A majority of American voters want any ISIS terrorist captured by the United States sent to Guantanamo Bay rather than a federal prison.  That?s a key finding of the latest Fox News poll, as President Obama wants to close Gitmo amid widespread fears ISIS will try to strike the homeland soon.

A large 81-percent majority expects the Islamic extremist group ISIS to attempt a U.S. attack in the near future, including 48 percent who think it is ?very? likely, according to the poll released Wednesday.

If an ISIS fighter were to be captured by the U.S., where should that prisoner be sent?  By a 59-29 percent margin, voters say the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba.

Obama wants to close the facility and fulfill a 2008 campaign promise, yet 56 percent of voters want to keep it open.  That?s up from 52 percent in June, though down from a record 63 percent in 2013.

Obama wants...who gives a crap about what that knucklehead wants.  He may be president, but he is soon to find out how little power he does have if the Republican Congress grow a pair.

The war in Syria will drag us in like quicksand.

we're barely engaged in Syria.  we're barely engaged in Iraq against ISIS.  hell, we're barely engaged in Afghanistan.

these days, being an international terrorist is a less dangerous job than being a fireman in ferguson, MO.
