A retired U.S. Army officer says the Obama administration is engaging in rampant “hypocrisy” as it trumpets the drone killing of terrorist targets while also releasing some of the worst terrorists from the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.
Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Bob Maginnis is now an adviser to the Pentagon and the author of the new book “Never Submit: Will the Extermination of Christians Get Worse Before it Gets Better.” Maginnis told the Washington Times on Sunday that Obama’s schizophrenic policy on terrorists is mind-boggling.
“The hypocrisy of the Obama administration knows no limit,” said Maginnis in a comment to the Times. “On one hand, they boast about bagging al-Qaida bomb makers, and on the other, they are releasing known bomb makers from Gitmo.”
Maginnis told WND and Radio America Obama’s goal of emptying Guantanamo as quickly as possible is especially infuriating.
“We spent a lot of blood, sweat and tears and certainly a lot of money to try to incarcerate and detain known terrorists from al-Qaida or battlefields in Iraq or elsewhere in the world,” he said. “The Obama administration is dead set on letting them all go.”
Maginnis added, “The American people, I think, should be up in arms. Here we have a president who is releasing known killers.”
