Shepard Smith Fox Studio B vs. Representative Peter King

The Closing Of Gitmo Or Not

Representative Peter King ap[eared on Fox Studio B with Shepard Smith discussing the closing of Gitmo.  Smith does his best to defend socialist Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign pledge to close Guantanamo Bay.  This is one campaign pledge Obama shouldn’t keep.  He’s not keeping the transparency on Obamacare pledge made on 8 separate occasions.

Peter King from Long Island was on talking about Gitmo.  And he said, "I think the President should end this race to close Guantanamo and realize that it's sending a very mixed signal to the world and to our people in the field."

From there the dialog went as follows:

Smith:  How is that sending a mixed signal?  He campaigned on that, he's been real firm on that.  He said that gave us a black eye around the world, and studies seem to suggest that's exactly what it did, and what difference does it make where you house them as long as they don't get out?

King:  It makes a very big difference because right now we've no place to put them.  

Smith: Oh they'll find a place to put them congressman. 

King:  He wants to send them to Yemen, and obviously --

Smith:  They're not going to do that.  They've already said they're not going to do that.

King:  Well, they were going to do it up until yesterday. 

Smith:  They're not now
.
King:  Well, why was he even thinking about it for the last year?  We should not be giving -- and just because the terrorists say that Gitmo is a recruiting agent, so is our support of Israel.  Does that mean we shouldn't support Israel?

Smith:  You're not equating the two are you congressman?  I mean, truly, why is this political football being thrown around so much. In the middle of all this President Obama campaigned on this issue, and he said he was going to do it, he got elected, and now he's going to do it.

King:  He's wrong, and he should learn by his mistakes.

Smith:  Why do we spend time even talking about it?  Why do people care?  I mean we've --

King:  Well it’s very important. I’ll tell you why.

Smith: In Cuba, we shoved them off to another country and stuck them on the end of an island and given the nation a black eye, if you believe -- if you believe President Obama.

King: No, Shepard, only a -- I don't believe him -- I think only a person that’s incredibly naive would say that we got -- that we deserve that black eye. We got it because elements in the media and elements in the Democratic Party kept parroting that line.

Smith: [in disgust]: Ugh.  

King: But the fact is they’re being treated [with] extreme humaneness at Guantanamo. It was the right thing to do and there were constitutional reasons for doing it and legal reasons for doing it, all of which, I think, have been proven right. You have to keep them in a place where they can be interrogated, where information can be gotten from them, intelligence gotten from them. We have the right to keep them there as long as we want to, I believe.

Shepard Smith showed the usual left wing bias.  All of the left wing needs to accept that Gitmo doesn’t cause terrorist attacks.  Gitmo probably has prevented attacks but not caused them.  

The Islamic Jihadists hate our way of life.  They hate that we prosper.  They hate that women are equals in America.  It has nothing to do with Gitmo.  Gitmo has helped keep us safe.
