Time magazine is rushing to President Obama´s side to defend him against the charge that he negotiated with terrorists to secure the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. The magazine tells readers that the maxim that America doesn´t negotiate with terrorists is more of a general ideal than a hard-bound policy and cites several other presidents who, the magazine claims, did negotiate with terrorists. Time notes that during the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis Jimmy Carter negotiated with the Iranian Mullahs who took over Iran after deposing the Shah. Reagan also negotiated with the Mullahs, Time notes. Of course, in both cases

Right. Ooops, forgot about the Al Qaeda guys he's arming in Syria.... uh.. and the MB's guys in Egypt... and Hamas... and er...the Al Qaeda guys in Libya... That's IT.
Except for the Nigerian Islamists.
Fine. That's ALL.
And the meetings with the Iranian mullahs. Yep. No more.
Not a smidgeon!
Except for arming the Mexican Cartels in the Gunwalker scheme. Yeppers. Nuthin' there.
I think.
That's an outright lie. SOP for the Slimes pamphlet.
What is this TIME magazine of which you speak? Is it a watch catalog?
This seems to boil down to: “Obama is rubber, you’re glue.”
Yeah, kinda like the Pirate Code, eh, Jack?
Just when you think Time is no longer around, they pop up to show you exactly why you think that.
Don’t think Obama negotiated. Negotiations could not have produced such a horrible deal!
He negotiated like a prison b$&$h negotiates with his cell mates.
Terrorists were holding Bergdahl. Only those terrorists could agree to release him. Sell those six year old “mommy I didn’t do it” excuses somewhere else.
Was Bergdahl a prisoner of the Taliban, or did he join them?

5 things Obama doesn´t want you to know about the Taliban prisoner deal
Haha - well put.
Yes, he appears to have defected.
Those freaks down at Slime really need to grow up. They can’t continue kissing Obama’s *** and maintain any type of credibility. Hitler and Stalin would have loved today’s Time and they would have loved Hitler and Stalin.
Obama violated the letter and intent of the no-negotiation policy and he damn well knows it.
What is this “Time” of which you speak?
Beats me. I always flush my TP after I use it.
Well, of curse ODimwit negotiated with terrorists. However, the rest is correct. MANY a President has.
That is not the issue. The only issue is ... should they ever?
I have more regard for the Weekly World News.
