CNSNews.com) - "This is what happens at the end of wars," President Barack Obama said Tuesday when he was asked about swapping American Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for five Taliban terrorists.

"That was true for George Washington, that was true for Abraham Lincoln, that was true for FDR. That's been true of every combat situation, that at some point, you make sure that you try to get your folks back. And that's the right thing to do."

Speaking in Poland, Obama said it doesn't matter how Bergdahl ended up with the Taliban:

I compare them to Ephialtes, Judas, Benedict Armold, Quisling and Tokyo Rose.

Can you imagine the people he will pardon in December, 2016? “It’s what happens at the end of presidencies.”

Hmmmm. I would compare them to Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Mussolini. FDR is a little correct though. Oh, and Woodrow Wilson.

“This is what happens at the end of wars,”

***********
Releasing viscious people who are absolutely determined to continue the war is no way to end it.

Its more a “Peace in our time” type of move.

Maybe he can give the Sudetenland to Russia next~!.

He is comparing himself to

WASHINGTON was not president during the Revolutionary War so while he may have worked on prisoner swaps etc he did NOT do it in his role as President.

LINCOLN sort of ran into one John Wilkes Booth at the theater one evening and didn’t quite make it to the POW swaps and repatriation of combatants.

ROOSEVELT had assumed room temperature prior us blasting 2 Japanese cities into oblivion as a way of convincing them to ‘give it up’, so he also didn’t make it to the Post ‘Game’ ceremonies.

MAYBE BO is just being prolific and wanting to insure his place in history while he can?????

Anyone who is ashamed of being an American is Obama’s brother.

The only thing sicker than this man is the millions of Americans who worship him.

Only worship of government and socialism would account for their ability to ignore these traitorous scandals.

Little known news:

Gen. Geo. Washington swaps Major André for Benedict Arnold. Seems Gen. Arnold was actually a British captive.

Also beyond stupid. A war is ended when BOTH SIDES agree that it is ended. The Taliban have not. Obama and his faculty lounge fools have done it once again fulfilling Obama and Jarrett's goals of enriching the Muslim experience and strength. They commit treason on not only a daily but almost hourly basis now with the fraidy cat congress cowering in the corner, powerless by their own wish.

A truly great President will have the majority of the people compare him or her to towering figures. A stunted one will compare himself/herself to them.

Washington and Lincoln were working under ancient battlefield rules where the “parole” of captured soldiers was deemed acceptable. FDR was obeying the Geneva Convention.

The Taliban does not recognize either.

Where this so-called war is concerned, we’ve surrendered.
