What a surprise, Daddy was anti-American, was a follower on Youtube of Anwar al Awlaki, said "God will repay for the death of every Afghan child. ameen!"

And of course he continued with his tweets and his anti-American rants and desire to get all Gitmo prisoners freed.

... and Obama was content to share a platform with him (images regularly broadcast on the BBC) ...

Trying to steal my thunder huh, J/K


Thanks I should of put it there from the get go.


This guy may be a bigger piece of trash than his son, but how could of Obama not known about this before he decided to make himself a hero for getting a prisoner back, I guess he didn't figure people would want to know the truth, that they all would be blinded with him returning a captive American home , I guess he thought wrong !!

[Jeff]

Man did we mess up that country. we stirred the pot enough to piss people off ( one or more of the 5 freed by Obama may be looking to take it out on those that can't or won't defend themselves)

Yes the people that had been tortured by the animals Obama freed are worried and mad as can be, seems like this was a bad idea for all involved.

There is dread among the villagers who suffered atrocities at the hands of Mohammed Fazl over the release of the Taliban ex-deputy defense minister from Guantanamo, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Fazl, one of five senior Taliban commanders exchanged for captive U.S. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, received a warm welcome upon his arrival in Qatar. He is arguably the most dangerous of the men released and is expected to now take on a political role with the Taliban, according to the Journal.

Fazl led a scorched-earth offensive against rival Northern Alliance forces in 1999 that pushed hundreds of thousands to abandon their homes, the Journal said, citing studies of war crimes and atrocities during wars in Afghanistan and human rights reports.

The democrats never,ever think about the long term consequences of their feel good now actions. This is another one of them. A lot of people are going to die now because these five scum were released. And anyone that actually thinks these scum are going to spend the next year in qatar is even dumber than obama.

As of late, yesterday. Wednesday, 4 June.

The PARTY has been cancelled. Ain't gonna happen.

The town is afraid of TOO MANY PEOPLE showing up.

(Good excuse...rather than admitting their HERO is a Deserter)

[Jeff]

Will the lies ever stop coming out of the WH, I guess when we get a new tenant they might ( at least this amount ) OK so now they had to keep everything a secret because the Taliban said to, so yes there is no doubt we are negotiating with terrorist. Personally I feel this is another lie, one that they are hoping will cool down the frenzy going on, but I am afraid Obama pushed his holier than thou attitude a bit to far this time, NO Barrack you can't just do as you please.

The Obama administration apparently is telling lawmakers that the Taliban threatened to kill Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl if the pending deal to free him was made public -- but sources suggest that's no excuse for keeping Congress in the dark.
One Senate aide told Fox News that senators were told at a briefing on Wednesday that "the U.S. obtained credible information that, if anything about the swap became public, Bergdahl would be killed."

If it comes from the white house it's a lie. Pure and simple. I do not believe anything this administration says.

[aboutime]

Obama and company have had to make-up (lie) about so many stories, excuses. They aren't really sure WHICH STORIES/LIES are believable or true.

He (Obama) proves the adage about "How do you know when a politician is lying?"

His lips are moving.

What we are seeing (in reality) is the definition of INSANITY. Problem is. There are so many INSANE people in Washington. Nobody is smart enough to question anyone else.

I can only sympathise with your confused state of mind. Since you've yet to comprehend what a terrorist IS .. and need to ask !!! .. of course, not even the most tenuous link between the Taliban and 9/11 will have crossed your mind.

Then again, perhaps I can help you. I'll try, anyway ...

...

Perhaps not ...

You miss the point. I asked for a definition of terrorist in relation to the discussion. And I don't need a history lesson from you although you apparently need one from me occasionally.

[aboutime]

Not notable to me. Between wanting to denounce is citizenship, hanging with locals daily, telling everyone how disillusioned he was with the Army, he felt for the enemy, sent his belonging homes and left a damn note!!! Oh, and lets not forget the guy on his team who overheard the chatter with his own ears on the intel radios that Bergdahl was holed up in another city looking for the Taliban - ALL before this article ever saw the light of day a year later.

Jim. This also more fully explains why OBAMA was so happy to put his arms around Bergdahl's parents. He knows it's a sign of MUSLIM unity to openly display such feelings in public.

Obama isn't fooling anyone...but OBAMA. While really PISSING OFF thousands of American service members.


Anyone know what "A PHOTO OP" is?

[CSM]

So by that logic, the US should surrender to the Taliban lest they kill more American soldiers in Afghanistan. It truly amazes me that the current administration would have us believe that the reason given is justification for not only breaking the law but breaking faith with the American people, the US military and all our allies.

You miss the point. I asked for a definition of terrorist in relation to the discussion. And I don't need a history lesson from you although you apparently need one from me occasionally.

But this is just nonsense. Unless you're confused, or a Leftie, or even worse, a confused Leftie .. no clarification of what a terrorist IS, is ever called for.

SURELY, 9/11 taught you all you need to know ?

Terrorists are bipedal creatures, superficially human, yet possessing none of the qualities of a REAL human. They are subhuman savages, incapable of basic humanity where and when it counts to possess it, deserving of NO rights, NO privileges, NO consideration.

The world has had proof of this, far too many times !!! Unless you're blind, or just blinded by Left-wing propaganda which teaches you to defy the realities of the world today .. you MUST know all this.

From that understanding, all else follows. So you should need no clarification whatever, for any reason.

[Drummond]

.... um. I should take my own advice !!! ..
