Re: Obama Releases 4 Gitmo Detainees Into Afghanistan: Closing is National Imperative
First off, he promised to CLOSE Gitmo. He's doing it.
They don't care.
I suspect the goal is to get it all wrapped up before the 2016 so Republicans have nothing to shoot at.
Obama never has been about what is, but what he can make it appear to be. There was no resolution in Iraq when he pulled out, and we know the local government wanted troops to stay.
My concern is not the Afghan government as it has never ruled Afghanistan, but what's shaping up to fill the void, especially since Obama has again been so kind as to tell them exactly he intends to to.
Well AQ is already back there.....and as you can see from the one link. The Taliban have a revived insurgency operating throughout the country.
