Q. When it comes to the release of five of the worst of the worst Gitmo detainees, what does Eugene Robinson know that the Pentagon doesn't know? A. That President Obama must be defended at all costs and in every circumstance.
How else to explain his mind-boggling claim on today's Morning Joe that the impact on the war of the release of five senior Taliban officials would likely be "negligble." Indeed, Robinson was only willing to put "senior" in skeptical air quotes. The WaPo columnist's claim sparked controlled outrage from Joe Scarborough, and energetic disagreement even from former Obama car czar Steve Rattner.

Symbolically, the impact will be huge.
These are hardened calloused individuals whose life careers have been murdering, raiding, raping and looting. What does he think? That they will become opium estate gardeners?
They are already chanting and praising Allah ~ Islam is victorious one more time!
The west will hurt due to their release. That is Obama’s intention and expectation.
Another propagandist/dick licker for the kenyan. No credibility on any subject.
If the 5 released are of no value or consequence,,why did the Taliban want THEM back as opposed to other prisoners?
Is Genie for real?
I don’t care if these 5 terrorists go back to their mud huts and drink iced tea in a rocking chair ‘til the end of their days.
The real problem is that the thousands of cutthroat Al Qaida and taliban fighters lurking in the mountains above American outposts now know that if they can capture an American serviceman alive they will be able to trade him for millions of $ and/or spring some more Gitmo prisoners.
And this clown won a Pulitzer?
“You’re disagreeing with me AND you’re criticizing President Obama!!?”
“YOU RACIST!!!!!!!!”
What else would one expect from this low life Obamabot. Gene, take a trip to Afghanistan and tell the women of Afghanistan they will be better off now that Obama has freed the Taliban murderering leadship, “Fabulous Five”. The women of Afghanistan will be retuned to servitude and and slavery....thanks to pro-Taliban, POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!!
You must be a “RACIST”.
The impact of Mr. Robinson’s remarks are likely ‘negligible’, since they were only heard by the 145 viewers of Morning Joe.
Badly paraphrasing Bill Buckley...there's gotta be a "noblesse oblige" in here, somewheres..
Sadly history will record that the first African-American President of the United States was a bizarre, incompetent ideologue who had numerous loyal supporters.
How many dead Americans in a “negligible?”
And what makes this guy an expert?, Oops, I just saw his picture....never mind.
Hey, Robinson, go to hell. The President is a treasonable piece of junk. He has, with the likes of you, killed America.
By the way all you junkies, miss Romney yet. None of this shi! would be happening. Still most of you don't get it yet.
How do you know what Romney would have done?
A: No.
Translation?
Setting up a five for one ratio is insane. What's next? 1500 BokaHaran prisoners for 300 Christian girls?
