On Thursday last week, Obama released the "Irbil Five" to Iran. It's difficult to fathom the wisdom of this move which further weakens our national security and the security of our armed forces fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The release of the Irbil Five, Laith Qazali, Binyam Mohammed, assorted Gitmo prisoners, the closing of Gitmo in general, all seem to me to be working against the security of America in the long run. Exactly how many of these thugs will be released before we have to pay the piper? What exactly does the Obama administration believe the Irbil Five will do once back in circulation in Iran?

There's a real pattern here and it scares the heck out of me. These releases combined with the constant apology tours, pointing out America as evil or guilty of numerous sins, weakens us in the eyes of the world.
