FOX NEWS: Obama admin tried to ‘recruit’ Taliban Five, but failed miserably
The Right Scoop ^ | June 5 2015 | The Right Scoop

Posted on 06/05/2015 9:26:32 AM PDT by Whenifhow

Fox News is reporting that the Obama administration actually tried to recruit the Taliban Five, the Gitmo detainees who were released to Qatar by Obama in exchange for the traitor Bo Bergdahl. They wanted to get these Islamo-Nazis on our side in hopes of getting intel from them as well as a way of keeping up with them or something. But that effort failed miserably, according to Fox News.

They had to know this wouldn’t work. Honestly, this just sounds like the Obama administration trying to save a little face because they shouldn’t have released them in the first place. Either that or they are more delusional than I thought.

“.....Honestly, this just sounds like the Obama administration trying to save a little face because they shouldn’t have released them in the first place.”

Agree. Knowing Obama as we do it’s easy to call BS when ya know it is.

“Failed Miserably”, say what you want about Obama and his Admin as leas they are “consistent” in their “failure”.

This “explanation” will be good enough for the MSM.

It’s more likely the Taliban tried to recruit POTUS and were successful

..... Recruit???? HAHAHAHA ... How about BUY? Don't forget that 5 BILLION Dollars changed hands in this deal! As with all Liberals ..... they think throwing money at something will magically solve all problems.

..... Well .... Those 5 BILLION Bucks didn't do the trick. So next time it'll probably be 5 Trillion Bucks LOL.

If they accepted they would have been double agents and try to honeypot Michelle.

The Taliban Five thought that obama and the democrat party were too radical for them.

Maybe if Obama had slept with them, they would have been recruited?
Someone float that idea to the pansyboy.

Are we to believe then, that had the gov't been successful in recruiting them that the gov't would be also shouting from the rooftops that these animals had been flipped???

After this "we couldn't recruit them, wink wink" statement these animals are marked dogs in their society. Their life span was shortened considerably by the announcement!

That’s a visual I just didn’t need right now.

That wouldn’t even need a nudge.

If there were any “patriotic intellectuals” in this corrupt administration, there shoul be a leak that “they have been recruited”.

Even going back to my childhood, thinking of all the dumb things us kids said and did, I have no frame of reference for the level of stupidity that flows daily from the 0dumbo administration.

Whether this is what they really did or just a face saving excuse now it is beyond any concept of mental deficiency I have ever heard of.
