#2 Does Obama want to give Gitmo to the Castros?

As predicted here on the Burg quite a while back. Stay tuned for the 2017 ribbon cutting ceremony and ground breaking of the Obama People's Library and Re-Education Center.

#3 I just don't think so. Gitmo is of vital strategic importance. You wouldn't want a Russian or Chinese leased naval base at the doorsteps of Florida.

Sorry, but not even Obama will do such an idiotic thing unless he wants to retire in Havana and miss out on all that money he will make with "speeches" in the next years.

#4 EC,given Obama's hatred for America and especially its military, I don't think it is beyond him to turn Gitmo over to the Cubans. Having a Russian or Chinese base there would just be icing on the cake.

#5 We need to put whatever replaces Gitmo in four different places: Honolulu, San Francisco, Manhattan, and Martha's Vineyard, so that when the lawfare hits the fan and they get released, they're walking the streets in the areas that voted for that c***.

#6 I doubt even 0stupid could get Congress to roll over to agree with this.

#7 Actually he could do it without Congress. The Guantanamo treaty says that the base would revert to Cuba if the U.S. "abandons" it.

The Commander in Chief could recall all troops and abandon the base.

But please, let's be realistic. This is NOT going to happen. The military and the American public would fry him alive.

#8 The military and the American public would fry him alive.

Even though Obama has the standard Leftist hatred of the military, he *is* the Command and Chief of the armed forces, and half of America voted for him twice.

This is a man in search of a legacy. At this point, I would be surprised if Gitmo did NOT end up in Cuban hands.

#9 Congress could set up some kind of military development program at Gitmo that 0bean couldn't touch.
