I think, as I always do when confronted with “breaking news,” that we are some distance from the truth. We don’t have the real facts just yet, and, contrary to all our frenzied desire to know everything right away, it’s a good idea to take a deep breath and analyze the odors.
One good place to start is where Brad Thor does: forget about the Taliban, they weren’t holding Bowe. He was a captive of the Haqqanis, which Thor nicely describes as a mixture of terrorism and mafia, “80% Sopranos and 20% Al Qaeda.” He then asks an important question: what did the Haqqanis get for Bergdahl? That’s exactly right, because four of the Guantanamo terrorists were indeed Taliban, and hence low priority for the Haqqanis. So?
So we need to ask how much money the Haqqanis got, or how many weapons, or maybe diamonds, I don’t know. We probably arranged for the payment–it’s illegal to do it directly, I believe (although CIA has done it, as has the military, usually under the guise of “providing information”)–and the Qataris may have thought it was a good investment. But something of value had to be given to the Haqqanis. I don’t believe they turned over Bowe as a favor to the Taliban.
It is also possible that the Iranians were involved….
We cannot afford to offend them.
*snicker* They might get violent...

They believe in it, and him. The end justifies the means.

Obama figures with these five gone, he'll be that much closer to shutting down Gitmo. If he can't let them go, he'll defy the Congress yet again and bring them into the country. There's a nice little federal jail in Hardin Montana just waiting for the transfer.

By saving a traitor while real American heroes die for the lack of presidential attention to detail right here in America.

Obama and his agenda is a threat to the American people. We've said so from day one. He proves it every day.
While ignoring his lack of presidential honor and integrity and a boat load of malfeasance as well.
I say give him one last smoke, an exploding cigar, and then stand him up against the wall and cleanse the American gene pool.
An Article 85 violation carries the death penalty in war time, but the left will make this scum a hero, because his actions mirror their own anti-war agenda. He's indicted by his own statements, and those of his unit members as well. He's a non-hacking deserter and a traitor.
