BY FORMER GITMO INMATE!
MORE PROOF GITMO TERRORISTS
SHOULD NOT BE RELEASED

Yesterday MAF made a plea for you to help out our Marines who are taking part in Operation Khanjar. This operation is the largest and fiercest fight in the Afghanistan war and 4,000 Marines are taking part.
Today, the mass media are reporting a couple stories about the progress of Operation Khanjar. While the Taliban and Al Qaeda could never stand toe to toe with our highly skilled Marines, several news organizations reported that the Taliban are in the middle of launching a counter-operation.
Operation Foladi Jal, Pashtu for ‘Iron Net’ is supposedly a Taliban counteroffensive designed to ‘teach’ our Marines ‘a lesson’ according to a Taliban spokesman.
The Taliban are being led by ‘Mullah Zakir’ a former GUANTANAMO BAY detainee also known as Abdullah Ghulam Rassoul. Zakir was LET GO, he was RELEASED because of international pressure, and now he is out there in Afghanistan leading the Taliban and killing American troops!
What is wrong with these people in our government who turn our enemies loose so they can come back and kill our military men and women? It just sickens us, and hope you agree with this total outrage.
MAF has produced a TV AD urging Americans to support our troops at GITMO and keep America safe by fighting to keep GITMO open. Polls show that over 60% of Americans don’t want to close GITMO.
This is a travesty, and it’s even more dangerous because President Obama is trying to close Gitmo and possibly release even more of these monsters into the world.
Zakir was handed over to Afghan authorities to be imprisoned there, but he was released, which means that we CANNOT trust foreign governments like Afghanistan, Yemen or Saudi Arabia to keep tabs on these terrorists. There IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR GITMO, especially when American lives, our troops’ lives, are at stake!

According to a report by Fox News:
| A former Guantanamo Bay inmate is leading the fight against U.S. Marines in the Helmand province of Afghanistan, a senior U.S. defense official confirmed to FOX News on Tuesday. [Zakir]… surrendered in Mazar-e-Sharif in Northern Afghanistan in 2001, and was transferred to Gitmo in 2006. He was released in late 2007 to Afghan custody… Zakir was released from Afghan custody around 2008, according to the New York Post. He re-established connections with high-level Taliban leaders in Afghanistan and Pakistan after his second release. Taliban chief Mullah Omar appointed Zakir in mid-2008 as senior military commander, according to the newspaper. |
Further on in the report, our Department of Defense official reveals the folly in Obama’s plan to release the detainees to try and reconcile the U.S. with Europe and the Arab street.
| Explaining why Zakir was released from Gitmo, the defense official said, "We were under incredible pressure from the world to release detainees at Gitmo. You just don't know what people are going to do.” |
When will the politicians, especially President Obama learn the simple truth? Appeasement DOESN’T WORK! Even more important is the lesson: THESE TERRORISTS ARE DANGEROUS!
President Bush was right to detain these villains in GITMO, he was right to sequester them in a highly protected, secure military facility. But he DID NOT do enough to ignore the leftists here in America and especially around the world. Now, Obama is actively TRYING to distribute these terrorist to other countries where they could be released or worse yet he may allows GITMO terrorists to be set free here in America. And here we have another example of why this is such a bad idea. Now our Marines are going to have to deal with Zakir TWICE.

REID, PELOSI, SCHUMER, AND AL FRANKEN CLOSE GITMO!
DON’T LET OBAMA AND ERIC HOLDER RELEASE THEM
HERE IN AMERICA OR ANYWHERE THEY COULD
THREATEN OUR TROOPS OR AMERICAN CITIZENS

MOVE AMERICA FORWARD IS FIGHTING TO KEEP GITMO OPEN.
PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO OUR EFFORTS HERE!
SEND CARE PACKAGES TO OUR 4,000 MARINES FIGHTING IN AFGHANISTAN

Fighting intense heat and long marches, these Marines are lugging heavy equipment on their backs and slugging it out for control of towns and villages across Helmand province in southern Afghanistan.
As has been reported in the news, these small towns have long been strongholds of Taliban power, where the local Afghan army has little or no presence or power to enforce the laws or give legitimacy to the Government in Kabul and as a result the Taliban and Al Qaeda have largely had free reign to exploit local tribes and use them as cover.
Our Marines are there now, fighting the Taliban forces and forcing them out of the cities and into the hills so they will be easier to distinguish from civilian targets, and much easier to neutralize and kill. Unfortunately, establishing outposts in these towns will take time and meanwhile, our troops don’t have nice dining facilities and supply depots like the ones enjoyed by troops at larger bases, so they are relying on us for anything above the bare necessities. That’s why we send them care packages, filled with food and other items that they can carry with them into the field.
We owe it to our Marines to equip them properly to complete their missions and stay alive, and a little extra coffee, beef jerky and refreshing Gatorade will go a long way to make their combat operations more bearable.
