Reuters: Obama Considers Releasing Top Taliban Detainee From Gitmo To Jump Start Peace Talks…
Nuts.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) — The Obama administration is considering transferring to Afghan custody a senior Taliban official suspected of major human rights abuses as part of a long-shot bid to improve the prospects of a peace deal in Afghanistan, Reuters has learned.
The potential hand-over of Mohammed Fazl, a ‘high-risk detainee’ held at the Guantanamo Bay military prison since early 2002, has set off alarms on Capitol Hill and among some U.S. intelligence officials.
As a senior commander of the Taliban army, Fazl is alleged to be responsible for the killing of thousands of Afghanistan’s minority Shi’ite Muslims between 1998 and 2001.
According to U.S. military documents made public by WikiLeaks, he was also on the scene of a November 2001 prison riot that killed CIA operative Johnny Micheal Spann, the first American who died in combat in the Afghan war. There is no evidence, however, that Fazl played any direct role in Spann’s death.
Senior U.S. officials have said their 10-month-long effort to set up substantive negotiations between the weak government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the Taliban has reached a make-or-break moment. Reuters reported earlier this month that they are proposing an exchange of “confidence-building measures,” including the transfer of five detainees from Guantanamo and the establishment of a Taliban office outside of Afghanistan.
Now Reuters has learned from U.S. government sources the identity of one of the five detainees in question.

The O-hole is so goddamn stupid it’s unbelievable
Legendary stupidity.
You only catch and release fish and that isn’t a good idea. suggest we shoot them instead.
Obama is making a mockery of our military and the wars they have been fighting and dying in for the last 10 years. He is the saddest excuse for an “American” I’ve every seen. God bless our military and know that I appreciate you.
Nucking Futs!!!!!!!
put holder and the illegal muzzie POTUS in gitmo and let them talk all they want.
Oh don’t worry, he’s the big bad terrorist hunter. Just ask him.
If something happens, he’ll just jump on AF 1 and go slay him.
And that’s after a round of golf and shopping for a new $4000.00 sundress for the Wookie.
Release?
Sure, if “release” is defined as thrown out the back of a Herc at 20,000 feet, calculated to land right on Mullah Fuckwad’s coffee table, sure thing
Otherwise, are you fucking insane?
put an RFI tag on him so we can HELLFIRE him later.

Nadal Hassan nodding approvals.
“transferring to Afghan custody a senior Taliban official suspected of major human rights abuses as part of a long-shot bid to improve the prospects of a peace deal in Afghanistan, Reuters has learned.”
And then follow that up with removing all the rest of USA & allied troops. Then leave the overnumbered chinese bachelors to go to Afghanistan they can sort it all out together.
Why just release this terrorist – why not make him an honorary general in the US Army, with equal powers, just to show how non-racist and non-judgemental the US can be?
Just releasing him isn’t appeasing enough, is it.
oh really?
and does the Pentagon and the Department of Defense and the Secretary of the State know about this?
Does our Military know about this one?
Really?
i must be in mecca or someplace.
Hey, what the hell: they tell us what they want; we tell them what we want–and we go from there….
That’s the way a community organizer would handle Taliban.
“…part of a long-shot bid to improve the prospects of a peace deal in Afghanistan…”

oh and did ya hear that Cheetah died again?
just like Osama Bin Laden.
Kim Jung Bho just hates America. Can’t wait to see him voted out next year.
Starting the game off by offering concessions is an idiotic way to win peace. All it shows is weakness, next thing they’ll offer is a nuclear weapon. Stupidity compounded by idiocy would make a good motto for this administration.

Why doesn’t Obama give the Taliban one of his daughters, the younger one, and make a marriage alliance like in the old days?
Probably because the younger one is an old hag by their standards and they would take it as a great insult:

all that just for a flag?
The grim truth is that all of Obuttma’s, Hillary’s and the commiecrats appeasement of the Islamic savages is going to end in a world wide blood bath and will also lead to the deaths of tens of millions of American lives. Even if this gay communist shitstain of a president is hustled out of office in 2012 the awful damage will have been done and it will be too late to stop the world wide blood bath.
Too bad the death toll won’t be limited to the commiecrats and the pieces of crap who voted him into office, instead once again the true American patriots will shoulder the burden of defending and rescuing our country.
I believe all this “smart power” (aka appeasement ) is eventually setting up the world for a catastrophe of global proportions.
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth are gathered together against it. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,” declares the LORD. “I will keep a watchful eye over the house of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. Zechariah 12: 2-4
When people are saying, “Everything is peaceful and secure,” then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape. I Thessalonians 5:3
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Revelations 6:8
Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and it dried up so that the kings from the east could march their armies toward the west without hindrance. And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. Rev. 16:13-14
Reuters reported earlier this month that they are proposing an exchange of “confidence-building measures,” including the transfer of five detainees from Guantanamo and the establishment of a Taliban office outside of Afghanistan.
=============================================
“confidence-building measures,” would be laughable… if it wasn’t so naive
this isn’t a company retreat, testing co-workers skills and abilities…
this is real life islam… where weakness is viewed as a fatal flaw
and punishable by death..
these amateur political pussies are playing life and death games
with islamists who have nothing to lose
letting this islamist go will undoubtedly undue everything
the troops have tried to do… to restore some order to everyday life
The campaign ads against Zero just write themselves.
Hey Obama SCREW YOUR PEACE TALKS FILTHY TRAITOR

Fazl “was associated with terrorist groups currently opposing U.S. and Coalition forces including al Qaeda, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin (HIG), and an Anti-Coalition Militia group known as Harakat-i-Inqilab-i-Islami.”
Fazl had “operational associations with significant al Qaeda and other extremist personnel,” according to JTF-GTMO. One of the high-ranking al Qaeda commanders Fazl long cooperated with was Abdel Hadi al Iraqi, who led Osama bin Laden’s Arab 055 Brigade in the Taliban’s Afghanistan. The 055 Brigade was bin Laden’s chief fighting force and served alongside Taliban units.
“If released,” JTF-GTMO warned in the February 2008 memo, Fazl “would likely rejoin the Taliban and establish ties with [Anti-Coalition Militia] elements participating in hostilities against U.S. and Coalition forces in Afghanistan.”

A leaked State Department cable underscores the difficulties that both the Bush and Obama administrations have had in transferring war on terror detainees to Afghan custody. The cable, which originated at the US Embassy in Kabul on Aug. 6, 2009, notes that on “numerous occasions” American officials “have emphasized with Attorney General Aloko the need to end interventions by him and President Karzai, who both authorize the release of detainees pre-trial and allow dangerous individuals to go free or re-enter the battlefield without ever facing an Afghan court.”
The cable makes it clear that this is a problem with respect to several categories of detainees: those transferred from the American-run facility in Bagram to Afghan custody; those transferred from Guantanamo to Afghan custody; and narco-traffickers. When the Afghan government accepts transferred detainees, it is supposed to take certain security precautions. In some cases, the US government expects the Afghans to try them in their courts. It often doesn’t work out that way, however.
The leaked State Department cable cites dozens of pre-trial releases that the US government found problematic.
Top Taliban commanders, such as Mullah Zakir, have been released from Afghan custody after being transferred from Guantanamo. Zakir is the Quetta Shura Taliban’s top military commander.
There is no reason to think that the situation would be different with any of the four Taliban commanders discussed above. If they are among the Guantanamo detainees the Obama administration is considering repatriating, then the Taliban may very well replenish its leadership ranks as part of this “peace” effort.
I would make sure he get’s home safely.
All wee Mohammed Fazl has to do is sit in a room with an AK-47 watching video’s of Obama being “Gutsy” and “Spiking the Ball” about his fearless taking out of Osama bin Laden.
Then Obama can enter the room and bid his brother farewell………..
In order to have negotiations, trades or other deals, both sides have to be rational in the application of logic.
That makes any deal with the taliban a non-starter… At least for those of us who think rationally.
This has to be the most corrupt, incompetent and dumbest administration in my 72 years on the planet!
Are we going to stop this Comrade In Chief or what!?!?
Any questions about where Obama’s loyalties are?
He is a Muslim terrorist, through and through.
So we expended how many American lives and untold billions so they could revert to a jihadi stronghold. Nice job assholes.
Did O’dickweed come up with this plan while on his prayer rug next to Holder? How can such an anti-American remain in such a position of authority? Time for everybody to get out this bumper sticker…

not to be outdone, Eric Holder will give the muzzy free automatic weapons
Why do we need to have peace talks with the Taliban? Biden says they are not the enemy.
Stupid is as stupid does.
the terrorist lives in the white house
Keep in mind, this President is the one that has capture or killed more high-level Taliban/Al Quaeda operatives in covert operations than any other administration,
Keep in mind, this President is the one that has capture or killed more high-level Taliban/Al Quaeda operatives
==========================
wishful thinking… fanboy
but he has released them all…
Releasing these monsters will embolden the the muzz enemy and ‘prove’ to them that allah is working miracles for their righteous cause of terror.
This is how you lose a war.
What a travesty and injustice to everything we’ve been fighting to accomplish.
Meanwhile the MSM, ABC in particular, made sure not to mention this morning that the ‘Santa, killer in Texas was by a muslim and was an “honor-killing” as his daughter was dating a non-muzzie.
*Stay on top of this folks, we must elect Newt in 2012!!!
What about our man from IDAHO??????

O’ is appeasing and negotiating with terrorist behind closed doors and he wants to deal with the moderate Taliban Leaders (is there such a thing) wonder how this will work out for A-stan. He is going to throw in the towel for the sake of his re-election. Good luck Afghans your respite from the Taliban government maybe over.
