This happens right after Obama announces the Bug Out date for Afghanistan. What if the REAL deal is to get the Taliban to stand down so that they don’t embarrass the Obama regime during this period in return for those leaders. Our “ prisoner” was just cover.
How is giving the Taliban their terrorists in advance going to make them back off and let us leave peacefully? There was nothing about this deal that was meant to benefit America.
And... The released terrorists will spend one year pre-release in Qatar, which means Obama may still have some leverage if the Taliban breaks on whatever shady deal that may have been struck.
