That is Triceratops sh**, and appropriately so... Because Obama is at the HORNS of a dilemma.

I’ve not read one response from Freepers about this. I will add my voice, however, to what I know is the growing chorus.

I DON’T BELIEVE IT!

This administration is replete with insane people (as if the butt-licking media). Liberalism is truly a mental disorder. I guess that’s why the misguided idiot LIBs closed mental hospitals in the 60’s & 70’s...they feared being placed in them for the rest of their worthless lives.

Like the Taliban could give a Cr@p about leaking this deal. LOL!

These clowns must really think the American People are the dumbest people on earth.

But then we did elect Obozo... TWICE!

Yep, it is BS. They kept him alive for FIVE years and on the brink of a trade they threaten to kill him? I’m not buying it. He was their only card.

OMG, what a lame ass claim.

You mean to say they would have sacrificed the five generals because of a leak?

Wow this Obozo truth squad has reached an incompetence of incredible proportions.

You know, I have to imagine that it might have been better to allow Usama bin Laden to remain in play, rather than to allow this current administration to continue its destructive agenda...

But hey, as long as the 49% of stooped citizens, and non-citizens of this country support this imbecilic, amateurish elected caste of clowns...

And they won re-election on their formula...

We deserve exactly this situation...

Of course they do...We are stoopid, lazy and unable to defeat liberalism and the socialist handlers behind the countries decline domestically and internationally...

If we cannot get the leaderships’ foot off the gas peddle, we will see a continued decline...Only it’ll hit the ground a little faster than we anticipate...

So first it is a 5 for 1 “prisoner of war” swap, and now it is that the terrorist thugs were going to murder him. So I guess it was kidnapping for a ransom plain and simple all along and we succumbed to paying the ransom. Or even worse. Queue the Somali pirates next. Sheesh, what a mess...

no matter. The media won’t challenge them so they can say it was a message from God or allah, Yoda or Spock that gives them the authority and the Times will praise Obama for his cross planetary cooperation.

And Obama actually believed the Taliban would kill the guy, thus giving up their best chance to have the five Very Bad Guys released from Gitmo?

He didn’t think they were bluffing?

He thinks we’ll believe that?

Bwahahahahahaha!

If we had a real President such as President Reagan, he would have respond in kind. He would have said if by some unfortunate accident our “soldier” is not returned to us alive, we will send your 5 generals back about 3 minutes before we nuke half of your country.

King Obama strikes again and bypasses congress and breaks the law. When are we going to strike back with impeachment??

If we wait till his term is done, then we deserve what we get. He can do a lot more damage in 2 years.

That's going to be Obama's excuse? "The Taliban made me break the law!"
