This week Washington officials announced five Taliban prisoners to be released from Guantanamo Bay and transported to Qatar. Even though the exact nature of the prisoner transfer hasn’t been announced it is most likely a good will gesture to encourage the Taliban into enter into peace negotiations. The five terrorists were selected by the Taliban leadership as a precondition to talks. Ignoring the objections of the military and intelligence experts Barack Obama is going ahead with the transfer the terrorists. According to Rep Mike Rogers (R-MI) the administration’s outreach to the Taliban is an act of “desperation.”

What will Qatar do?

According to The Cable, Senate leadership was notified of the prison transfer in a classified briefing. Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI), who attended the briefing wanted to know “what assurances we have from the [Qatari] government that they are not going to be released?” According to the Senator the Taliban are planning to open an office in Qatar. He believes that the Afghans had no say in the matter.

This White House occupant sent a strong massage to America’s allies saying: We can’t be trusted.

It's pretty easy to see that our enemies see Obama as a fluffy bunny "leader" and I predict they'll surrender to him, giving him a "victory in Afghanistan" to proclaim before the election. He'll order the troops home. He'll see to it that Club Gitmo is closed, freeing the terrorists, and that will show he kept his promise to his base. He'll be elected to a second term, at which point a newly invigorated Taliban will take over Afghanistan again, though the media won't cover it, and it there will be a wave of terrorism that dwarfs anything seen in history.
