Remember when Obama, said,
"It’s ‘absolutely’ possible that released prisoners may attack us again"
“In terms of potential threats, the release of the Taliban who
were being held in Guantanamo was conditioned on the Qataris keeping eyes on
them and creating a structure in which we can monitor their activities. We will
be keeping eyes on them."
Is there the
possibility of some of them trying to return to activities that are detrimental
to us? Absolutely. That’s been true of all the prisoners that were released from
Guantanamo - there’s a certain recidivism rate that takes place.
I wouldn't be doing it if I thought that it was contrary to American national
security, and we have confidence that we will be in a position to go after them
if in fact they are engaging in activities that threaten our defenses.
But this is what
happens at the end of wars.
That was true for
George Washington that was true for Abraham Lincoln that was true for FDR.
That’s been true of every combat situation. That at some point, you make sure
that you try to get your folks back ...and that’s the right thing to do.”
All this phony on-again-off-again American Patriotism, from a Kenyan occupying president slays me. This idiot really
believes that he can just release the five most dangerous men in the world, back
into the world and if they happen to fall into that "recidivism rate" and relapse into the terrorism that they wear like an old shoe, he'll what, hit the "reset button" before they attack us?
Kerry strongly defended the decision to recover Bergdahl, amid strong evidence he deserted his post.
"What I
know today is what the president of the United States knows, [which is absolutely nothing – except what the hears on
[FOX News] it would have
been offensive and incomprehensible to consciously leave an American behind, no
matter what, to leave an American behind in the hands of people who would
torture him, cut off his head, do any number of things," he said. Read

Yet, we left our men do die a violent death in Benghazi and continue to leave two Americans, a Marine in Mexico, and a Pastor in Iran, to be beaten and mistreated? What, no “fake patriotism” Gitmo or Federal Prison exchanges for them?
We all expect the
Republicans to come out with justifiable outrage and this lawless Emperor's action,
but when even Diane Feinstein (D-CA) comes out and said, "...I strongly
believe that we should have been consulted, that the law should have been
followed and I very much regret that that was not the case....
Let me help you liberals with Frankenstein's translation; what she's trying to say
here, in case you don't get it, we call people who act outside the law
criminals. Obama took a vow "to protect America from
enemies foreign and domestic” not to protect the enemy from America. However, his willful poor decisions have put
our country in danger.
Make no mistake, we will see these men again, when they come
back and continue what they started, thanks to this lawless man and his
criminal act.
