Obama trying to appease terrorists by releasing GITMO prisoners
“Dangerous to the national security of the United States.” … “Can you imagine a worse message for us to be sending , to have our enemies and our allies in Cairo and elsewhere as we do everything we can, frankly, to bribe the Taliban.

Cantor: There is a lack of certainty & leadership coming from the White House on Iran
Seems Obama was awfully anxious to bomb Libya. Could his 20 years at the feet of anti-Semite Jeremiah Wright have influenced Obama’s relationship with Israel? Rep.
