NRO: Obama negotiates with terrorists

As Andrew McCarthy says, "prepare to be infuriated."

Even as the mullahs are terrorizing the Iranian people, the Obama administration is negotiating with an Iranian-backed terrorist organization and abandoning the American proscription against exchanging terrorist prisoners for hostages kidnapped by terrorists. Worse still, Obama has already released a terrorist responsible for the brutal murders of five American soldiers in exchange for the remains of two deceased British hostages.

...About two weeks ago, the Obama administration released Laith Qazali after extensive negotiations with the Asaib al-Haq terror network. That network has long been in negotiations with the fledgling Iraqi government, dangling the possibility of laying down its arms, renouncing violence, and integrating into Iraqi society, provided that its top members — particularly Qais and Laith Qazali, as well as Ali Mussa Daqduq — be released. Realizing, however, that these terrorists were responsible for kidnapping and killing American soldiers in gross violation of the laws of war, the Bush administration had declined to release them.

The Obama administration has not only released Laith Qazali, it has been in negotiations to release his brother, Qais Qazali, as well. The negotiations and release were carried out in flagrant disregard of the longstanding policy against exchanging prisoners for the release of hostages. Undermining that policy endangers all American troops and civilian personnel — as well as the troops and civilian personnel of our allies — by encouraging terrorists to kidnap them to use as bargaining chips.

Put that cup of coffee down, take your blood pressure medication and read the whole thing.

3 Andrew McCarthy had it correct when he said this:

as a man of the hard Left, Obama is more comfortable with a totalitarian Islamic regime than a free Iranian society


And Glenn Greenwald thinks(heh) McCarthy's insane.

5 Obama thinks he shits skittles and that all he has to do is open his mouth and people will change their behavior (see Cairo speech and Iran results).

I dare say this guy has a bigger ego that Sadam or Li'l Kim, and it's going to get a lot more people hurt or killed.

I ain't reading the entire article because I'm not in the mood to get pissed off.

Does it say whether the released terrorist was invited to the Fourth of July White House BBQ?  Because that would be something Bush wouldn't do, which means that Obama must have at least considered it.

It would be a good opportunity for Obama to apologise to them for whatever US policy forced them into terrorism.

Bullshit!

This man mentored with extremists with radically extreme, anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-semitic, pro-socialist, pro-communist, pro-national socialist, and pro-islamic convictions. 

Foolish is an understatement when thinking that Obama does not really share those convictions.

Here's the Cliff's Notes version:  Quds Force-trained terrorists hit a meeting in Karbala, killing one of our troops and kidnapping four others, who they later murdered when rescue teams were closing in.  For that alone, the ones we captured should have been squeezed of every drop of actionable and strategic intel, then had their balls chopped off and stuffed in their mouths before they were hung from lampposts in front of the other prisoners.

That's the axe WE have to grind. 

This is where the Brits come in:

The story of this deal with the devil traces back to May 31, 2007. At the Iraqi finance ministry in Baghdad that day, the Asaib al-Haq network kidnapped five British civilians: an information-technology expert named Peter Moore and his four contract bodyguards. The civilians pleaded for the British government to engineer their safe return. British, American, and Iraqi forces were unsuccessful in numerous rescue attempts. 

Asaib al-Haq operatives told Iraqi-government officials that they would release the Brits in exchange for the Qazali brothers and Daqduq. The Bush administration refused. The Times of London has reported
 that the Americans gave the British request respectful consideration but declined to approve it absent an Iraqi commitment to prosecute the terrorists. The Iraqis refused. Mohammad al-Sa’ady, an adviser to Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki, rationalized the decision to take no action against the murderers of Americans who died fighting for Iraqis this way: “We pointed out that Qais Qazali has a problem with the Americans. He doesn’t have a problem with us. He is not wanted for crimes against Iraqis.”

If that doesn't make your blood boil, then FUCK YOU.  I don't want to know you.

We spend our lives and treasure to give these ungrateful fucks the freedom to indulge their pussy-ass passive-aggressive hatred of all things non-Muslim?  Fuck that and fuck them with a white-hot diamond-tipped American chainsaw.

I'm coming back around to my opinion of Iraq, formed in 2002:  Kick their ass and take their gas.  Put their entire country to the torch and walk away. 

When I am in charge, these motherfuckers will taste the jackboot, I promise you that.

Posted by: Speller at June 24, 2009 11:42 AM (fh5Oy)

81 So he traded terrorists for dead people?  Well I can see how that's a fair deal. 

Under normal circumstances terrorists would never trade one of their own just to kill some people; so that must have been difficult negotiations to persuade the terrorists to accept back one of their own in return for a couple corpses.

By a "difficult negotiation" I mean not laughing at Precedent Obama as he was trying to explain how the terrorist would live, allies would still die; and this would somehow be seen as a fair exchange.

I'm not sure how they did it.  Maybe they explain their hysterical laughter was part of their internal negotiation and was simply in a language Obama didn't understand.

Clearly he'd be stupid enough to believe that as well.  I wonder how many opportunities for this we'll have.  It's a good plan though.

Step 1: US Catches suspected terrorist.
Step 2: Terrorists kill Americans or allies, and keep the bodies.
Step 3: Obama trades live terrorist for corpses.

Rinse, repeat.  We'll have this war won in no time.  With planning like that, how can we possibly fail?  We have a leader capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory; what more could we ask for?

82 Didn't the Staus of Forces Agreement that Bush signed make this release to Iraqi security forces MANDATORY ?

83 Would it be wrong to go over there, track down the Qazali brothers, and stick their heads on a pike as warning to others?

I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I would look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this.

at first i couldn't believe what i was reading, but after a quick google search enough sources are talking about it that it appears more than likely to be true...

which makes me fuckin pissed, barry can suck my dick.

remember that old saying "what if they gave a war and nobody came"? if i were still in the military while the one is in power i'd spend my time in the fuckin brig

85 Begin the impeachment hearings. The military should march into the White House, drag this islamic bootlicking traitor out of the Oval Office, give him a military tribunal and then hang the piece of shit.

30 Long time reader, first-time poster. what song do you think sums up the President so far? My first thought is Fleetwood Mac's "Over My Head".

 

Nazareth "Please Don't Judas Me".

So he traded terrorists for dead people? Well I can see how that's a fair deal.

It's a transaction that perpetuates itself.

(Think about it.)

89 Why is anyone surprised? Didn't the Traitor In Chief campaign on the promise that he would indeed "engage" our enemies? Any day how, he's going to bow to the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

@27: "Thanks, 52%.  Hope you're proud of yourselves."

You're welcome! And we are.  The Messiah (PBUH) is succeeding beyond our wildest dreams.  Utopia will be here, and you will be in camps, being re-educated, soon.

93 I am sickened. History has shown that it doesn't take long for the crazies of the world to smell  fear and stupidity in a leader: Heres hoping that whatever "manmade disaster" our enemies cook up is unleashed in the heart of blue country. Maybe then they'll get it... at least for a few more years, til their next bout of mental lapse and group stupidity. Dissolution? I'm in favor of it.

#94   Oh, my.....you so belittle our efforts. We do much, much more than just negotiate with this human sewage - we are (or soon will be) a terrorist sponsoring state! Aren't you proud! Yes, that's Your Tax Dollars At Work!

I refer, of course, to the billion we have approved and that is waiting (I think its still in waiting) for transfer to the goons at Hamas, because the Palestinians are so maligned.....And, I'm sure that they've promised to use every dollar to assist their impoverished population....
