   Can you imagine the conversation between Holder and Obama. “Eric, give me something to shove down the voters throat…I’m runnin’ for reelection here and I need some-um….”

   It will take a while. His efforts are focused on arresting Amish for taking fresh vegetables and raw milk between state lines and filing law suits against the states.

   In spite of that, the Attorney General wants everybody to know that he still hasn’t forgotten about following through with President Obama’s executive order to close Gitmo by January…. of 2010:

   Appears Holder can be fired for insubordination. Failed to follow a direct order. Sweeeet.

   Gitmo has taken a back seat to other issues lately, so maybe it’s a strategical error on the AG’s part to come out and remind those whose attention has since been distracted from the issue that the place is in fact still open for business

   Or perhaps it is being used as a distraction from Fast and Furious, Solyndra and Light Squared.

    Barry: Look, I need a distraction and I can’t be worried about whether or not you’re gonna get indicted. It’s all about ME, not you.
    Eric: Uh, Mr. President, I’m working on the Arizona lawsuit, tracking Joe Arpaio, trying to shred a bunch of stuff on Solyandra, and covering up all that LightSquared stuff, and then there’s those damn Amish.
    Barry: Look, I need this Gitmo issue handled. Get your priorities in order, man. I, I, I, have to get reelected.

    Gunwalker Updated

    Let’s call it the “tale of the tape.” CBS’s Sharyl Attkisson obtained access to a recorded conversation between an ATF agent and a legal gun dealer in Arizona, who apparently was the source of the two “walked” firearms found at the crime scene. But during the conversation, mention is made of a third assault rifle:
    http://sistertoldjah.com/archives/2011/09/20/gunwalker-more-evidence-of-a-third-gun-at-the-terry-murder/
    Earlier speculation was that the gun was “disappeared” to protect a high-level informant planted in the cartels, who would be exposed were the gun to become part of the public record.

    However, Allahpundit at Hot Air raises another possibility: what if this missing SKS was the gun that fired the shot that killed Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry? Neither of the two AKs has been identified as the fatal weapon, implying that Terry might not have been killed with a “walked” firearm. If this putative third weapon fired the killing shot, however, then you have a direct connection between Operation Fast and Furious and the murder of a US federal agent.

    The incentive some people might have to make this gun vanish seems pretty clear.

    In Operation Fast and Furious, however, one, perhaps two, US federal agents may have been killed with guns provided by the US government to Mexican drug cartels. Over 150 Mexican soldiers, federal agents, and civilians have been killed with “walked” weapons — and that number is growing. There is even evidence of other Gunwalker-style operations elsewhere in the US, with the weapons from which playing a part in who-knows-what-or-how-many crimes.

    This isn’t going away.

    He’s talking to the socialists in Brussels. He has to come up with SOMEthing positive to say about America, and since he, like Moochelle, loathes the country, he has to really scramble around to say something he hopes they’ll like.

    Some of the other things he could have said:
    * “We’re working to become just as insolvent as you guys!”

    * “I think we can make this socialism thing work. I know it’s causing chaos for you folks over here, but hey, we’re Americans, and we can do it right!”

    * “I’ve been working around the clock to make sure we keep up with you on allowing Muslims to establish their own rules.”

    * “Hey, I didn’t know about all those guns that were being exported to Mexico! I’m no arms dealer…”

    * “I think we’re making progress on moving our country to be more like yours. If my boss gets elected next time around, I’m positive we’ll be ready to join your European Union as another state.”

    * “Don’t blame me for letting Iran make nukes that can reach you… that was Hillary’s gig!”

    If Holder was smart (which he ain’t), he should beg to keep GITMO open. It’s a much nicer place than Rikers, which I’m hoping is where he ends up if there is any justice in this world.

    Declare the prison a “green jobs” hub, loan it a half billion taxpayer dollars, then hire the detainees to manufacture and sell solar panels and windmill parts. The place would be shuttered before next summer.

    Or you could have the prisoners manufature CFL bulbs. Let mercury do the job that the hangman normally would.

    More likely he will claim he is closing it, the House will not appropriate the monies for closing it, Obama will blame Republicans for obstructing the close of GITMO, his base gets fired up by it.

    typical lib playbook.

    This is interesting timing:

    Even as U.S.-led forces draw down in Afghanistan, U.S. officials expect the number of detainees at their main prison to increase — and by a significant margin.

    Officials had already announced that they would retain control of the Parwan Detention Center north of Kabul well beyond the planned 2012 transfer date because of concerns that the Afghan legal system is still too weak. But U.S. officials recently said they intend to solicit contractors to help expand the facility’s capacity from about 3,500 beds to 5,500 beds.

    So they will close GITMO and move all the prisoners to Afghanistan….
