    No, FDR was a liberal, but he was a patriot, unlike Obama. Obama plans to release all the enemy combatants in Gitmo, after we pull all the troops out of Afghanistan. However, the Taliban will still be at war with the people of Afghanistan. Muslim jihadists use a peace treaty as an opportunity to get stronger before the next attack, just as Muhammad did.

    Generalization are always a waste of my time. If it didn't happen it isn't worth discussing.

    Here's some examples of Nazi Generals. If you don't know what they did, look them up.

    Manstein

    Rommel

    Guderian

    Model

    Kesselring

    Hell, if the US had captured even one of those guys, the war would have finished months earlier! I don't think FDR would have swapped Ike, MacArthur or Patton for any of the top German generals.

    However, the Taliban commanders are not on the same level as Rommel.

    Who knows. Stop asking pointless questions in the hopes that someone will agree or disagree with you, in order for you to feel validated or have the opportunity to start a politically fueled online flame war.

    Presidents do what they think is best....you live in a REPUBLIC, in case you had forgotten that!

    Reagan traded 1,500 MISSILES with Iran for five US hostages....do you not understand that many of those missiles are now pointed at the USA?

    The correct analogy is, would Hitler have traded 5 leaders of the French resistance for 1 Nazi deserter like Obama traded....

    No. Though he might have traded corpses. I;d think he'd agree any number of dead Nazi's are worth one dead American. Even a deserter.
