In the latest of a string of actions that favor violent criminals, President Joe Biden is releasing 11 terrorists now housed at the U.S. military prison in Guantánamo Bay, transferring the men to Oman, which borders Yemen, an international base of terrorism. The men are all from Yemen, and the move may incite more conflict in the Middle East, where Yemen is a base of terrorism in the region and around the world.
The Pentagon posted a news release about the release of the men, but did not feature it on its front page. No mention of it was made by Biden himself.
Since around 2001, after the Sept. 11 attack on New York and the Pentagon, the War on Terror resulted in the detaining of nearly 800 terrorists at Guantánamo. In 2023, Biden’s Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin notified Congress of his intent to “repatriate” the Yemeni detainees to Oman. The process to release the men to other countries that work to counter terrorism was created by executive order by President Barack Obama in 2011. Oman, although in the middle of the Islamic State terrorism zone, is one of those countries considered to be active in anti-terrorism.
“Today, 15 detainees remain at Guantanamo Bay: 3 are eligible for transfer; 3 are eligible for a Periodic Review Board; 7 are involved in the military commissions process; and 2 detainees have been convicted and sentenced by military commissions,” the Pentagon said.
Guantánamo is located on the island of Cuba, where the United States Navy established a lease of 45 square acres in 1903, which is surrounded by fencing. The use of the prison there keeps international terrorists from becoming magnets for more terror in prisons on the mainland of the United States. The prison is, however, controversial and some say that indefinite detentions based on what some say are unfair trials are a violation of human rights.
Gitmo is the United States’ oldest overseas military installation and the only one in a communist country. It is an operational and logistics hub, supporting a variety of missions including maritime security, humanitarian assistance, and joint operations, the Navy says in a description, adding, “Its unique geographic location provides strategic advantages, enhancing U.S. defense capabilities in the region and serving as a critical forward operating base for various military and humanitarian activities.”
Last month, Biden pardoned, commuted sentences, and gave clemency to violent criminals on death row, and his own son, who was a drug abuser with tax evasion and firearms violations.
Just 13 more days! The longest 13 days of our lives!

Just another step in Biden’s quest to secure his spot as the worst president in the history of our country.
I think 45 already has that wrapped up, but 47 will surpass it. Biden is just clearing Gitmo for the cabinet of 47 when 48 takes office. 13 days for the grift of the billionaires to kick in full strength as 47 is sworn in, bought and paid for by Elon.

You’re just a speed bump who is getting run over. It is real fun to watch you squirm because your now a lib who can’t get over you lost.
Have a beautiful day, fake Alaska
Another brick in the Biden Wall between normal, law-abiding Americans and the terrorists and murderers that this administration loves so much. If only he had this much mercy for the old grandma in the Capitol on January 6…
Just more selling out his country because he lost the election. treason comes to mind……
What else do they have planned for the last days of this demented old fool? I’m expecting a mass pardon of all illegal immigrants.
These criminals … “can run but, they can’t hide” from the medal to be dispatched soon by the incoming … logic, reason, common sense!
The American people need to know the REAL truth about Biden. It has to be revealed completely. All non pardoned members of the corrupt Biden money machine need to be pursued. Especially his family members including his grand children. The traitor Biden has done damage to the American people at so many levels cannot be allowed to be forgotten and dismissed within a couple of news cycles. Just look at the latest of the banning of off shore drilling, why? Simple it plays directly into Russia’s hands. Same Russia’s that gave the Biden money machine millions of dollars.
