Well I bet someone in congress might have objected to trading 5 top level terrorist and Talaban leaders for a naive deserter and possible traitor.
That was the point of congressional oversight so that Obama doesn’t make bonehead trades like this with our assets.
Not saying we shouldn’t have gone after the american being held prisoners, we just shouldn’t have given up 5 far more valuable prisoners in for this guy. You trade a private for a private, not 5 generals for a traitor.
We should have sent our men in to track down theses terrorist and the trait or because we really need to capture them anyway.
Can we still go back to Qatar and recapture theses terrorist?
What makes you think the US Govt wants to “recapture” these jihadists? They wanted to cut them loose, Bergdahl was the vehicle to do it.
“That was the point of congressional oversight so that Obama doesn’t make bonehead trades like this with our assets.”
Laws and such don’t apply to them. We know that and even the LIVs are starting to get a halfway clue.
I’ll never believe this was done for any other reason than they wanted to release the terrorists and get a twofer by appealing to our patriotism and being heroes. They really believed we would see them that way, and you don’t share hero status with anyone.
Just look at how the stage was set for them to pull this off — a non disclosure order in place....the Rose Garden appearance with the parents to tug at our heart strings....the hometown hero parade with handmade signs, American flags, ribbons...sending the liar rice out there to call the treasonous b*****d a hero...hillary sent out to get her supporters on board....on and on.
They never counted on the blowback they’re getting, and they’re dumbfounded by it. Idiots.
“Can we still go back to Qatar and recapture theses terrorist?”
We have the ability, but we’ve been ordered by the terrorists to stand down.
