Speaking as an Israeli, I see this as an official step off a cliff as far as U.S. foreign policy is concerned and I will use Israel as an example.
Israel started it's first prisoner trades with people labeled as terrorists with trades of 1 for 1. At last count, the trade was 1 Israeli soldier for 1027 terrorists including people responsible for some of the worst terrorist attacks the country has ever seen.
The bottom line is that this prisoner swap system is getting more and more expensive and terrorists fighting against Israel have made it one of their highest priorities. Every year we capture more and more cells with specific mission instructions to capture and hold hostage Israelis to be used in prisoner swaps.
I fear that by making this public trade, Obama has put a bounty on every American in the world when he publicly announced that America will now go into open trade with terrorists.
