5:42Now Playing"In a major speech Thursday at the National Defense University, President Barack Obama described in broad terms what his administration has framed as a new, more limited approach to waging what's known as the war against al Qaeda and associated forces. The speech covered many topics, including the role of drones and a potential repeal of the congressional Authorization for the Use of Military Force at some point in the future. It also marked the most extensive comment Obama has made publicly about Guantanamo Bay since an ongoing hunger strike brought renewed attention to the prison there."*
President Obama talked about alleged progress on finally closing Guantanamo Bay's detention center. We've heard it before...and we'll probably hear it again. Cenk Uygur explains why what Obama had to say was just rhetoric.
