Gotta hand it to obama. he’s managed to elevate the taliban to near-nation status.

[knarf]

Of course they have it correct ...

ONE US Marine for five of their pukes.

Since the Tolly-Bahn is a close ally now, Barry and Slow-Joe will probably engineer the swap under the watchful eye of the prisoners’ prior defense counsel (allegedly), the current AG.

[molson209]

Is this the TallyBands idea or is it Obamas ?

Isn’t this the ARMY SGT that went AWOL? Why would we want him back?

[molson209]

This is typical Obama , this story is news for like 2 days and already a disaster

[stylin19a]

um..has the Taliban just indicted their own ?

[The_Reader_David]

One would hope our negotiators would ask them why they value their own men so poorly that they think five of theirs is a fair exchange for one of ours, and make a counter-offer of a one-for-one exchange.

[FoxInSocks]

Shaheen says “first has to be the release of detainees,” and after that, the Taliban “want to build bridges of confidence.”

They got that right: this administration does not believe in building walls or bridges before conferring amnesty.

Isn’t there an Air Force pilot missing and presumed a POW?

[Stephanie32]

I hope people realize that if we give into this, the enemy will be kidnapping a lot more of our soldiers.

[Madam Theophilus]

Let’s put a face and a name on the Taliban POW. While the Taliban offer is bad; there are family who have been earnestly contending for his release for four years.

Then: "I want the American people to understand," he (Obama) announced in March 2009. "We have a clear and focused goal: to disrupt, dismantle and defeat Al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan." He ordered another 21,000 troops to Kabul, the largest increase since the war began in 2001. Taking the advice of both the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he also fired Gen. David McKiernan – then the U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan – and replaced him with a man he didn't know and had met only briefly: Gen. Stanley McChrystal.

Now: The Afghan Taliban say they are ready to hand over a U.S. soldier held captive since 2009 in exchange for five of their senior operatives being held at the Guantanamo Bay prison.

McChrystal was abused by a reporter telling lies and with the Obama KneeJerk, fired. Seems the Taliban has gained the upper hand since that dumb decision to fire a brilliant soldier for personal reasons.

[Mr. K]

wait.... how the hell can they be holding an american prisoner for 4 years and this NOT BE DAILY NEWS 24/7 AS IT WOULD BE FOR BUSH?!?!?!?!

Implant GPS tracking transmitters in their arms and legs, deep enough that they can’t be dug out with a pocket knife, and then make the switch. Then let the unmanned aerial drones do the rest.
