Meanwhile 3 of our Navy Seals are being prosecuted for giving a Terrorist a bloody lip.

The US has released the leader of an Iranian-backed Shia terror group behind the kidnapping and murder of five US soldiers in Karbala in January 2007.

Qais Qazali, the leader of the Asaib al Haq or the League of the Righteous, was set free by the US military and transferred to Iraqi custody in exchange for the release of British hostage Peter Moore, US military officers and intelligence officials told The Long War Journal. The US military directly implicated Qais in the kidnapping and murder of five US soldiers in Karbala in January 2007.

“We let a very dangerous man go, a man whose hands are stained with US and Iraqi blood,” a military officer said. “We are going to pay for this in the future.”

The US military has maintained that the release of members and leaders of the League of the Righteous is related to a reconciliation agreement between the terror group and the Iraqi government, but some US military officers disagree.

“The official line is the release of Qazali is about reconciliation, but in reality this was a prisoner swap,” a military intelligence official said.

    If they're out of jail they're easier to kill..think about that. There is no victory in keeping them there. They'll probably kill other muzlims before they get wasted by us, or Iraqi forces, but who cares? The point is, in jail there is no chance to kill the bastards and if they are out, it's almost a sure bet they'll set themselves up for a killshot.

It's all about Obama and the love of $$$$$$. Get It, well you should by now, he wants control of everyone and everything, worse than Hitler. Pelosi is feeding his ego along with her lust to dominate and $crew with the enemy. What a wicked witch, and the rest of the buffoons in DC are clueless gluttons. GRRRRR
