#5 Obama’s Surrender of Afghanistan Continues Apace?
Great job on Obama’s ridiculous Afghanistan policy and attempt at negotiations with the Taliban. Just FYI: I’ve profiled the five Taliban commanders who the U.S. is reportedly considering repatriating, or transferring to a third country, to meet the Taliban’s demands. The key fact about the five is that they all have extensive al Qaeda ties. One of the Obama administration’s key goals with respect to talks with the Taliban is to get them to renounce al Qaeda.

At least 2 of the 5 are wanted for war crimes by the UN, by the way. The dossiers of these men do not inspire confidence that they are interested in peace, or could play any constructive role if freed.

#6 To #4 comment: Barbara my first guess would be that the Obama admin would be under the table.
