Hagel Hopes Terrorist Swap will Help ‘Peace Process,’ Taliban Laughs

This Administration is a joke. An absolute joke.

As a supposed defense of the decision to release five terrorists to gain one American who at best was a deserter and at worst was a Taliban sympathizer, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel pointed to the release of these prisoners as hopeful sign that terrorist will now engage in the peace process.

They won’t. They’re terrorists.

The five high-ranking terrorists were held in Guantanamo Bay as they were “high-risk” terrorists who posed a threat to the United States. However, seemingly favoring a terrorist catch-and-release policy, the weakest administration in history traded the five terrorists in exchange for an American who had been held since 2009 after he deserted his post and wandered off into Afghanistan.

On Sunday, Hagel defended the decision on Meet the Press and claimed, “So maybe this will be a new opening that can produce an agreement” between the Taliban and the United States.

“Maybe, just maybe if we give the terrorists what they want, they won’t hurt us.” This is the most cowardly foreign policy this nation has ever seen, and that includes Jimmy Carter.

I would not be surprised if this is not the start of a scorched earth policy for the United States, why not? Obama has been permitted to get away with so much because of our spineless congress.

The administration is anything but a joke. There is nothing funny about what they have done to America.

These comments by Hagel just point to GHWB being the first president to welcome the New World Order.

We are no longer the "leader" of anything. We "lead" from behind.

There no “peace process”. All the Taliban understands is force. It’s either cow-tow to them and convert to Islam, or die. An ass whoopin’ is all they understand.

I agree wholeheartedly, and to disagree is delusional and suicidal. (MARS ATTACKS!)
