i think Obama made the right call on this one, even though he had made a bad call to even think about releasing them
clearly either he finally saw them and knew it would be better not to release them, or someone close to him did
hopefully he is maturing and is finally taking responsibility for being the CIC...and realizes that hey, what really is the purpose of this, it is going to get our troops killed more than likely and really, releasing them is just political meadowmuffins...
Nah, either some poll they looked at said his original decision was "bad" OR he found out something that would slap him in the face later down the road. He didn't do it for the "troops". If that were true the democrats wouldn't have been undermining them for the last several years.
as i said....he is now the CIC and perhaps he sees things different, not a dem senator or congressman, but the commander in charge of the finest military in the world....and he might just view the troops a little different now being the CIC.
