Releasing these top Taliban terrorists in secrecy without a whisper to the Congress was a reckless move on the part of the administration and the country will be paying the consequences for a long time to come. This was a gift from Allah to the Taliban and they have every right to be celebrating on the streets and shouting victory because they scored a huge gain. I won't go into the details of the American soldier now because enough has been written about him and his situation is murky at best, but this will prove to be Mr. Obama's biggest mistake in a shaky administration that so far has not delivered any of the advantages it promised. This goes beyond politics, beyond Democrats against Republicans, this is a matter of distinguishing right from wrong, recklessness versus caution. If the American soldier with dubious beliefs and even more dubious moves was so precious and valuable, why didn't he just empty the whole Guantanamo jail in his exchange? Perhaps he was worth all the prisoners in Guantanamo, don't you think? Maybe releasing the most dangerous terrorists in the world wasn't enough. People should turn to love of country and realize that we gave the Taliban ammunition to attack us again. Comparing Israel's policy of exchanging 1,000 prisoners for one doesn't cut it Mr. President. We're not Israel and Israel did not suffered the biggest attack ever, we did. The absurd precautions that these five evil men will be watched is laughable. They are free as birds right now and already plotting evil, because that's what they live for, breathe for and nothing or no country will deter them. In self defense some of the democrats who approve of this incredible decision are saying that Mr. Bush released 1,000 prisoners, but didn't Mr. Obama rise to power by crucifying Bush and his policies? Is Mr. Obama finding out just now, so late in the game and in the second term of his administration that it's a lot more complicated than he thought it was going to be? At least Mr. Bush had full congress approval, he didn't act on his own, flaunting his executive powers like Mr. Obama, so with this astonishing decision he has actually made our beloved country more vulnerable and prone to attack. Whatever happens now in the near future (because unfortunately I don't think it will take too long) will be on his shoulders and on his legacy.
