More than 500 suspected Taliban fighters detained by U.S. forces have been released from custody at the urging of Afghan government officials, angering both American troops and some Afghans who oppose the policy on the grounds that many of those released return to the battlefield to kill NATO soldiers and Afghan civilians.

Everybody needs to get behind David Lawrence. DO IT PEOPLE.
“Lawrence, 20, is charged with premeditated murder for allegedly killing Taliban commander Mullah Mohebullah in his cell Oct. 17, hours after his capture.”
Karzai pitched a fit over this.
F*** Karzai and the whole country of F ganistan.

Catch and release? We are not troutfishing in restricted waters here, folks. Just tag ‘em and bag ‘em then, no prisoners.
I’m with you.
Thank you.
Lawrence, 20, is charged with premeditated murder for allegedly killing Taliban commander Mullah Mohebullah in his cell Oct. 17, hours after his capture.
the natural logic that follows this statement is that it should have read like this:
“Lawrence, 20, has been nominated for a medal for heroism for allegedly killing Mullah Mohebullah on the battle field, moments after making contact.”
Its like giving out speeding tickets at the indianapolis 500.
The defense called no witnesses at the Article 32. They didn’t know whom to call. They didn’t know what questions to ask. They weren’t ready. A real slam bam to appease Karzai.

Obamaville.......not a word from ears?
I think our soldiers in the field get this point clearly. They should be there to break things and kill people. Not kiss *sses and take names. If our soldiers risk themselves to take prisoners, you don’t turn the prisoners back over to the enemy unless you achieve a worthwhile objective by doing so (eg. tracking them back to their buddies so you can take out the whole steaming pile).
The liberal SOBs pulling the strings have other ideas. They think you can wage a selective war, and then your target will become your friend. Bullsh*t. Carrying on in this way is costing the lives of thousands of fine young soldiers. If liberal leadership doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to allow our soldiers to fight to win, perhaps the leadership should experience the environment first hand for an extended period.
If you need to start a war, then work toward finishing it as effectively and efficiently as possible. If you aren’t there to win the d*mn thing, don’t go in the first place or get the hell out. And releasing captured enemy so he can shoot at you again is not an effective means of winning.
This enemy will NEVER be your friend. Some elements of that society will appear to cooperate with you where they have to. They will gain some personal benefit, and some good intel in the process. They will steal from you, and stab you in the back the first chance they get. And when you ultimately get fed up and leave, they will return to what they have been doing for thousands of years.
Somebody needs to decide to either own the battlefield or leave it. Wandering aimlessly is killing the wrong people.
BTTT
Somebody from the Border Patrol must be in charge
Straight out of "Breaker Morant."
Hmm... This sounds like a “wink wink” message to our troops.
At least, the troops I know would tend to take the message that way.
Don’t bother with the “capture and detain” nonsense.
I’d say you a proved it very well that odumbi is without a doubt a moslum. Outstanding
This whole mideast gig was over the day we let them design their NEW CONSTITUTION, with the “NO LAW SHALL CONTRACDICT ISLAM” part in it.
When I saw that, I said why build up another country? So we can have another Saudi Arabia? or another Iran?. Shhhhhhhhite.
The ENEMY is among us! I’m convinced, the Arabs will take over the US! After the Pelosi, Reed and the White House bankrupts America!
GMTA...catchem in the sights and releas a bullet from its cartridge...
