The United States Does NOT Negotiate With Terrorists or Trade For Hostages

Remember that?

Ah.

Good times, good times.

US soldier held captive by Taliban in Afghanistan for nearly five years freed

Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the only American soldier held captive in Afghanistan, has been released by the Taliban in exchange for five Afghan detainees, U.S. officials said Saturday.

From GUANTANAMO, no less.

…A Defense Department official gave Fox News the names of the detainees: Mohammad Fazl, Mullah Norullah Noori, Mohammed Nabi, Khairullah Khairkhwa, and Abdul Haq Wasiq. They are believed to be the top five Taliban leaders at the prison and were selected in 2012 by Taliban leaders as part of initial negotiations.

I am thankful Bergdahl is safe. I KNOW we ALL are.

But, OH DEAR GOD.

This is a horrible precedent, especially with how he’s hamstringing the kids we have left in that hell-hole as he runs away.

Or ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD the US military serves, for that matter.

Open season, baby.

    It’s worse than that, Sis.

    Any American, anywhere in the world, is now a target.

    Obama and his ilk really hate America.

    THS, I hate to say this, but I could give a rat’s backside about Bergdahl – he walked away from his post in Afghanistan (something I knew of before everything blew up today).
