Yemeni Transfers From GTMO on Hold
Tuesday, January 05, 2010 at 3:27 pm
Jake Tapper reports from the White House press briefing today:
“One of the very first things that Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula used as a recruiting tool was the existence of Guantanamo Bay,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said at his daily briefing. “We are not going to make decisions about transfers that, to a country like Yemen that would, that they’re not capable of handling. And I think that, while we remain committed to closing the facility, the determination has been made that right now any additional transfers to Yemen is not a good idea.
I await the transcript to see the legal basis for the effective continued detention of about 40 Yemeni citizens cleared for release from Guantanamo. Yesterday a Yemeni official told me, “It is my country’s duty to ask for the custody of our detainees, like every country would do.”

[NATO New Strategic Concept Vs Self Supporting Security]
[FRANCE]
FRANCE: TROOP LEVEL: (4,300) (KIA/UNK) (Kabul) Declined the request for additional troops, President Sarkozy France would not be sending reinforcements to bolster its existing force northeast of Kabul, but was [ready to do more] in the field of police training and economic aid.
[GERMANY]
GERMANY: TROOP LEVEL: (4,300) (KIA 35+) (Northern Afghanistan/Kunduz) The German Bundeswehr's parliamentary mandate allows for [4,500] Four-Thousand-Five-Hundred German Bundeswehr [German Armed Forces], troops to be stationed in the Afghanistan Hindu Cush, with [2] Two bases in Kunduz the largest in Mazar-e-Sharif with a smaller base in Faizabad, and was heading up until the present take over by Empire Forces the [NATO’s] North Atlantic Treaty Organizations efforts in Regional Command North, which has lead to major confrontations been the Bundeswehr Command and that of the Empire, often placing German troops in danger, as offensive operations are often taken in German Self-Supporting Security Zones, of defensive operations, without German units having been notified, that such operations were scheduled by Empire individual units.
[Setting the Jan. 28th Stage]
The German & French Alliance on Jan. 28th in the United Kingdom, at the London Confab hosted by the [PM] Prime Minister of England Gordon Brown and by the Secretary General of [NATO] the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Anders Fogh Rasmussen of Denmark, ‘Der Stümper von Kopenhagen’ (‘The Clutz from Copenhagen’), and supported by the Media Messiah President of the American-Israeli Empire, all of whom to date have used every diplomatic tick of the trade too create the impression of unity among all [47] Forty-Seven nations within and without [NATO] of mutual support, for Offensive operations to be taken within the war in Afghanistan, and the separation of [1] One war from another, as if they were not multiple theatres within the same area of operation the Islamic Crescent/Arabian Peninsula, [Iraq, Afghanistan, the secret wars in Pakistan, and Yemem], with the Empire going too the lengths of waiting until after the general election in Germany held on [Sept. 27, 2009] before officially announcing that the Europeans [Germany] would be expected to help by providing additional forces, then having requested thru [NATO] that Germany deploy at least [2] two addition Bundeswehr battalions made up and average of [662] Six-Hundred-sixty-two, basically a request that Germany provide the mass number as allowed under its mandate level authorized by the German Bundeswehr's [Parliament].
[NATO NEW STRATEGIC CONCEPT]
The new mission of [NATO] is the establishing of Western-style democracies around the globe, with organization members having joint interests everywhere, new threats have arisen and missions have developed that no one could have imagined within the past decade, fighting against the new forms of state based and non-state based terrorism, preventing the acquisition of [WMD’s] weapons of mass destruction with missiles or other deliver systems, cyber warfare, the threat posed by pirates, faced with all the challenges of the [21st] Century The Secretary General felt [NATO] must find a response to these challenges, and therefore [NATO], Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, requested a comprehensive new strategic concept for [NATO], replacing a decade old strategy. One in which response will be based upon individual offensive decisions intentionally targeting suspected enemies of the Empire even when they do not pose a direct threat, that is, are not involved in belligerent actions, as long as warlike conditions exist in any areas of [NATO] operations. The mission of [NATO] will be invested in the establishing of Western-style democracies in these regions and states, with a transitional exit strategy based upon gaining the trust of the people, a gradual transfer of power, turning over control, district by district, province by province and can only be completed when these countries have proven their capable of governing their country, guaranteeing not only their security, but that of the Empire, [AND WILL REQUIRE THAT TROOPS OF OCCUPATION REMAIN WITHIN A COUNTRY OR REGION, FOR UNDETERMINED AMOUNTS OF TIME TO ENSURE THEIR STABILITY].
[Self Supporting Security]
Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, stated that German has a great responsibility in the Hindu Cush, War of Economic Stimulus on the Islamic Crescent and Germany would carry its share of responsibility, militarily. But, and this is where Self Supporting Security enters in [IN THE AREA OF MORE CIVIL RECONSTRUCTION AND IN POLICE TRAINING, WHILE INCREASING AID IN THESE AREAS], and as stated under [France] would [NOT] be sending reinforcements to bolster its existing force northeast of Kabul, but was [READY TO DO MORE] in the field of police training and economic aid, the Self Supporting Security position taken by Germany. Speaking to the [Welt am Sonntag newspaper] the German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, was more reserved when asked if Germany would send more troops to the Islamic Crescent’s Hindu Cush, about the idea that one has to follow the American-Israeli Empire, suggesting that care should be taken by Germany about it, [I WOULD BE CAREFUL WITH THE SENTENCE]. Both France and Germany oppose offensive actions beyond those required within operations self-defense, and completely reject the intentionally targeting of suspected enemies of the Empire, under an offensive policy based upon a unit commanders individual decision, when they do not pose a direct threat, that is, are not involved in belligerent actions, within the war zone or areas in which warlike conditions exist. The German & French Alliance, see the mission of [NATO] as being invested in the establishing of a [STABLE GOVERNMENT NOT NECESSARY DEMOCRATIC OR WESTERN IN STYLE] in these regions and states, with a transitional exit strategy based upon, [PROVINDING THE TOOLS A TRAINED MILITARY, AND POLICE FORCE] built too gain the trust of the people, with a gradual transfer of power, turning over control, district by district, province by province [BUT WITHIN A SET AND ESTABLISHED TIME FRAME FOR COMPLETE AND TOTAL WITHDRAWAL WITH NO TROOPS OF UNLIMITED DURATION OCCUPATION MAINTAINED WITHIN THESE COUNTRIES], each country within the community of nations being responsive to establish its own methods of maintaining the governance of their country, thru the process of [SELF SUPPORTING SECURITY].
[NATO New Strategic Concept Vs Self Supporting Security]
And to that purpose, on [Jan. 28th] European governments representatives will meet in the [U.K.] United Kingdom, London, One side to support the creation of Western Style Democratic of occupied propped up states, the other to support the proving of tools of support to a government or region giving it the chance based upon its own abilities to create a stable government of its own choosing, within established time frames without occupational support, the choice running around the globe creating a world police state of [occupation] with a closed fist of War, or one of being a member of the Community of Nations providing an open hand of support not occupation, Offensive Action Vs Defensive Response, [NATO New Strategic Concept Vs Self Supporting Security].

Just one thing triathlon, there is no Prime Minister of England. The correct term is 'Prime Minister of the United Kingdom'.
In fact the current Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is Scottish, not English.

The Prime Minster of the United Kingdom, would have said to have his kncikers in a twist, but since the he's not English, but a Scott we know the only thing he wears under his kilt is his PRIDE!
Gordia acts more like a Democratic Senator to the United Kingdom than a [MP] and June looks to be a new government, it may just have been the man had a [BRAVEHEART] about England.
