#1 The White House is considering sending suspected militants currently held at Guantanamo back to Afghanistan in a bid to kickstart stalled talks with the Taliban, it has been reported.
Because that process has worked so well in getting the Israelis peace. Of course the same 'halt the bombing' gambit worked just as well too in Vietnam. YJCMTSU

#2 TheTaliban has demanded release of all the Guantanamo detainees as a condition for talks.
Traditional ME negotiating tactic of "give me everything I want and we can talk"
Officials briefed on the discussions said the men would have to agree not to return to fighting, forswear any ties to al-Qaida, and submit to a ban on their travel.
A genius plan! Because men who would commit murder, rape and arson would never stoop to lying to the infidel.

Translation: 'Just in time delivery' of campaign promises, in no particular chronological order:
1. GITMO closes.
2. Obamacare upheld.
3. War in Afghanistan ended.
4. Osama Bin Laden dead.
5. Immigration reform initiated. 6. Taxes will not go up one dime.

#5 Maybe Judge Roberts can write up surrender papers that make it sound like we won the war.

#6 It represents a leap of faith on the US side t
Hell no! That represents a prat-fall of stupidity! About what I expect from the traitor in chief.

IOW: We can't kill them, and they're no more dangerous than any other militant out there if they're carrying a rifle, which is about the most they are going to do anyway.
Why not give them back so we can shoot their a$$es legally when they pop back up on the battlefield?

#8 Personally I'm for flying them back. Just nobody said anything about providing a landing...or, you know, have the plane carrying them blow up after the pilots jump out. That works in movies, about Obama's level of intellect.

#10 gorb, good plan, as long as one implants a locating transponder before releasing.
Charles, that sounds like a workable plan too.

#12 Even if we don't implant radio chips, just announce that we did - with secret new Jooooo technology.
That should make the releasees poison - no one will want to be around them, in case the chips attract unwanted Hellfires.

#13 Oooo, I like that. But say it's Nano-tech that self-replicates in the blood or some paranoid BS that will get them going through a Litany of third-world procedures on top of being alone.

#14 To be put into a Yemeni prison, surrounded Saudi style, so that they can promptly escape...
Then shoot 'em!
