There has never been any serious dispute of the case that this would be a key step towards ending the war.

Of course not. Releasing the enemy's top five commanders is a sure step toward ending the conflict.

Idiot.

I recall the name Naiman and not in a positive way. Besides sounding insane, he’s also wrong.

The Bergdahl backstabbing maneuver will NOT end the war. The war will continue even when the last US soldier has left Afghanistan, just as the war in Iraq continues today, two years after our last troops came out.

Naiman, in his arrogance, forgets that there are a lot of Afghani parties to this war, with the US being only one, but one of the most important groups.

There is, or was, the Northern Alliance, which may still resist the Taliban, there are small ethnic groups, the organized Afghan govt (so to speak), various war lords, drug lords, overlords, Al Qaeda, the Haqqanni Network, etc.

Look at Syria today. Lebanon today. Yemen today. Somalia today.

Obviously Naiman has never looked at a map and a newspaper at the same time.

Nigeria - remember Biafra? Today it is Biafra II, with the Christians being the new target of extermination.

The Congo. Pick a group - Katanga, Tshombe, Lumumba, the Belgians. Just change the names of those fighting there today and you have the same old, same old.

The wars there have not ended even after 45 years.

Burma: Ethno-religious wars/cleansing still exist as some of the smaller politico groups do. Anyone know if the White Flags and Red Flags are still fighting there? The Kachins?

As Jerry Seinfeld would say, “NAIMAN, you’r a leftist schmuck”.

If we can get enough Democrats to #StandWithReid, we can close the prison and end the war.

You don't end the war with Allah , you dumb Infidel. -Tom

Robert Naiman writes on U.S. foreign policy at Huffington Post. He is president of the board of Truthout, and is on the Steering Committee of Gaza's Ark, a project to bring a boat out of Gaza filled with Palestinian exports in defiance of the blockade.

Ever want to understand why the West is a state of decline? All you have to do is realize that this is the type of “thinking” that lies at the core of the neo pagan Left. Unfortunately it has come to dominate America.

Oh Lord. I submit the video of exultant Taliban and the resulting propaganda statements. I see no reason to believe that a corrupt, jihadist terror organization would see this as a reasonable olive branch and agree to lay down their arms.

Strong horse.

I rest my case.

Oh, NOW I remember his name. I used to subscribe to TruthOut, just to see how nuts they were. I couldn’t take it anymore and unsubscribed.

It's been known for years that a key step towards ending the war would be exchanging five Taliban prisoners of war at Guantanamo for the release of Sgt. Bergdahl.

That the Army, CIA and even Obama's State Department fought against because it was a stupid idea. Embrace the stupid.

And he is a liberal idiot, with oak leaf clusters.

He might last longer than we think inside the Taliban as a gay Jew. He “is” a useful idiot, but he would remain alive only as long as he kept his mouth shut.

In other words, he would be-headed for destruction.

This war has been going on for almost 1400 years -- thru Poitiers the Crusades, Constantinople, Vienna, the Khartoum, etc.

Regrettably, it won't be over until one side exterminates the other. It's time for the West to recognize this.
