Because we are trying to play nicey-nice with people who want to destroy us.
The enemy is laughing at our weakness and the current admin will never admit it's not working.

If this was WW II these morons would release any captured Kamikazi pilots back to serve the Emperor.

It is a foolish question as the answer is obvious. Since Obama , we have become the largest muslim nation. Those jihadis? Are no longer terrorists.... there no longer is a war on terror BECAUSE.... they are freedom fighters. That is why we sent the Palestinians 192 million. That is why there was a Arab spring. That is why Nato troops were involved in overthrowing Libya.
Glad I should mention Libya. These people are now our allies.

Our old Allies? The free industrialized west AKA G7? The thing that made all great inventions and the world its progressive state? Thrown under the bus by our fearless (and west bitter) leader. Allah Akbar!

Only one problem, the west fought and established its freedoms rights and liberties long ago. It was even codified by the Magna Carta. Obama needs to learn this.

FUBO

Make more sense if we did what they did in Argentina:

An Argentinian former naval officer who threw prisoners, drugged and naked, to their death from planes was convicted of crimes against humanity and jailed for a total of 640 years by a Spanish court yesterday for his part in the “dirty war” against dissidents conducted by the Argentinian military regime in the 1970s.

Captain Adolfo Scilingo killed 30 leftwing prisoners, who were thrown out at 4,000 metres (13,000ft) above the Atlantic, on two flights.

I know you were being facetious. We both know Libya has never been, nor shall it ever be, our ally. Along with Pakistan. And Amen to the rest of your post.

In my opinion there is no doubt as to who Obama stands with! It is the enemy of America! And yes, this administration has been releasing known terrorists while our own heroes like Michael Behenna remain in Leavenworth for doing their job....defending Americans and freedom loving people and killing Islamic terrorists!

Another reason why we, who know and love Congressman Allen West, hope the Republican President in November will call on Allen West to be our Secretary of Defense!

In case you haven’t guessed by now, the Teliban and Democrat Party are on theame side and have the same goals. To wit: The destruction of the United States and then Israel. And thanks to the American voters, they are accomplishing both goals.

Of course, you are right! Remember Obama's words?

"If the winds of change blow in the wrong direction, I will stand with the Muslims!"

... we can’t forget this quote from Obama’s book Audacity of Hope

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

The idiot never thought it through. So you collapse the America and the free industrialized world, plunder the ruins and then what?

WHAT has islam ever done for modern man? Not one invention. All the free industrialized world AKA G7 “business” is the product of Christianity.

His goal is to take the world into Chaos ////and that is all that will be left.

ANd this idiot is in OUR White House? WTF is wrong with us???

What was he convicted of - wasting fuel by taking two flights when he could have done it in one(?)

Releasing so that we can lose and run out of there with Obama’s tail beneath our brave troops’ legs.
