Naturally. Barack Obama has turned Gitmo (and the American people themselves, though not the same extent as Europeans) into ISIS's triple-A minor league franchise, after all, the same way he's turned ISIS into the jihadist New York Yankees:
Former Guantanamo Bay detainees may have joined up with the Islamic State or other extremist groups within the Syrian border, according to senior Defense Department and intelligence officials.
It's not known just how many released detainees have joined ranks with the Islamic State (ISIS), al-Qaida, or its affiliated al-Nusra Front in Syria, but sources told Fox News that at least twenty to thirty may be involved.
Other former detainees are helping the groups from outside through financing operations and support for their propaganda campaigns, the sources said.
Much of the ISIS propaganda to date includes the heavy use of social media to actively recruit new fighters and spread the militants' jihadist message to people around the world.
In a sane world, this wouldn't be considered "news". Really, what else would anybody with three brain cells to rub together expect sprung jihadists to do? The Islamic State has reversed all the gains, all the achievements of, for all intents and purposes defeated "the Great Satan" in Iraq, is laughing hysterically at Barack Obama's phony air campaign against them, is steadily, inexorably overrunning the entire Middle East, and eventually far beyond....
....with absolutely no reason to believe that they won't be even more successful than they already expect to be, and certainly no reason to think that the West in general or the U.S. in particular will make any genuine effort to stop them. If this were not so, released Gitmo detainees really would be going home to polish their camels or whatever.
But then, if this were a sane world, no Gitmo detainees would have been released, Iraq wouldn't have been abandoned (as Afghanistan soon also will be), Syria and Iran would also have been liberated over a decade ago, and Barack Hussein Obama would never have been elected POTUS in the first place.
I know it's depressing, but we must always remember the context surrounding these demoralizing events.
But take heart, my friends; at least there is some room for gallows humor:
The news that some of the prisoners leaving Guantanamo are joining militant forces may complicate President Barack Obama's inaugural promise in 2009 to shut down the facility, which was opened in the wake of the 9-11 attacks.
"May"? Again, in even a semi-sane world, that would read "will". But we don't have even that level of collective mental faculty:
A senior administration official said earlier this month that Obama is considering the use of executive power to override a congressional ban on bringing Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States, which would allow him to achieve his goal of closing the detention facility.
The official, speaking under conditions of anonymity to the Wall Street Journal earlier this month, said the president is "unwavering in his commitment" to closing Guantanamo before he leaves office in two years, and considers the closure part of his presidential legacy.
Any American president would (1) not be turning loose illegal enemy combatants in the middle of a long war that is years (decades by now, thanks to him, assuming he even keeps up the pretense of resistance) from concluding, and (2) would self-evidently recognize that he does not have the legal or constitutional authority to "override Congress" on closing Gitmo and effectively surrendering to the Islamic Fundamentalists.
But Barack Hussein Obama isn't an American president; he's a foreign-minded, Marxist-Alinskyist, jihadi-symp dictator, one that We, The People inflicted upon ourselves not once, but twice. And as the saying goes, "elections have consequences" - even the ones that destroy for all time the constitutional federal republic that made them possible.
