Obama: "I released the Taliban because Screw You."

With regards to the release of five deadly Taliban generals for one deserter Islam-sympathizing US soldier, the excuse machine has become more and more ludicrous by the day.

• First Bowe Bergdahl's health was in danger.
• Next, we heard that Bergdahl was a soldier who served with honor and distinction,, so we had to rescue him.
• Next, we heard that platoon members who knew Bergdahl, and who criticizing him, were 'Swiftboating' him.
• Next, we were told that Bergdahls fellow soldiers may be psychopaths. Next, Obama fell back on the old, tired, 'racism/everyone hates me' card.
• Then, we were told by Obama that he has NO regrets for making the swap.
• Then we were told that Obama intends to make many more equally-illegal Taliban releases.
• Then we were told Congress wasn't informed of the swap because the Taliban threated to kill Bowe Bergdahl if they were informed.

It got so silly that I actually started a thread called Let's Come Up With The Dumbest Bergdahl-Swap Defense!, in which we all tried to out-do one another -- and Obama -- to come up with the stupidist, most insulting and in-your-face lies about this Taliban release.

Our Free Republic members did very well, and were very creative, but nothing can match the Obama administration. Their most recent ones are:

• White House: The Taliban Five Aren't As Bad As You Think

• ...and this one, which flies directly in the face of several of Obama's other excuses: Chuck Hagel did it.

WHAT???!?

If Chuck Hagel traded the five Taliban terrorists for one questionable US soldier, then Obama will have to redact and revise his following statements:

"I make no apologies for this trade" will have to become "Chuck Hagel makes no apologies for this trade".

"I will release these detainees whenever I see the chance" (in defiance of law), will have to become "Chuck Hagel will release these detainees and I will see it on the news and become very upset."

And finally, when Obama said that Republicans are upset at this deal because HE did it, because they don't like having a black President..... that will have to become, Republicans are upset at this deal because HAGEL did it, because they don't like having a white Secretary of Defense.

We saw the avalanche of floated excuses, sad justifications, and crazy reasons this swap 'had to happen', but as time has gone on and the excuses have gotten almost Pelosian in their insanity, I came to realize two things:

One, Obama is doing this strictly to distract from the very dangerous (to him) Benghazi scandal, in which he was transferring sophisticated US arms to terrorist enemies of the United States.... and part of the distraction ARE the very bizarre excuses...

Two, Obama released the terrorists because Screw You.

That's right. He has nothing but contempt for America and Americans, so: Screw You. That's his reason. What are you gonna do about it, punk. Screw You. And your family too.

I wish we could have traded Bergdahl for Obama.

Obama isn’t the “Teflon Don”, He is the “Detour Democrat”...

All his blame gets detoured to someone else under him...

[Darksheare]

May he ingest tainted sausage.

Pretty much. Who's gonna stop him? Congress? SCOTUS?

****crickets****

[Blood of Tyrants]

He released the Taliban 5 because his Magic 8 Ball told him to.

[Lazamataz]

I really wish he'd come right out and say it though.

I released the Taliban generals because F*** You.

[tumblindice]

I've seen this `innocent' gesture in too many photos of the mullah.

[Lazamataz]

He released the Taliban 5 because his Magic 8 Ball told him to.

Only if his magic 8 ball said "Screw You".

[Blood of Tyrants]

He had one custom made that only says that.

Haven’t seen Reggie Love for a while.So we rewrote a pop song for Obama,
“Somebody that I used to blow.”

[Lazamataz]

I lied. I recreated the post on your deleted thread. It’s inside the editorial.

The primary motivation for Liberals is not to think that their decisions and policies are actually good for the nation and society.

Their primary motivation is to piss off people that are right and good. Because Liberals are wrong and evil, by definition.

“I released the Taliban 5 because of global warming”

[griswold3]

This chaos of events isn’t mere coincidence. The turmoil is just the effect Obama wants. After all, ‘I won’ is just using his power of office to get even.

[Graewoulf]

“Taliban Mullah in Chief” Hussein Obama has chosen “Secretary of Defending the Taliban” Hagel to continue to make “Grand Bargains” with Gitmo Prisoners so that Gitmo can be closed on the last day that all US Military Personnel finally abandon Afghanistan to the Taliban.

He also had contempt for Hamid Karzai. Obama was pissed because Karzai didn't come out to meet him at Baghram during his surprise visit to Afghanistan last week. So in order to show Karzai who was really boss, he released five people who will make Karzai's life a living hell.

This is all about the pettiness of Baraq Obama.

[TADSLOS]

He might accidentally reveal those puppet strings if he said that outright. Val calls the shots and writes the script.

I’m sticking to:
