He’s from a different culture. He doesn’t understand how Americans think. For him, this was a good trade. It never occurred to him that anyone might see it any other way.
Obama knew it was a bad deal because Congressional Intelligence Committees told him it was. He ignored them. It was like trading Murderer’s Row for an iffy Single A prospect. Thanks Obama for putting a bigger targets on our backs. These 5 guys probably hate America even more now after spending umpteen years at Gitmo being tortured.
