It would happen at the same time as the closing of Guantanamo Bay, I imagine.

  Yes, simultaneously with the end of drone strikes. All of these things ended in '08, when he was elected, remember, just like he promised.

    He never promised to end drone strikes. In fact I believe he emphasized drone strikes even then in order to shift away from American "boots on ground" and the then-current policy of using JDAM bomb strikes (which are even more dangerous w.r.t. collateral damage).

      You're quite right, actually - he didn't promise anything about drones - as at that point they didn't officially exist, most likely.
