GITMO - A Recruiting Tool?

Obama consistently touts GITMO as a recruiting tool for the radical Islamic terrorists.  He once again said so in his State of the Union speech tonight while proclaiming his goal to close GITMO before his term ends.  I don't understand how it is or where the Democrats have concluded that GITMO is such a strong recruiting tool.  I have news for them.  The strongest and most effective recruiting tool is SUCCESS.  It doesn't matter whether its a college football recruiting program, a business,  or a terrorist group, success is the keynote of recruiting to the cause.  And, contrary to Obama's words this evening ISIS is having a large measure of success due to his inaction, lack of leadership and will to confront ISIS and others of their ilk.  Therein lies their successful recruiting.  Not GITMO.

I'd like to see GITMO closed, too,  but only if appropriate and swift disposition is made of all the terrorist detainees. Its ludicrous that we spend $4 million per detainee per year to keep them there.
