This part of the article is standing out to me, "While we celebrate Bergdahl coming home, has the administration suddenly emboldened the Taliban? And, why, again, has the president chosen to ignore Congress and circumvent the law!"

"circumvent the law"

WOW

Prisoner transfers a have been going on as long as warfare itself.

There is no shame in them. This is especially true if we are getting ready to pull out.

I am sure this young man will have some ‘splainin’ to do.

It may be that the current Clown Prince nobama clown-car administration doesn't consider the ta-lee-bahn to be terrorists. Therefore, they aren't negotiating with terrorists. Also, aren't their partners-in-crime in syria the ta-lee-bahn? Isn't the Benghazi mess revolving around Clown Prince nobama supplying the terrorists with sophisticated weaponry? By his actions in Libya, didn't Clown Prince nobama allow the terrorists to seize 15,000-20,000 shoulder launched missiles? Where is a responsible Congress in these matters? Do they all hate America or what?

These five yo-yos are about to make up for lost time.

Their “religion” demands it.

“The cost of Bergdahl’s release is five senior Taliban commanders who were held at Guantanamo Bay”

If Bergdahl was black they would’ve gotten ten for him.

I assume nobody else knew of his capture? Can you imagine, if under Bush, the Taliban had captured one of our soldiers? It would have been in the headlines every night.

This gives us a pretty good idea of what’s going to happen in the Tahmooressi deal.

Netanyahu released 1,000 terrorists for Gilad Shalit. I’m still not sure what to think of it.

And the release of five Gitmo terrorists will equate into the deaths of how many Americans within a short period of time??

Today the President got a “two-fer.”

He looks like a hero to his fans, regardless of his lack of interest in the VA.

And he released five more from Gitmo. He keeps this up and his goal of closing Gitmo will be reached. Win win.

This only happened at this time because of the VA scandal. Obama could have had this guy back a long time ago.

Obama needed a good moment and this is why this has happened at this point.

Who knows what evil the released terrorists will impose after a year. I really don’t think Obama or anyone in this admin has given that any thought. They only deal with what is politically expedient. They can always cook up an excuse if the release of these bad guys takes more lives.

I would surmise that obama’s surprise visit to “boost the troops” in Afghanistan involved some suitcases stuffed with cash for the tolley-bon to facilitate this deal. Karzai refused to meet obama at Bagram because of “short notice”. ha.

"And he will return home to Idaho with honor. "

I'm not so sure about that.....wasn't he the guy who "wandered off"? There is a little more I need to know about those circumstances before I consider him honorable.

Lotsa pluses here for soetoro.

1. Flips the bird to Republicans and Conservatives in Congress.

2. Blows a kiss to his lefty base and moHAMmadens.

3. Terrorist fist bump to...well...the terrorists.

4. Sends message to the military that he'll do whatever it takes to bring every man home and that the VA thingee is not his fault because, see, he really cares about everyone in the military and it's a phony scandal anyhow.

5. Gives the msm a "Look, a squirrel!" Moment to divert attention away from the VA,Benghazi, the IRS, economy,NSA, surrender in Iraq and Afghanistan...

Well, at least the Obama administration didn’t out a CIA agent like Richard Armitage did during Bush’s time in office. Oh wait. My bad. They did that just last week and NOT A PEEP OUT OF THE MEDIA ABOUT THIS TREASONOUS ACTION. There was a special prosecutor assigned to investigate the Valerie Plame affair but outing the CIA station chief in Afghanistan was just a “mistake” and nobody says a thing.

This administration operates outside the law and the Constitution all the time. This violation of the law in releasing the five most dangerous Gitmo detainee terrorists without notifying Congress is the second major violation of law in the last week.

But where are the calls from our elected representatives to impeach this Chicago thug? If these violations don’t constitute high crimes and misdemeanors, what does? Obama and his minions might as well be running Continuing Criminal Enterprise than managing the executive branch.
