#3 Chaos Theory:

In Chaos Theory, the “butterfly effect” is the name given to the sensitive connection between initial conditions in which an insignificant event in one state in non-linear systems, can result in sometimes catastrophic events in the universal state.

In other words, although unlikely, it is possible for a butterfly flapping its wings in Texas to cause a typhoon in the Japanese Sea.

Case in point, in mid-20th Century America, a loose 18-year-old hippie female in a Honolulu college had sex with an older, alcoholic Kenyan man on a student visa, who had a wife and child back in Africa. And this less than significant event started the collapse and dissolution of the United States of America.

#5 A couple of rants:

1. The real story is - Obama continues to deny Justice for the families of the 9/11 victims. Move the Judge, defense and prosecutors down there and make them stay until the 9/11 trial is complete.
2. Establish a location to detain, interrogate, and prosecute captured terrorists. Detainee terrorists = actionable intel = additional targets.
3. Prosecute the detainees once intel collection is complete...whether it be in Federal Court, Commissions, or a host nation. Lawfare, warfare...I don't care - lets just get it done.

#6 He could close Gitmo in a heartbeat. Just hold drumhead court-martials for the inmates. For those convicted of being illegal combatants, a firing squad. End of problem. All legal under the Geneva Conventions.

#7 Seems to me only Congress could approve of shutting down and handing over a military base.
