Obama Administration Agrees To Release 4 Taliban Leaders

The Obama administration has tentatively agreed to release four Taliban leaders from Guantanamo prison and allow them to resettle in Afghanistan, Paul Sperry of the Hoover Institution wrote in the New York Post. Sperry, the author of the book “Infiltration,” said that Afghan President Hamid Karzai wants to free some top Taliban commanders who led deadly attacks on American troops when the United States invaded Afghanistan after 9/11. Among the prisoners are some of the “most dangerous detainees remaining at Gitmo,” and include a former Taliban deputy intelligence chief, former interior minister, defense chief and military commander, Sperry wrote. “Shockingly, the Obama administration has tentatively agreed to release the four suspected terrorists if Karzai can certify they no longer pose a threat,” he said. “They must disavow terrorism and any allegiance to al-Qaida.” Karzai claims his government obtained such assurances in a recent trip to Gitmo, according to Sperry. He noted that a recent intelligence report found that more than one in four of the 600 former Guantanamo detainees rejoined the jihad. The agreement comes as there appears to be rampant infiltration of Taliban insurgents in the Afghan national army and police, he wrote. The Obama administration agreed to the deals, according to Sperry, in order to help stabilize Afghanistan ahead of the 2014 withdrawal of troops. “They also help Obama fulfill his 2008 campaign pledge to empty and shutter Gitmo,” he wrote. “Antiwar activists among his base are upset he’s freed just 70 detainees, leaving 168. The White House last month confirmed the president still plans on closing the prison camp.”

Is Mr. Obama smarter than a 3rd grader?

It's essential that we drop this "Obama is stupid" stuff immediately.Osama Obama is a *very* intelligent guy.His superior intelligence (yes,I said "superior") is part of what makes him so dangerous.The problem with Osama is amorality,not stupidity.

I understand. However, I find Mr. Obama to be philosophically and ideologically ignorant/stupid. He knows what he wants to do and he has sufficient brain power to attempt to carry out his vision. That being said, he not brilliant. Evidence of a classical or well-rounded education is not to be found with him.

In the pop culture of today....he is only slightly above average.

Obama views the captured Taliban as freedom fighters. He secretly desires to be the leader of the Islamic caliphate. He would give these fighters the medal of freedom if he could. Make sire you bring your friends and relatives to the polls in November. We must stop This man child Obama.

It shouldn’t surprise me, after all he cut the US nuclear missles from 5000 to 1500, so we didn’t outrank the rest of the world.

This has got to be tied in with the DOJ hiring dwarfs and people with mental disorders. Anything to screw the incoming adnimistration - much like Clinton’s admin removing the W on all the computer keyboards, but on a larger scale.

Makes me wonder who this doofus is going to pardon before he departs next January. So glad the bastard only has SS protection for 10 years. Guaranteed the Dems will try to change it back to lifetime protection to save his sorry ass.

After they are released the navy should drop them off to visit the grave of Osama.
