What the hell is the US doing?
“U.S. officials hope the transfer will build greater trust between the Taliban and the Afghan government so the two sides can negotiate a solution, the official said.
Obama defended the exchange, saying the government of Qatar pledged to “put in place measures to protect our national security.” ” from USA Today

Here is where John McCain actually makes a lot of sense

“Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., expressed reservations about that part of the deal.
The Guantanamo detainees “are hardened terrorists who have the blood of Americans and countless Afghans on their hands,” McCain said. “I am eager to learn what precise steps are being taken to ensure that these vicious and violent Taliban extremists never return to the fight against the United States and our partners.””  USA Today

We have traded one soldier for 5 high level Taliban command who will most probably go right back into the theatre and start fighting us again. It brings into question the entire prosecution of the war in Afghanistan which is a piss ant of a country. A war That was has gone on for 10 years and has cost us billions of dollars and lots of American lives compared to it’s size. We should have lost 4 or 500 hundred guys there. That war should have been over in less than a year. We should have gone in with overwhelming force, 300,000 to 1,000,000 men, conquered the country , flew the american flag, jailed all of the bad guys, had war crimes trials, banned Islam and created a democratized government and left an American base there.
Instead we have been fucking around and playing footsie with a bunch of jerk offs who want to exploit us and kill us. I am a student of war and especially WWII. We did not mamby pamby around with countries in the middle East. They knew not to fuck with us or we would kill them all so they made friends with us in 1943. In 2000 As soon as we let our guard down, they created this crazy religion which gave them the right to start WWIII in NY city. The way we prosecuted the war in the Afghanistan, the middle east and Northern Africa now is all wrong. We are going to pay for that mistake in a big way because those mother fuckers are going to nuke us. That is the problem.
It ain’t over . And they have won. This prisoner exchange is no exchange at all. It is a Giant mistake by the Obama administration. Islam may currently be compared to Nazism or Shinto Buddhism. Very Military and very hell bent on destroying the world. Just look to the past. Look to the future and see roaming bands of dead people.

“The official named the detainees as:
• Khairullah Khairkhwa, an early member of the Taliban whose most prominent post was as governor of the Herat province from 1999 to 2001.
• Noorullah Noori, who served as governor of the Balkh province and played a role in coordinating fighting against the U.S.-backed Northern Alliance.
• Fazl Muhammad, the commander of the main force that fought against the Northern Alliance in 2001 and served as chief of army staff under the Taliban. He was also accused of war crimes during the Afghan civil war in the 1990s.
• Abdul Haq Wasiq, deputy chief of the Taliban’s intelligence service.
• Muhammad Nabi Omari, a minor Taliban official from the Khost province.”” USA Today
