If our men got the hell out of their country, these 5 wouldn't have a chance. I don't think they're hopping on a Delta flight to Atlanta anytime soon. And if these 5 weren't that dangerous before, I'd sure as shit think they are now, after being detained for over a decade. Heck, if I was their kid, who grew up without a father thanks to the detention, I'd be radicalized as a mofo and have an unbelievable amount of hatred for the US.We got ed.
This is just a shitty deal on so many levels, luckily there are 5 more of them out there loose, killing our men. We have just set a precedent that we will make the trade, with anyone.
#FAIL
Last I checked they werent US of A citizens.I do agree with berzirk. This unlimited detention is BS and not the way of the "land of the free."
That's the game you think the US should play? If you're not a US citizen we can do whatever we want to you? Enjoy being mailed pieces of POWs from abroad, rather than negotiate/hope for their eventual release.Last I checked they werent US of A citizens.
It amazes me how humankind forces themselves to care more about assigning a political belief, than what is right and wrong. I'm a registered Independent and have never voted for a Democratic candidate in my life. Wait...I might have voted for Ron Wyden one year. I can't remember. I don't think I did.It amazes me how you liberals care more about the rights of terrorists who hate Americans than actual Americans.
Are you seriously kidding? Did you really say "alleged" terrorists? They are Taliban fighters they are terrorists. Stop being afraid to call them what they are. And YOU need to try harder. If I am saying the rights don't matter for a foreign terrorist I would never support trading for a single American because this is the key part... HE WAS A DESERTER. That is treasonous and he should actually be sentenced to death. There was no draft so it wasn't like he was forced to go into the military.It amazes me how humankind forces themselves to care more about assigning a political belief, than what is right and wrong.

Try harder.
If you're representative of most Americans, then I'll be the first to admit, I hate Americans.
And actually, while I'm at it, let's break down your post logically. You're saying screw the (alleged) terrorists, their rights shouldn't matter compared to an American...so that means you should fully support trading (alleged) terrorists to free a single American, since that American is more valuable. What's the American to foreigner ratio in terms of human worth? I've got an idea that you would probably love, let's make (alleged) terrorists worth 3/5ths of a person! In America we've appreciated that number before.
No, I'm seriously serious. You're an alleged pedophile. There now since I said that, that means we can all choose to assume it's true or false. In the absence of knowledge, an accusation is all we need, right? Do we have video showing them fighting against soldiers...in their country...in their land...as an occupying force? Do we have proof they were really dangerous, naughty boys? Maybe. Maybe not. Show me the proof, then I'll drop alleged from the phrase...alleged pedophile.Are you seriously kidding?

And your America, land-of-the-free response to a guy who (allegedly) deserted his platoon is death? Wow, I think I hate Americans more and more after reading what you write. Let's see what other idiotic, xenophobic, patriotic drivel you can come up with in reply.
Hahaa!! That was awesome. Thanks for clarifying my political beliefs. Clearly I was confused until some keyboard warrior on a videogame website came in to educate me. I'll be sure to update my political affiliation the next time I think about voting.And call yourself an independent all you want, you are just a coward who won't admit you are a liberal. You don't impress me with your faux free thinking "I look at both sides" of the issue BS.
Wait a second, did slidecage and Knoell have a baby? It's you, isn't it? Come on, you can admit it. But you never answered my question. If American lives are so much more valuable than anyone else, then wouldn't it make you a traitorous, flag burning hater of freedom, if you didn't want to trade every Guantanamo detainee for the life of just one captive US soldier? I mean, bring our troops home wherever they are...unless they're in someone else's country killing them. Then I guess you support then being overseas.And if you need anymore evidence you are a liberal you take a topic and always somehow.. someway relate it back to race. I swear you guys are on the biggest guilt trip ever. Its like all the closeted racists are liberals because they have to constantly accuse other people of it before they are exposed.
Obama is a dangerous idiot. You'll get no argument from me. Bush made me personally less safe while he was in office. Obama has carried on those policies and expanded some, and as a result American's personal safety has never been worse in my lifetime. I think he's worth considering as one of the 10 worst presidents in US history. I admire the ever-living shit out of George Bush Sr, and I would put him in my top 15 presidents of all time.Oh btw... Obama himself just said yesterday that he himself admits he is putting American lives in danger by doing this swap. What an idiot.
So, what say you (alleged) pedophile?
This is a very very dangerous statement and ideology. I value my American citizenship very much and appreciate the US greatly but I value human life much more so than geographic or political barriers. I'm all for patriotism and good old US of A cheers but I think Benjamin Franklin said it best:Last I checked they werent US of A citizens.
The current and past few administrations have not upheld the belief that freedom is a natural right."Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature."
My freedom is more important than some un american towel headed camel jockey terrorist whose sole purpose in life is to kill innocent people of his own country and bring about the downfall of the rest of the non Muslim world, namely Murica.This is a very very dangerous statement and ideology.

Ah, I get it now, you are a bigoted cunt. Thanks for taking the mystery out of it (alleged) pedophile.My freedom is more important than some un american towel headed camel jockey terrorist whose sole purpose in life is to kill innocent people of his own country and bring about the downfall of the rest of the non Muslim world, namely Murica.

And I see your Benny Franklin quote and raise you an Alfred Pennyworth:
Alfred Pennyworth[background=#fcfae7]: Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.[/size][/background]
Nah, I aint racist so I dont use the N word.Quoted for posterity!
I guess calling someone a "sandn*gger" is too PC for you, eh?
Well, at least Obama hasn't thrown up on anyone...I originally voted for Obama in 2008 precisely because I thought he would be different from Bush in the foreign policy department. In the beginning, I liked that our image was being repaired somewhat.
Holy shit, it ended up being the complete opposite of what I expected.
Blatant troll bait, whose troll account is this, seriously?Nah, I aint racist so I dont use the N word.
Hows that troll bait? I answered the guys question.Blatant troll bait, whose troll account is this, seriously?
Probably to assist in drone targeting.Bet we put those dog tracking micro chips in those released
Bet we put those dog tracking micro chips in those released
No way. Obama let them off free and clear because they're Muslims aka "towel heads/camel jockeys(not racist because I don't use the n-word)" like he is.Probably to assist in drone targeting.
The tea party are terrorists?The government negotiates with terrorists all the time, how else would you describe Congressional inaction and the Tea Party caucus?

Because generally, the people saying they want to overthrow the government want to install their own huge, massive government.Not sure how wanting to overthrow the government is wrong if you think that government has gotten too big for its britches.
founding fathers did it once upon a time.
Alright, we've now established you are completely off the rails or a troll account.Not sure how wanting to overthrow the government is wrong if you think that government has gotten too big for its britches.

This is why liberals can't be taken seriously and why compromise just means "giving the liberals what they want".Okay, I'll take it back. Considering how the same people who are always thumping their chest for the second amendment always love to talk more than trash about the government in the same breath. And those examples above.
