I checked the e-mail during the time-out. People think that the left in this country is going to be outraged when they find out that Obama won\u2019t close Guantanamo Bay for four years. They won\u2019t hear that. It\u2019s in the Washington Post today, but that\u2019s where it will die. What they\u2019re going to hear is an executive order announced to close it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right, that\u2019s enough. That was January 16th when I predicted they\u2019re not going to close Club Gitmo. Sunday morning This Week, George Stephanopoulos talking to Robert Gates, &#8216;Major story in the Washington Post suggesting the president\u2019s deadline of January 22 for closing Gitmo won\u2019t be met. White House officials tell me at least some prisoners will still be there on January 22nd and beyond. How big a setback is that?\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125115.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"alignright\"\/>GATES: The question was, &#8216;Should we set a deadline?\u2019 I actually was one of those who said we should. &#8216;If you don\u2019t put a deadline on something you\u2019ll never move the bureaucracy.\u2019 But I also said, &#8216;and then if we find we can\u2019t get it done by that time but we have a good plan, then you\u2019re in a position to say it\u2019s going to take us a little longer but we are moving in the direction of implementing the policy that the president said.\u2019 And I think that\u2019s the position.<\/p>\n<p>STEPHANOPOULOS: That\u2019s where we are. So the deadline of January 22nd will not be met?<\/p>\n<p>GATES: It\u2019s going to be tough.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And January 23rd will not be met, and January 24th will not be met. And January 25th will not be met. They\u2019re not going to close Gitmo. They don\u2019t know how. They don\u2019t know what to do with the people that are there.
