Big deal. How many top taliban generals did obama trade for a traitor?

They wanted to trade for Amb Stevens, but the scheme failed when he was murdered by their co-conspirators when they thought they’d been betrayed when a couple of real Americans defied orders to sit on their hands and do nothing.

At least that’s my take. What you know and what you can prove aren’t always the same thing...

It’s actually the other way around. The Bergdahl trade was an excuse and cover for President Obama to release the Taliban’s five general who were responsible for training and organizing al Qaeda’s world wide Jihadi speller cell network.

We now know for certain that ISIS was being controlled by and directed from Qatar and Obama released the five Taliban generals who trained the al Qaeda world wide sleeper cell network only a week or two before ISIS burst on the scene and kicked off its attacks

People were stunned at fast the Jihadi flooded Syria after ISIS kicked off hostilities ( the number of Jihadi in ISIS was much higher than the media led us to believe) and how quickly Jihadi from all over the world were integrated into a cohesive and effective fighting force.

The five Taliban al Qaeda sleeper cell ring leaders that Obama released into the hands of ISIS’s Qatar based command and control were the reason ISIS grew into a major fighting force so quickly and were essential it’s rise as a cohesive and effective fighting force
