Obama/Biden Paid $5 Billion & Released 5 Taliban Prisoners For Deserter Bowe Bergdahl

(Republished from 2014)

Lt. Colonel Tony Shaffer, author of The Last Line, and Ret. Col. David Hunt claimed that the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap was a terrible deal. Lt. Colonel Shaffer claimed that the Obama administration paid $5 billion and released five top Taliban Gitmo detainees in exchange for deserter Bowe Bergdahl.

Obama celebrated the release of deserter Bowe Bergdahl with a White House press conference in the Rose Garden in May 2014.

Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, who was part of the negotiations, told Bill O’Reilly the US paid out $5 billion and traded five top Taliban detainees for Bergdahl. He later was on with Judge Janine.

Here was a video from an interview with Judge Janine:

Psaki Delivers Word Salad *And Tries to Blame Trump* When Asked About Joe Biden Having Released a Taliban Leader From Gitmo as VP

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki wasn’t too happy about cutting her vacation short to answer for Joe Biden’s Afghanistan debacle.

Psaki answered questions from reporters after National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan made excuse after excuse for his incompetent and AWOL boss Joe Biden.

A reporter asked Psaki about the top Taliban commando who was released from Gitmo while Joe Biden was Vice President.

Taliban leaders entered the presidential palace in Kabul on Sunday and declared victory.

Who Could Have Guessed it? Obama’s “Taliban Five” Were Instrumental in the Overthrow of Afghanistan

Obama gave $5 billion and the ‘Taliban 5’ for deserter Bowe Burgdahl. These terrorists were instrumental in the overthrow of Afghanistan the New York Post reports (https://nypost.com/2021/08/16/taliban-leader-was-freed-from-guantanamo-in-2014-swap-by-obama/):


The mastermind of the regime change is former detainee Khairkhwa, the Taliban mullah whom Obama released from Gitmo even though the Pentagon classified him as too dangerous to release.

Earlier this year, Khairkhwa assured the administration that the Taliban would not launch a spring military offensive if Biden committed to removing all remaining American troops. He also promised not to retaliate against any Afghans who worked with the US military or the US-backed government in Kabul. But Khairkhwa showed no signs of remorse or rehabilitation inside Gitmo — if anything, he’s probably more embittered toward the United States. Why would they believe him?

Reports coming out of Kandahar and Kabul indicate the extremists have already broken their word. Taliban thugs have started a reign of terror against people who cooperated with Westerners. Guided by a “kill list,” they are going door to door to punish their enemies.

A Taliban prisoner who was released from the Guantanamo Bay prison in 2014 by former US president Barack Obama, is emerging as the key figure who reunited the insurgents and helped them capture the power in Afghanistan. Khairullah Khairkhwa was released along with four others in exchange for captured US Army soldier, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.

And now a message from the Taliban to Hidin Biden. They use the date of 9/11 to tell him to GTFO.

Taliban Tells Joe Biden to Withdraw All US Troops from Afghanistan by September 11 – The 20th Anniversary of the 9-11 Attacks

This is what victory looks like — You get to call the shots.

The Taliban is now telling Joe Biden and Democrats what the new rulers expect in the next four weeks. Taliban spokesperson Suhail Shaheen says the US should “withdraw all their forces” by 11 September.

The 9-11 Anniversary out to be a special day this year for the Biden regime, globalists, New York liberals, and Taliban leadership.

Via Russia Today:


A senior spokesperson for the Taliban has warned that the US military personnel in Afghanistan must be gone by September 11, after Washington redeployed soldiers to watch over the evacuation.
The US must remove all its troops from Afghanistan by September 11, Suhail Shaheen, a member of the Taliban’s political office and negotiation team in Qatar, told Sky News.

Shaheen said the militants remain committed to not attacking US servicemen, and their immediate goal is to maintain security and prevent incidents around Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul.

The group’s spokesperson previously said that foreign diplomats and aid workers will not be harmed.

The US planned to withdraw its troops by August 31, but was forced to dispatch around 5,000 additional soldiers to facilitate the evacuation of American diplomatic personnel and their allies from Kabul, as Afghanistan’s capital and largest city was swiftly seized by the Taliban on Sunday.

The sudden arrival of the militants sparked panic, with locals swarming the airport in the hope of catching a flight from Afghanistan. According to reports, several people died during the ensuing chaos and US troops reportedly fired in the air to prevent desperate Afghans from flooding the runway.

Hell no, it was not worth it.
And it was done by the obama traitor to aid his muslim brothers.
Ever notice how he is never vilified by the muslims????
Care to guess why-- most of them know he is muslim, that he works for Islam...
I raised holy hell about it back then and pointed out what it truly was-- it was aid gifted to our terrorist enemies.
And 5 billion dollars is not chump change - especially when we only got a damn traitor in the deal.
A worthless POS guy that should have been court martialed and shot.--Tyr

It does border on the unbelievable .

I wonder if we will ever see this Gay ex President ever held to account as a Traitor ? And assuming there is sufficient evidence , it would be nice to see his husband Michael share the same fate .

Being you know about the Taliban and such - what are your thoughts on Biden's decision here?

Obama Freed The Taliban Leader Who Engineered Kabul Takeover

Former President Barack Obama didn’t listen to Pentagon officials when they told him Taliban mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa was too dangerous to release. Instead, he freed the group that came to be known as the ‘Gitmo five’ — Khairkhwa alongside four of his buddies — from the Guantanamo Bay prison in 2014 in exchange for a U.S. soldier who deserted his post.

Obama all but guaranteed that Khairkhwa and the four other men would be sent to Qatar, where their movements would be restricted and where they could do no harm. As it turns out, the Taliban isn’t as trustworthy as the former president thought.

Now, Khairkhwa has resurfaced as one of the masterminds behind the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
