    Obama Releases 'Top Five' Detainees from Gitmo....

    http://weaselzippers.us/2013/07/30/u...o-the-taliban/

    A top US official said that the prisoners were released under the condition that they will not engage in any violent activity. While it is clear that they are guilty of crime, the benefit in releasing them—the potential withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan by the summer of 2014—is greater than the risk. The US announced it will attempt to negotiate peace talks with the Taliban and Afghanistan government officials some months ago.
    Was that a special, secret, hidden, pinky-swear handshake that keeps them from becoming violent??

    If we're in a war, then let's handle it like a war, if we're going to Kinda-Sorta-Go-To-War, then just stay the f*ck home.

    I get that a war on terror is different than a straight up ground war, but seriously, what the kitten??

    Anyone who can enlighten me, feel free.

    If true, Sergeant Bergdahl needs to turn up in friendly hands toot-sweet.

    My sentiments exactly. Especially when you look at the amount of lives and money that were expended to catch some of these kitten-bags.

    Maybe they are doing and exchange type deal for this guy:http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/20/us/pow...-taliban-talks

    Tried to do some due diligence, but I only found it in a few off-color places.

    He'll send them to Mexico, and when they commit crimes there he'll use it as proof that Gitmo was evil. And it was George Bush's fault.

    Well it's a good thing we traded Taliban leaders and negotiated with terrorists to free him from captivity.
