Obama: How is Shutting Down Gitmo Going?

January 20th seems like yesterday, when our President in all his glory committed to shutting down Gitmo without having a clue what he was going to do with all of these people who wanted to see America destroyed. As of now its 4 months till you promised the camp would be shut, clock is ticking and voting present won't work, after all you did win.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration said on Wednesday it would seek a two-month delay for all military trials for terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay while Congress weighs new rules for the proceedings and the White House considers trying them in U.S. courts.

President Barack Obama is trying to close the prison, with plans to try some of the foreign terrorism suspects in military commissions and others in federal courts in the United States. The prison at a U.S. naval base in Cuba currently holds 226 detainees.

The military trials have been on hold since Obama announced soon after taking office in January that he planned to close the prison by January 2010. About 10 cases are pending before military judges. The administration had faced a deadline of Thursday to decide whether to seek another delay.

Kick the can, great policy Mr. President.
