The United States has for several years been secretly releasing high-level detainees from a military prison in Afghanistan as part of negotiations with insurgent groups, a bold effort to quell violence but one that U.S. officials acknowledge poses substantial risks.

Nobody can be this stupid.
This is just another element in Obama’s fixation on the destruction of America.
The compost says “several years.” Did Bush do this? Or are they saying it to suggest Bush did it and give cover to Obama?
How is that working out for them?
Why are our troops still over there?

More than 80% of the IEDs are homemade explosives using calcium ammonium nitrate fertilizer produced in Pakistan, said Navy Capt. Douglas Borrebach, deputy director for resources and requirements at the Pentagon’s Joint IED Defeat Organization.
...Sen. Robert Casey, D-Pa., met with top civilian and military leaders in Pakistan in August to urge them to stop the flow of bomb-making materials into Afghanistan. They promised to help, but did not reveal a sense of urgency, Casey told USA TODAY after the trip.

The number of U.S. soldiers who have suffered amputations in Afghanistan has increased sharply over last year as more troops move into Taliban territory, according to Army data.
...The chief cause of the injuries are improvised explosive devices — or IEDs — that are planted in the ground or along roads, according to the International Security Assistance Force, which oversees military operations in Afghanistan.

The number of improvised explosive devices that were cleared or detonated rose to 16,554 from 15,225, an increase of 9%, according to data obtained by USA TODAY. In 2009, total IED “events,” as they are known, came to 9,304.
Insurgent reliance on IEDs as their No. 1 weapon meant a rise in concussions and severe wounds to U.S. servicemembers who have been operating on foot to root out Taliban fighters in remote areas.
You know this is going to bite us in the a$$.
Well done Obama, you effed up the economy and now you effed up the WOT. You have earned the title President Dumb@$$. I congratulate you.
I'm suspicious of that wording. I wouldn't be surprised if the "journalist" wrote it that way to make it sound like this program was put in place by Bush. Yet it could have been done under Obama's watch, going back two or three YEARS.
Ugh.
I bet they are quaking in their boots, thinking about that.
I believe that passes for "offering aid and comfort to the enemy."
He has a death wish.
When reading this psychotic thinking, I just couldn't help but think, "What would Patton and Reagan think of this?" . . It's as if Obama is inviting the Taliban to attack. .
Yet it’s true that Bush did release terrorists from Gitmo who went on to work in Al Queda cells and plot terrorist attacks. The idea that our current Great Leader would still be doing this after we already know detainee releases failed under Bush is disgusting and a disgrace.

You are right.
Are these really pledges or are they absentee voter applications?
BTTT.
