Why Did Obama Release The Taliban Prisoners?

OK, folks, it is time once again for, “wild guess of the week”.

Huh?

O gave up 5 top Taliban generals from Guantanamo. In return, he received one American soldier widely believed to be a deserter. The US sure seems to have gotten the short end of the stick. Surely O knew of all this beforehand (and please, POTUS, none of this nonsense about not knowing the facts until you read about them in the NYT). Very puzzling indeed.

Leave No One Behind?

Gen McChrystal has defended this trade using the old saw that the US military does not leave people behind. Granted.

Think About O's Childhood

Remember that O has his youngster roots firmly planted in Islam. His adult view of the world might be deeply influenced as such. In this case, he might not view Islam, radical or otherwise, as a threat to Western Civilization, Christianity, Judaism, Democracy, or the US. Witness his refusal to fight The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Assad in Syria, Afghanistan, or Iraq.
Therefore, the prisoners he released were nothing more than political prisoners. What could be more righteous? O might think that, in his own mind, he did the right thing, regardless of what the world may think. It is a win, win, win all around.
