Fantasy-based policymaking: Obama considering sending Taliban detainees back to Afghanistan, hoping they won't wage jihad against U.S. again

Suicidal naivete, or yet another Which Side Is He On Alert: "Obama administration considers turning Taliban detainees over to Afghanistan," from the Associated Press, June 29 (thanks to Wimpy):

The Obama administration is considering a new gambit to restart peace talks with the Taliban in Afghanistan that would send several Taliban detainees from the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to a prison in Afghanistan, U.S. and Afghan officials told The Associated Press.

Under the proposal, some Taliban fighters or affiliates captured in the early days of the 2001 U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and later sent to Guantanamo under the label of enemy combatants would be transferred out of full U.S. control but not released. It's a leap of faith on the U.S. side that the men will not become threats to U.S. forces once back on Afghan soil. But it is meant to show more moderate elements of the Taliban insurgency that the U.S. is still interested in cutting a deal for peace....

Buraq Hussein sure thinks that being a flying donkey of sorts for those black-cube worshippers will pay off, just as the original mythical Buraq was a flying donkey to the equally mythical Mahound.

Send those Taliban back will most likely only result in more dead US and NATO soldiers. Furthermore, the Taliban have already worked very hard to prove by their own actions that they are ruthlessthugs who have no honor. Just to the three examples out of many. It is the Taliban who who are so cruel that they poisoned girls schools Afghanistan, it is the Taliban who are so viscious and anit-female that they have even thrown acid into the faces of young girls in that country who were only trying to go to school. It was the Taliban who cut off the thumbs of men in Afghanistan who for just voting in an election in that country. Nevertheless in spite of the facts President Obama still feels that some kind of workable alliance between the Karzai goverment and the Taliban may be able to be worked out. How unrealistic!. In any so called "talks" the Taliban would be very disingenous and would also dissimulate. In other words the Talliban would keep their word in anything that they might promise only as long as it suits them and not longer. It would be a good idea for the people in the Karzai goverment to heed the wisdon of Sun Tzu in THE ART OF WAR. For this book teaches "We cannot enter into an allliance with neighboring princes until we are acquainted with their designs." To put this in a more updated and current way, it may be said that "We cannot enter inti an alliance with the Taliban until we are acquainted with their designs."
With the Taliban we all may be sure that their intentions are evil.

Like sending a pack of bad guilty foxes back to the fox who was left guarding the hen house. Pretty soon, you will have one really bad large pack of foxes again, "guarding" the hen house, just like what the islam tali's were doing, before invasion, training, executing women, destroying feared historic idols, with seeming impunity in Afghanistan, just like in Pakistan now.....(N.B. read islamics for foxes)

The evil of islam's creed is to behave like a pervasive infection of evil, it is the deceiving enemy, you don't trust a self sworn eternal enemy, ever. You find a way to get permanently rid of the evil enemy, not make deals with the devil!!!

Buraq just wants to sell his soul, he is uncomfortable, doesn't even know why, twisting like a worm about to be put on a hook....He knows nor cares nothing about governance, about war, about the truth of islam. He is uneducated in the important facts of life needed to be a President, let alone to be an exemplar President.


i still say that the guy WANTS a Civil war because he's like a neo Hoowdy Doody puppet for the MB thugs in the USA and the Global caliphate crusade to slaughter 6 billion of God's children as a favour to allah and the pedophile called Muhammad.

The recent visit to the White house by Gammat al-Islamiyya was for the express purpose of releasing terrorist prisoners, including Rahman.

Now that we have absolute rule of law, I'm sure they'll be released soon.

G-d save us if this man is reelected.

Does Hussein Obama believe that sending prisoners from the relative luxury of Guantabamo to some flea pit used as an Afghani prison, is actually a gesture of goodwill?

Oh well, I guess it could be viewed as a goodwill concession, on the understanding that once on Afghani turf they will either "escape" or be released to return to the front line.

Obama's coalition of Marxists and Islamists both foreign and domestic is determined to destroy the USA. Obama's personal agenda seems quite peculiar but it has a different target - manipulating various liberal groups to support his imperial presidency.
Obama supports homosexual rights, environmental activism and basically any cause that rallies the Democrat faithful to his side (which explains Jewish liberals and Hollywood types) because he knows they believe Islam "is just another religion" like Mormonism. In fact, many voters actually believe the Church of Latter Day Saints is WORSE than Islam.
And of course, Mitt Romney is a Mormon (but don't equate that with Harry Reid's Mormonism).
These issues are "far more important" than Islamic murder, Jihad and even the Constitution.
Then there is Obama's Healthcare Act and the Supreme Court ruling that it is a tax - which Obama insisted it was not, and still insists it is not a tax (just a penalty).
The GOP has announced it plans to challenge the Obama health care tax (which will cost billions) on July 11 of this year.
Anyways, back to Jihad. In a supposedly-democratic Republic, the voters get the final say but like any good old-fashioned dictator, I believe BHO has a team of hackers ready to guarantee a victory - and they are already going after states with voter ID laws (and have practically declared war on the State of Arizona) but hey, that's the Chicago way and not Jihad.

Postscript: I haven't forgotten Obama's plan to return Taliban terrorists to Afghanistan. It's just another outrage in a society that sends young soldiers to fight with their hands tied behind their back - and border patrol officers who are told to "run away and hide" when confronted with Mexican drug cartel terrorists armed with guns they may well have purchased from the Obama administration (which has the dual purpose of promoting the ban on the sale of assault weapons) which, let's face it, is bent on treason - and the ultimate destruction of the State of Israel.
Keep up the good work, Robert and Pam.
For some reason, the best defenders of liberty and freedom for all are marginalized, victimized and bullied by the "rainbow coalition" of Obama, Holder, et al.

Does *anyone* actually believe this crap at this point? One would think that even willful naïveté could only go so far...

Initially, the US denied that any such plan was in the works. Either it actually was, or else they acceded to it following Taliban pressure. In either case, ugly stuff...

Here's more stupidity on the "peace process" with the odious Taliban:

"Afghan Foes Sit Together in Kyoto"

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304830704577494680175851766.html

Looks like it's going to take a lot more fawning on the part of the West for the Taliban to even pretend to go through the motions. Why talks with the murderous Taliban are considered a good thing is never explained...

Notice how that "moderate" marker keeps getting moved? Now the Taliban—probably the most horrific Shari'ah regime of modern times, which is saying a great deal—is held to have a "moderate element" in their insurgency.

"Fantasy-based", indeed...
