The "whatever we call militants these days" ratchet back up with Iranian money,weapons and men via Syria and the house of cards falls to the ground. Of course it will be Bush's fault in some weird way, according to the spin doctors. Wish I was wrong, see every indication that I am right. So far as Afghanistan, It doesn't look like Fearless Leader has decided how he can lose there and still blame it on Bush. So it may be a while before we lose Afghanistan, depending on how long Soros takes to make up his mind. Regards the century old fight between the tribes picks back up.

So, bottom line - the prisoners don't "belong" to us anymore, they belong to the Iraqs. They can worry about the consequences. But I fully expect Obama to throw in the towel in Afghanistan soon, and that is nowhere near "won" - in fact, it and Pakistan grow worse by the day.
