We have been negotiating with the Taliban for some time over Bergdahl. The question remains, did we give too much to get him back? I can't answer that now. We will have to wait some time to see how it all plays out.
I am most concerned that Obama did not follow the law and consult Congress before agreeing to the exchange. Why didn't he? I suspect he knew that there would be some blowback on who was released. I would like to know if the intelligence community and DOD were consulted and what were their recommendations. Who signed off on it within the Executive Branch? These are important questions that need answers.
Obama and Dems often use emotion to sway the public. Obama did the same thing with his backdoor amnesty for over 1.8 million "Dreamers." 500,000 have already received legalization, SSNs, and work permits--all without Congressional approval. He should be impeached for that alone.
No doubt Obama will declare anyone who even questions what he did as being hard-hearted and not patriotic. The VA scandal has certainly cast the Administration in a bad light. What better way to burnish Obama's image as someone who cares about the military than to get the lone US POW released a day after Shinseki resigned. A coincidence? I think not.
I think you’re right Cousin Michael.
This deal was done to make Obama appear as he who loves the military as the VA situation portrays the opposite.
The speech at West Point, heh, what an awful bunch of stupid rhetoric.
