During his State of the Union speech on January 28, 2014, President Obama stated that, “this needs to be the year Congress lifts the remaining restrictions on detainee transfers and we close the prison at Guantanamo Bay."

The obvious question in respect to Obama’s Guantanamo statement is, “Why now?”. Back on June 24, 2007, presidential hopeful Obama told a crowd, "We're going to close Guantanamo. And we’re going to restore habeas corpus”. However, 7 years later, Obama has not lifted a finger to close Guantanamo. It appears that he only highlighted it in his latest speech to draw as much public attention to Guantanamo just prior to an Iranian attack on it.

Prior to an unprecedented prison break at U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, the public must be led to believe though fabricated headlines and staged events that yes, it can happen. As evidenced, there has been a rash of prison attacks, prison breaks and prison fires which may culminate in an attack on Guantanamo Bay by Iran.
