Can you show me where any of them stated this?
Sure eventually it will close... :lol:
Dems control all three branches, filibuster proof majority. You can't keep blaming the right for the actions of the left... :lol:
No they are full of savages that do harm to one another.
It makes little sense to play shuffle the haji for no reason what so ever.

Democrats Plan to Block Gitmo Closing - WSJ.com
WASHINGTON -- Bowing to political pressure, Senate Democrats said Tuesday that they planned to withhold funding to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, until President Barack Obama presents a plan for handling its 241 detainees.
Democrats also plan to prevent the administration from spending any money to transfer Guantanamo detainees to the U.S. during the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. Both restrictions are contained in an amendment to a $91.3 billion measure funding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; the amendment is expected to be approved in the Senate as early as Wednesda
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he would withhold judgment on the transfer of inmates until the White House came up with a plan.
