Former President Barack Obama didn’t listen to Pentagon officials when they told him Taliban mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa was too dangerous to release. Instead, he freed the group that came to be known as the ‘Gitmo five’ — Khairkhwa alongside four of his buddies — from the Guantanamo Bay prison in 2014 in exchange for a U.S. soldier who deserted his post.
Obama all but guaranteed that Khairkhwa and the four other men would be sent to Qatar, where their movements would be restricted and where they could do no harm. As it turns out, the Taliban isn’t as trustworthy as the former president thought.
Now, Khairkhwa has resurfaced as one of the masterminds behind the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
The Taliban leaders didn’t grow any fonder of America while they were locked up. After their release, the Taliban five made contact with active Taliban extremists in Afghanistan and vowed they would return to fight against America.
The Gitmo five were among the Taliban representatives negotiating for peace in Afghanistan, which eventually led to the U.S. withdrawing troops in the region. Khairkhwa has said in the past that the Taliban wouldn’t launch a military offensive if Biden withdrew troops from Afghanistan. Shockingly, it doesn’t appear that the Taliban has kept its word.
In 2001, Khairkhwa was accused of collaborating with Osama bin Laden, and was subsequently arrested. When Obama released him, Khairkhwa wasn’t shy about wanting to establish strict Islamic rule in Afghanistan — and that’s just what he’s doing.
The Obama-Biden administration was notoriously lax on their treatment of Gitmo prisoners. Former President Donald Trump tightened the reins during his time in office, but Biden has reinstated Obama’s policy of releasing dangerous prisoners.
There’s no telling what would’ve happened in Afghanistan had Khairkhwa and his cronies been left in prison — but it wasn’t hard to predict that a man with clear ties to infamous terrorists would return to extremism after prison.
Not ONE of our elected OR appointed stood for the Constitution and allowed an ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia to be sworn in directly violating the Constitution.

Trump and Pompeo released Afghanistan’s new President. Pompeo met with him. Plenty of fingers to point at them, too.
I don’t want spin. I want truth.
And Trump freed the guy who's currently positioned to lead the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Traded him off for that soldier guy ... whoever.
The truth is Obama was born with multiple nationalities no matter where he was born and is NOT a natural born citizen.
Natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizens because they have only ONE nationality and could not be anything else at birth because they were born here of citizen parents.
Well that makes 2 of us.
I’ve said it many times: Democrats are going to get us all killed.
Ah, Barky the Pederast.

Looks like some invitees to Obama’s birthday party.
He was a traitor not a soldier.
He grew up in a foreign country as a Muslim who hated America. He did not grown up saluting the flag, playing Little League, or eating hot dogs and celebrating fireworks on our nation’s birthday. What did people think was going to happen?
He never set foot on the mainland until he started college at Occidental as an Indonesian exchange student.
Those pictures are seared in my mind! (John ‘Effin Kerry)
When will Obama be brought to trial and imprisoned for the rest of his muslim loving life?
Ooops, my hateometer just pegged, good bye!
Obama=AntiAmerican Asshole
Biden=Obama Slave Puppet
