Obama To Transfer Gitmo Detainees to Taliban Custody?

From the OP's article:

As part of the accelerating, high-stakes diplomacy, Reuters has learned, the United States is considering the transfer of an unspecified number of Taliban prisoners from the Guantanamo Bay military prison into Afghan government custody.

Now this is what's truly funny. The current Afghan government is the SAME one that Bush and the Republicans put in place after they let Bin Laden go.

That's also the same government thats going to pardon these folks when they get back to Afghanistan, take a bribe from the Taliban to release them, or just be incompetent and the Taliban will break them out of the Afghan governments custody, its happened before.

Gee, an incompetent Republican party creating an incompetent government overseas. Who would have thunk it?

This makes it quite clear that Obama will do ANYTHING to appease his base in hopes of being reelected. Selling American lives for votes essentially.

Obama took out Qaddafi without the loss of a single American life.

Bush and the Republicans threw away young American lived in Iraq like they were used tissue paper. Don't see how you're proud of that, but it seems you are.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush!

Stay on topic fucktard. This is I big deal. Obama will end his presidency guaranteed with this move if its true. Risk Americans to appease scum like you.

So, we should have kissed Germany's butt after world war one and said.. don't do that again"... sure thing dummies.

Do you do the slightest bit of research before jumping into these threads? You have any idea what the root cause of WWI, actually was? Good..because it would be illuminating to many historians. WWI was one of the most convoluted wars ever fought. And it became a "World War" as the result of many secret alliances. Yellow dog journalism in the United States had Americans believing that Germans were actually Asian "Huns" spearing children with bayonents. You could actually point to events like the "Zimmerman Letter" or "The Sinking of the Lusitania" as possible root causes for the US entrance into the war..but really? Both were pretty weak.

So, we pull out of Iraq completely. We basically give Iran a top secrete drone. Then we get kicked out of Pakistan. Then we draw down troops in Afghanistan. And finally we send the worst of the worst home.

Who's side is Obama working for again?

Everything you have listed here saves us money. We are broke, remember? Why is saving money NOT a good thing?

The reason things keep going back to Buuuuuuuush and the REEEEEEEpublicans is because all those disasters started with them. Worse, they don't have any solutions unless you can call "plans to make it worse" a solution. And worst of all, they want to stop anyone who really does have a plan to make it better.

The President should have all options available on the table in negotiating. That said, he better have a damn good reason before he releases them.

He will make up a false reason as he always does with anything. And idiots will believe the lying bastard.

How long should we hold these guys? Alot of them haven't done anything. And those that have, can't really be tried because much of the information was gleaned as a result of torture. So we've got a really expensive prison with people that can't be tried. So, the choices become summary execution, holding them for life, or releasing them back to their own people.

This is a clusterfuck created by conservatives. Afghanistan should have been over in weeks.

I wouldn't turn them over until our last troops are leaving Afghanistan, lifes hard enough for our troops without us releasing more enemy combatants back into the field to shoot at them.

Well yeah..of course.

By your reasoning we should release Manson, random murderers and rapists. It would save money after all. Course its hard to enjoy the savings WHEN YOUR DEAD.

Why are you comparing these Gitmo "detainees" to Manson, murderers and rapists? Have they been tried and convicted of such offenses?

 

[skookerasbil]

This is good news if you're a conservative. Desperate to get out his base in November, even more independents will flee. Its all good.....sets up the debates for a chip shot field goal for the GOP nominee FTMFW!! A move like this only gets support from the nutters.

You're right. Fuck it. Release KSM and rent him a room in your house.

The Treaty of Versaille remains one of the biggest reasons for WWII.

That is one of Woodrow Wilson's biggest, of many, blunders. The fact is there are a number of things the US and especially the Brits could have dont to avoid war WW2.

Pride and a lack of forgiveness caused WW2. And it may cause WW3 someday too.

I wouldn't call it Wilson's blunder, as I don't believe he was in favor of heavy-handed reparations, but had to acquiesce to his allies or possibly lose his pet project, The League of Nations.

yeah. The peace process was irrelevant to him. The US gave it's word to the German people that it would be a fair deal. And he broke our word. Not to mention letting thousands of Germans starve while this took place.

Unfortunately, Democrats are creating an incompetent government here at home.

(If true, total complete meshugenah! The man is totally insane and wholly oblivious to history. Apparently this would be the icing on the cake for Obama, after cutting and running from Iraq, transferring the Gitmo detainees to Taliban custody is promises kept.
This is exactly why after WWII ended, the Allies insisted on the Nuremburg trials, because when WWI ended the Western Allies left the handling of the German War Crimes to the Weimar Republic, and the Weimar Republic simply didn't. The world got WWII instead.
Obama has to go, NOW! Don't worry Obamabots, MTV, VH1 and Nickolodian will still support him despite the sound of many more jetliners crashing into major American structures)

"Reuters— After 10 months of secret dialogue with Afghanistan’s Taliban insurgents, senior U.S. officials say the talks have reached a critical juncture and they will soon know whether a breakthrough is possible, leading to peace talks whose ultimate goal is to end the Afghan war.

As part of the accelerating, high-stakes diplomacy, Reuters has learned, the United States is considering the transfer of an unspecified number of Taliban prisoners from the Guantanamo Bay military prison into Afghan government custody.

It has asked representatives of the Taliban to match that confidence-building measure with some of their own. Those could include a denunciation of international terrorism and a public willingness to enter formal political talks with the government headed by Afghan President Hamid Karzai."

That was under Bush, and he was warned that it was going to happen.
