US Soldier Freed From Captivity in Afghanistan

[tinydancer]

The path to take is that of Boise POW-MIA committee who whole heartedly support the release.

Anybody who left or right or center who politicizes this is not acting in our country and our fighting personnel's best interest.

No you are wrong. Do you know the mass murderers they let go for the deserter? This is bigger than the kids release.

Shiites would love to have a word with you Jake. Not kidding. This one man that Obama released killed thousands of Shiites. A mass murdering General.

td, you are wrong, because you have no idea what the situation is with the release.

We did the right thing. Smart Americans know we did the right thing. End of story.

You tell my friends. They know who he is. This is a huge political mistake. Obama has chosen one over the other. I can barely breathe. You have to understand It is not how we perceive the action. It is how they perceive the action.

To Shiites Obama has chosen Sunnis.

Delusional Hagel: This prisoner swap might produce peace negotiations with the Taliban

*Hot Air ^

Members of Congress erupted in outrage over the prisoner swap that traded five high-ranking Taliban officials from GITMO for American POW Bowe Bergdahl, the only US soldier known to be held by the Taliban. Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel defended the decision to make the swap, arguing that Bergdahl’s life was in imminent danger and that the President has the exclusive authority to act in regard to prisoners captured in wartime. We’ll get back to that point in a moment, but Hagel also argued that this trade could produce negotiations long sought by the US...

Co-Conspirator Rice fires back on Bergdahl criticism (Hussein's Constitutional responsibilities)

*The Hill ^

U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice pushed back on Sunday against GOP claims that the administration negotiated with terrorists by transferring five Taliban prisoners in Guantanamo Bay to Qatar in exchange for the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl on Saturday. "I wouldn't put it that way," Rice said on CNN's "State of the Union" when asked if the exchange means that U.S. officials can no longer say they don't negotiate with terrorists. "Why didn't you notify Congress?" Crowley asked, referencing the law that requires the president to alert Congress in 30 days before transferring any prisoners from Guantanamo Bay....

*The Long war Journal - A Project of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies ^

Mullah Omar hails release of 5 top Taliban commanders as 'great victory' Mullah Omar, the reclusive head of the Taliban, has purportedly released a statement hailing the transfer of the top five Taliban commanders from Guantanamo to Qatar.

Obama doesn't give a shit if he helps terrorists by trading for some traitor for so-called "positive news" on TV to cover up the numerous scandals.

Afghans say Taliban prisoners freed by U.S. will rejoin battle...Obuma NEVER thinks of unforeseen circumstances.... how many American soldiers will these scum kill???

*Yahoo News ^

KABUL (Reuters) - The release of five Taliban prisoners in exchange for a U.S. soldier has drawn criticism from some Afghans, who say the detainees are dangerous and will rekindle ties with terrorist networks to resume fighting, just as most foreign troops leave. The men had been held at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba since 2002 and were classed by the Pentagon as "high-risk" and "likely to pose a threat". Two are also implicated in the murder of thousands of minority Shi'ite Muslims in Afghanistan, according to the U.S. military. They were released in a swap with...

Serious questions arise amidst American soldier swap with Taliban

*Mid East Faces ^

There’s much to celebrate as Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl goes back to his family in Idaho after nearly five years in captivity in Afghanistan. Yet pivotal questions arise this morning as details surrounding the case surface, including Bergdahl’s leave from his army base and his father’s possible ties, at least via social media, to the Taliban. It is still a mystery why Bergdahl, 28, voluntarily left his Army base five years ago, suggesting he deserted or went missing, according to a USA Today story. “It’s not the modus operandi for Islamic terrorists to detain American troops when captured,” Allen West,...

The Obama Administration was rolled. Just like they were on the Russian reset. Just like they were in Syria. Someone threw Obama something that looked like a lifeline and he grabbed for it without considering what was going on. Chance to get an American serviceman back and kickk all the VA crap off the headlines? Yeah, I'll do that. But now it's become a shit sandwich. The guy was likely a Taliban sympathizer and the whole thing merely a plot to get the 5 big terrorists back. We were duped.

yeah, I was shocked when I hit the first article I found that it was 2 years ago they were talking about this. Something tells me this had been discussed by some and the answer was an emphatic no, thus why they claim now they didn't have time due to first, his health, and now due to safety and health. Who knows what tomorrow it will be.

Everything I am finding is saying unnamed official sources think he has been through enough already and won't be charged with anything.
