Negotiating With Terrorists: United States And Taliban

More trite news posing as grave is in the news. The prisoner swap of five "extremely dangerous" Taliban were released from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for prisoner of war Pvt Bowe Bergdalh. Why are the Taliban five considered so dangerous when they have been locked away for years ? And yet we have managed to continue losing the Afghan War without their aid? Bergdahl's suspected desertion and supporting statements by Taliban captors that he was disenchanted with American foreign policy are logical. Who does like the war in Afghanistan? Maybe Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the military industrial complex like the war? But who agrees with them? And didn't that unholy trio get deferments from the Vietnam War? What about the charge that we shouldn't negotiate with terrorists? That's B.S. Negotiating with terrorists is how wars always end. It's called peace talks.By the way, Israel is the true terrorist by refusing to negotiate in good faith with the leaders of Palestine.
