons in their own states.

Time for the liberals to change course – change we can believe in AND support. H/T RCP

    The Media said Bush was stupid………Obama believed it. Now who looks stupid?

    Great, just what we need – adopting our national security policies based on public opinion polls. Perhaps Obama should poll the country on what it wants to do in N. Korea and let the American public decide our strategy.

    The American citizens have the power to govern this country. Damn straight our elected officials should base their policies on what we think is the best strategy.

    Well I guess it’s OK now that the anointed one has reached the same conclusion. GITMO is good for our security and sends the right message to our enemies, both foreign and domestic. VIVA GITMO!!!!

    Conman,
    If I remember correctly, in terms of letting opinion polls guide national security decisions, didn’t the Left cite endless “polls” while demanding an immediate retreat err… ‘strategic redeployment’ from Iraq?
