And this is why you DONT negotiate with terrorists

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to know that obviously this lopsided swap was a huge encouragement to terrorists. Obama has sent out a clear message to all jihadists around the world, grab one of our GI's and you too could hit the jackpot !

You don't think that they would have tried to do this before this bergdahl deal? Come on!!!

Of course they have always wanted to kill or capture as many GI's as possible, I just think that now they see first hand what a bonanza it can be.

Think of it like this. Let's say you and a group are panning for gold, you've spent all week looking but everyone comes up empty.
Everyone is discouraged, and not very motivated.

Suddenly, one of your friends cries out that they've found a very large nugget !!!

You know as well as I, that that would instantly revive everyone, and encourage them to get back at it with a new vigor they haven't had all week.
 
I expect once we are out of Afghanistan we will release them anyway

That is what happens with POWs

You STUPID MOTHERFUCKER.

They are not Prisoners of War.

They are mostly illegal combatants or War Criminals.

Know what you do with War Criminals?

You're a douchebag

You're the stupid ass.

In the majority of the cases after WWII, prisoners were released..and guess what?

Government officials RETURNED to their jobs.

Let me know when the Taliban surrenders, scumbag.

Let me know when al Qaeda is beaten to a pulp and sues for peace.

Let me know when either one of them signs an armistice.

Let me know when they sit down to negotiate Peace Terms and an end to a conflict with guarantees of no more violence against the United States.

Let me know.....

You people are stupid fucks. You really are.

You think that the Lying Cocksucker in Chief can just declare victory and run away and that will make everything hunkey-dorey?

You think that surrendering is winning?

You're not just stupid, you're disgusting human beings. All of you.

And I mean REALLY stupid.

Really, really stupid.

You know nothing of War. You know even less about how to end one.

Here is a partial list of the War Criminals we dealt with after WWII.

Most of them were just shot before they went to trial. These are the survivors.

And those Taliban scum? As bad or worse than ANY of these scumbags/

And your butthole buddy let them go. For a fucking defector. A traitor.

Terrorists are going to keep trying to do what they've been trying to do since we invaded Afghanistan 13 yrs ago.......Good job, Obama.

Get real, the Taliban are talking about attempts to kidnap members of an invading force.
America does this to innocent civilians.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/09/world/europe/09wikileaks-elmasri.html?_r=0

This guy's name was similar to a wanted man so the fucking CIA kidnapped him, took him to Afghanistan and tortured the poor sod.
They finally realised they'd fucked up and let him go.

I have to be honest and state, I believe the troops deserve whatever they get.
You invaded, you break international law, live with the results when someone returns the favour.
 
From the link:

A Taliban commander close to the negotiations over the release of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl told TIME Thursday that the deal made to secure Bergdahl’s release has made it more appealing for fighters to capture American soldiers and other high-value targets.

You believe that?

Seeing as he said it umm yeah. How does that Obammy crotch smell?

Look at you! You have absolutely nothing to say....but you can't resist. I promise....if I get a few minutes and feel like it...I'll put you in your place sometime over the weekend. Hang in there until then, champ.
 
or you could be like Bush and hire the terrorist to kill for you, even the ones that have killed American soldiers...

Blaming Bush is all the argument you have for everything. You need to realize that Obama fucked this up all on his own.

Don't let something like a med schedule get in the way.

The schedule depends entirely upon you. I need to wait until you say something interesting. Your usual attempts don't inspire.
 
Taliban Commander Released From Gitmo Has Already Vowed to Continue Fighting Americans

The health and safety of Americans everywhere is now at risk thanks to the treasonous man in the white house. Shame on him and shame on his supporters. :mad:

Well the Republican "commander-in-chief" blew it when close to 3000 Americans were blown to bits on 9/11.

Guess what?

Shame is not in their makeup.

Same could be said about fdr you sick son of a bitch.

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to know that obviously this lopsided swap was a huge encouragement to terrorists. Obama has sent out a clear message to all jihadists around the world, grab one of our GI's and you too could hit the jackpot !

You don't think that they would have tried to do this before this bergdahl deal? Come on!!!

Of course they have always wanted to kill or capture as many GI's as possible, I just think that now they see first hand what a bonanza it can be.

Think of it like this. Let's say you and a group are panning for gold, you've spent all week looking but everyone comes up empty.
Everyone is discouraged, and not very motivated.

Suddenly, one of your friends cries out that they've found a very large nugget !!!

You know as well as I, that that would instantly revive everyone, and encourage them to get back at it with a new vigor they haven't had all week.

Good point, but they captured this guy five years ago I think. Don't you think if they have that in mind, that they would treat the prisoner better than they would if they think that they couldn't bargain for them?

You expect the type of people that strap explosives to their ass to act rational? His point was more than valid it is the point of this thread. Hanging a stick in front of the animals becomes much more appealing now that a prize is on the end of it.
 
Actually, now that they know the US will negotiate with them, terrorists are less likely to behead captured soldiers........good job Obama

To get more of their buddies out? Or will Obama just release them anyway?

I expect once we are out of Afghanistan we will release them anyway

That is what happens with POWs

You STUPID MOTHERFUCKER.

They are not Prisoners of War.

They are mostly illegal combatants or War Criminals.

Know what you do with War Criminals?

You're a douchebag

For every Nazi we executed, there were 10 we "rehabilitated" and became part of the "New Germany" we tried to build.

Here's the thing about these five guys.

We couldn't charge them because they had committed no crimes against Americans.

We couldn't hand them over to the Afghan Government we've been propping up for 13 years because they couldn't effectively prosecute them.

And we can't hand them off to an international tribunal (which is what was done with Nazi War criminals) because after illegal invasions, torture, rendition, wire-tapping and so on, Bush had pretty much exhausted every ounce of good will we garnered after 9/11.

um, no, not really.

first, i don't think this is a fuckup. We got Bergdahl back, which is what everyone agreed was a good thing until it actually happened.

And everyone knew at some point, we are going to have to let these Taliban guys at Gitmo go free, as we don't have any legal justification for holding them.

Secondly, yeah, i do consider a lot of what is involved to be Bush's screwups.

Bush was the guy who snatched defeat from the jaws of Victory in Afghanistan by pulling out all our assets in 2002 to go avenge his pappy in Iraq.

This gave the Taliban and their sponsors in the Pakistani Intelligence Community an oppurtunity to regroup and recover.

Bush was the guy who decided to keep recycling the same units through Iraq and Afghanistan again and again to the point where moral had broken down to a point, and they would enlist someone like Bergdahl and not provide him with the proper supervision and leadership.
