We gave 5 FIVE top level degenerate terrorists, plus like half a dozen lives of our soldiers who were KIA looking for this dork, for 1 ONE deserter.
Only five? Was Gilad Shalit worth more terrorists per square inch, or are terrorists in Israel worth less per pound than Gitmo terrorists?
Here’s what I think happened: Islamic extremists threatened to set off a suitcase nuke in the us unless we freed those 5 prisoners from Gitmo. Obama had to have a politically acceptable pretext to release them so he broke the law and pretended this guy needed to be freed even though this guy didn’t give a rip. Obama had to BREAK THE LAW and release the prisoners because congress would have asked too many questions. Now that Islamic terrorists KNOW Obama can be blackmailed we’re in deep doo doo.
I live in Idaho. I am happy for this man’s family and will not say anything against that specifically.
However, I am appalled by what the Obama administration did to secure his release.
This is insane. He has negotiated with terrorists and freed five of the most deadly captives we had. Several of them have American blood on their hands and the others our allies. They will go back to planning and killing more Americans. They should have been summarily executed long ago after we got all of the intelligence we could out of them.
It is a travesty and will lead to many more American deaths...and what will we tell the parents, family, and friends of those killed?
It will open the door for other groups, and the Taliban to take more Americans so they can get more of their top people back. What will we tell the parents, family and friends of those taken?
Again, the Obama administration has cavalierly violated US law to make this happen.
It sickens me to think what this will lead to.
We already know the Taliban is viewing it (and understandably so) as a great victory. They will use it to recruit more killers.
As to the Sgt. himself...irrespective of the amount of time he was held...the circumstances of his going missing need to be investigated. He had written to his parents telling them he had lost faith with the mission, was ashamed to be an American, and was thinking of going AWOL.
Did he? We do not know...but it needs to be understood just the same.
.... What if the person known as U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl no longer exists? What if U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has taken on a Jihadi name and is currently the part of a cleverly conceived and planned operation within the United States?
This is just Zero and his administration doubling down on stupid. No surprise.
He’ll get away with it. No doubt about it. Nothing will be done. (I hope I am wrong.)
Lord, please protect those 9000 brave souls we’re leaving behind and hanging out to dry when we pull out of Afghanistan in December.
Black is white and white is black. Good is bad and bad is good.
My wife has been saying this for years and that the end is surely near.
So now obastard spins a deserter as a hero.
What do we do? What can we do?
David didn’t take a Bible to negotiate with Goliath. He killed him and God was on his side.
This soldier will be sheltered from the press by Obama.
Sounding more and more like this guy left on his own free will to be captured... right up the lefts alley.
Were the terrorists who were just released part of the group that were to be released in the Benghazi debacle?
You know, our Ambassador for the blind Sheik and maybe these guys?
We all know that Benghazi went bad, no trades made, does this trade make up for it?
