PESHAWAR, Pakistan - One of the five Taliban leaders freed from Guantanamo Bay in return for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's release has pledged to return to fight Americans in Afghanistan, according to a fellow militant and a relative.

"After arriving in Qatar, Noorullah Noori kept insisting he would go to Afghanistan and fight American forces there,” a Taliban commander told NBC News via telephone from Afghanistan.

Noori pushed to return to Afghanistan after learning that the U.S. had provided written assurances that no country would arrest any of the five freed for a year as long as they lived peacefully, one of his relatives told NBC News by telephone from Afghanistan.

Obama meanwhile.

Quote:
 
On criticism of the deal, the president pointed out that the war in Afghanistan is ending, and that, by definition, “you don’t do prisoner exchanges with your friends, you do ’em with your enemies.”

“It’s also important for us to recognize that the transition process of ending a war is gonna involve, on occasion, releasing folks who we may not trust but we can’t convict,” Obama said.

He concluded: “This is something that I would do again, and I will continue to do wherever I have an opportunity, if I have a member of our military who’s in captivity. We’re gonna try to get ’em out.”

Is Obama going to release some leaders of the Mexican drug cartel in order to get our Marine back, or is he only going to release dangerous members of the Taliban in order to get soldiers, who profess sympathy with the Taliban and desert their post multiple times, back?

Why do they keep harping that it's alright to release those 5 because the war is ending. Have they forgotten that we were not at war when the World Trade Center and Pentagon were hit? I cannot believe that they are so naive that they believe just because they are picking up their ball and bat and heading home the Taliban is not still going to throw balls at us, so I have to wonder just what Obama and his Merry Men are up to. The conclusions I come to are not pleasant.
