Obama Continues To Suck Up to The Taliban

I don't know, but perhaps President Obama was doing cocaine around 9/11 and the year or so afterwards.  How else do you explain Obama bending over backwards to please the Taliban- the Taliban that harbored Al Qaeda terrorists that killed about 3000 Americans.
From the LA Times: Members of Congress are reacting sharply to a plan being considered by the White House to transfer abroad five of the most dangerous prisoners from Guantanamo Bay as a gesture to the Taliban in advance of Afghanistan peace talks.
It would be the first time detainees from the "too dangerous to transfer" list have been relocated outside of U.S. control. The swift opposition from leading
Republicans underscored President Obama's continuing difficulty to deliver on his promise to shut down the prison at the U.S. naval base in Cuba.
The Obama administration has suggested the transfer could provide a "confidence building" measure toward peace talks with Taliban leaders as it brings the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan to a close.
The Pentagon this week announced plans to turn over the lead combat role to Afghan forces next year....
With the nation's top four intelligence officers arrayed at a congressional hearing Thursday, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said that the path the administration had taken in the negotiations with the Taliban "crosses a pretty dangerous line" in U.S. policy.
"Dealing with an organization that is in the company of known terrorists is not a good idea," Rogers, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said after the session.
"These are five of the meanest, nastiest killers in the world," said Sen.
Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee. "To say that we're going to release them as a symbol of our willingness to negotiate a peace, that's terrible."
The administration did not provide names of those under consideration for transfer.

First, why would you release the 5 worst terrorists?  Why not release the 5 best prisoners who have renounced their terrorist ways.
But we don't need to please the Taliban, they need to please us.  Apparently Obama doesn't believe in bargaining from a position of power but instead wants to bring the U.S. down to the level of the Taliban.
How else do you explain Obama's position of capitulating to the Taliban?
