That is a great find. I read that paragraph on another thread and marked it to try to find where it came from later today.

You’re dead on the mark, if verified it could and should fry his bacon in a hurry.

The Haqqani network was holding Bergdahl, not the Taliban. But the released terrorists were all Taliban, not Haqqani.

There’s a strong possibility that there was some money transferred along with prisoners. That would mean the Obama Administration funded terrorists, which they have done before.

If this isn’t dug up fast, I will have lost all hope for the legitimacy of our government.

To quote Hillary, “What difference...”. They (Obama & company) traded for him. Theres no way they ever allow him to be prosecuted. It would mean what we already know becoming the official narrative.
Hows this headline? “U.S. trades 5 Taliban terrorists for G.I. Traitor.”.
Theres pretty much zero possibility we see that ever.
That headline would also put the pubbies under the gun to do something about Obama breaking yet another law. They may moan today but they don’t seem to want any part of a fight like that.

>> So the Taliban are no longer terrorist?

Or the regime agreed to the terrorists initial offer without question; thus, no negotiation.

I will believe Hagel when there is an unnegotiated prisoner exchange with Mexico. One American Marine in Mexican prison for all Mexican citizens in American jails, prisons, penitentiaries and other detainment facilities.

It wouldn’t be surprising at all if money was involved, 0bama loves supporting his buddies.

When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, when the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves, when Khaleesi’s womb quickens again, and she bears a living child, then Hagel can be trusted, and not before.

I guess if you capitulate to the terrorists demands without making a single counter offer, then you haven’t “negotiated” with the terrorists.

They didn’t negotiate, they just capitulated. We apparently have no policy regarding capitulating to the terrorists.

Our policy is that we just won’t “negotiate” with them.

Wonder what Obama’s Chicago Coven has on Hagel. No one would issue such an ignorant statement unless they were threatened.

5 serious offenders for 1 soldier isn’t a negotiation. It’s a capitulation.

Hungover Hagel speaks. He furloughs nurses at Walter Reed, saying we “Don't have the money” to pay their salaries — and the gives Billions of the US budget to the Muslim Brotherhood.

To every FReeper that told the truth regarding this was a capitulation to the terrorists and no negotiations were involved ... My Thanks for setting the record straight.

Hagel is correct. There was no negotiation. The Taliban told us what they wanted. We gave it to them. Sooner or later, we would have given it to them anyway.
