THREE OF FIVE DETAINEES SWAPPED ARE NOW ISIS LEADERS
Posted by Staff on September 15, 2014
Remember when Obama committed treason by bypassing Congress and swapping five high-value detainees for one American traitor?
Remember the speech Obama gave last week telling Americans that we must take on ISIS?
Put together the two and you have a case for charges of treason against Barack Hussein Obama.
It is being reported that at least 3 of the 5 detainees involved in the swap have joined ISIS in Syria and Iraq as commanders and are using that rank to usher in an “Islamic Caliphate” (a Sunni Islamic Theocracy - contrary to Obama’s claims that ISIS is not Islamic).
The “Taliban 5” who were transferred from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to custody in Doha, Qatar, are Mohammad Fazl, Khairullah Khairkhwa, Abdul Haq Wasiq, Norullah Noori, and Mohammad Nabi Omari. They have largely disappeared from view since they were dropped off in Doha, but eyewitnesses place Fazi, Wasiq, and Noori in Iraq and Syria fighting with ISIS.
This confirms our worst fears when the swap took place.
One Constitutional expert believes that this is a clear and historical example of presidential treason.
That's enough!
Jillian Moyet, eh? More disgusting by the word.
Let him die, is my guess.

Interesting claim.
Bergdahl is worth five subhuman, jihadi cockroaches. What is Marine Sgt. Tahmooressi worth?
This poses a problem for the Obola administration. In two years a republican could be in the White Hut which will result in a fresh look at this Bergdahl mess...Look for Bergdahl to either;
1. Be granted early retirement and then allowed to leave the states for a legal jurisdiction beyond the control of the US...
2. Be killed in an, ‘Army’, accident.
Obama can never allow the truth of this prisoner swap to see the light of day...
If true, this would be a major story. But its not.
President Barack Obama took significant heat at the time for releasing the five detainees, with some critics also taking issue with the ex-detainees new terms of custody — being transferred to the Persian Gulf state of Qatar with restrictions on their political behavior but relative freedom of movement within the country.
We didnt find any news reports about what the ex-detainees have been up to recently, but we quickly noticed a couple of red flags that made us suspicious of the emails claims. For starters, the claim in politicalears.com is entirely unsourced.
In addition, wed run into politicalears.com before and found the site less than credible. Earlier this month, we looked at its claim that “over 73 percent of all donations raised” from the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge “are going to fundraising, overhead, executive salaries, and external donations.” We gave it a Pants on Fire.
Experts who study the region told us the claim was wrong. The ex-detainees “are all in Qatar. This is nonsense,” said Barnett R. Rubin, director and senior fellow at New York Universitys Center on International Cooperation.
Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said that while he doesnt doubt that the ex-detainees are dangerous to United States interests, “there is literally zero evidence” that the detainees have been spotted on the battlefield with ISIS.
Gartenstein-Ross added that the claim doesnt even make much logical sense and betrays the authors weak grasp on the regions nuances.
“The ex-detainees “were in the Afghanistan-Pakistan theater,” Gartenstein-Ross said. “Based on these guys social networks and who their points of contact were, its pretty unlikely theyd be able to quickly find a way to the battlefield and have a command” in the Iraq-Syria border region.
“They are not native Arabic speakers, and it would be unfamiliar terrain culturally. They would face a lot of obstacles,” he said.
When we asked the White House if there was any evidence that one or more detainees has joined ISIS, spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said, “There is no truth to these reports.”
Our ruling
Bloggers said that “three of five detainees swapped (for Bowe Bergdahl) are now ISIS leaders.” The claim has nonexistent sourcing, has been published by sites with questionable track records for accuracy, and has been knocked down by independent experts. We rate it Pants on Fire.
