- Barack HUSSEIN Obama at Saturday's news conference where he announced the release of Bowe Bergdahl
Our past presidents have always stood strong in saying that America
does NOT negotiate with terrorists...but now it seems that America under
this president does indeed negotiate with terrorists for this past
Saturday Bowe Bergdahl's long-hoped for release from five years of
captivity at the hands of the Taliban was secured by doing just that.
Bowe's release (to American Special Operations forces inside
Afghanistan near the Pakistan border) was attained in exchange for five
GITMO detainees who will now be free to rejoin their comrades in the
killing of Americans...five enemy combatants exchanged for this one
American who will now come home NOT only to parents who love and cherish
him, but to a nation who while celebrating his release questions NOT
only the circumstances of that release, but who questions the
circumstances of his very capture.
And Bowe also comes home to a question of timing for was his release
timed as a PR stunt by this administration's media machine to divert
attention away from the scandals Barack HUSSEIN Obama is awash
in...timed for yet another photo-op and self-gratifying pat on the
back...timed to make Obama the hero in Bowe's release in the same vein
that he made himself the hero in the 'supposed' take down of Osama
bin-Laden.
But that is one question I think we all know the answer to.
And of course upon hearing of Bowe's release Obama, as if right on
cue, was quick to arrange a televised photo-op with Bowe's parents where
he said America
“leaves no man behind,” yet he calculatingly forgets
the four he did leave behind...the four he and he alone sentenced to die
in a hell-hole called Benghazi.
And Bowe's story in and of itself is one of contradictions as Army
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was NOT captured on the battlefield, thus some are claiming he left base
camp on June 30, 2009 of his own free will after finishing a guard
shift at the combat outpost in Afghanistan's Paktika province where he
was stationed, then turning up with the Taliban a short time later.
Others say he just went for a walk near the base camp in a supposed secure
area but was captured during that walk. The answer to that will NOT be
known until he is debriefed...and know that Bowe will be questioned like
few before him have been.
One scenario is that if Bowe had voluntarily went to the Taliban
they would have used his desertion in a propaganda campaign bar
none...and they did NOT because they could NOT. And if one studies the
few pictures released of Bowe over these five long years one can clearly
see his deteriorating physical condition, and that would NOT be the
case if Bowe had become one of the Taliban's own.
The other scenario...and I hope this is NOT true...is that Bowe went
AWOL, converted to islam and now according to some reports...including
that of a Taliban deputy district commander...is alleged to have been
teaching the Taliban fighters bomb-making skills.
But neither scenario changes the fact that Bowe's release was secured by
negotiating with terrorists...terrorists who have long demanded that
those particular five be released. And now by meeting the enemy's
demands, and doing so by overriding the fact that Congress needed to be
notified beforehand...which they were NOT...Barack HUSSEIN Obama has
placed a bulls-eye on the back of every American troop still left in the
Afghan war theater...as in capture one of ours and we'll trade them for
at least five of yours...and that is one place where this president
should NEVER have gone.
Now sending the Taliban an unmistakable message that we will do
anything to leave the nightmare of Afghanistan behind, Barack HUSSEIN
Obama has put a payable price on our leaving, and that price now
dishonors all those brave American warriors who NEVER were given the
chance to come home. And it also puts a bulls-eye on any and all
Afghani's who aided Americans in their quest to free Afghanistan
from the hands of the very Taliban Obama now freely negotiated with.
Remember too that those five released from GITMO were NOT just
ordinary Taliban fighters, as two of them were senior militant
commanders connected to altercations that killed both American and
allied troops. And one of those released is Mohammad Nabi Omari, a man
with strong ties to al-Qaeda and the Haqqani network (one of
Afghanistan’s most experienced insurgent groups with
ties to the Pakastani security establishment and one of the deadliest threats to U.S. troops during the war). And two others released,
Mullah Norullah Noori and Mullah Mohammad Fazl, have been directly tied
to the murders of thousands of Afghani Shiites. But thanks to this
deal, and after spending just a year in Qatar under the most questionable of security
restrictions, including a mere one-year travel ban, they will be
free to do what the Taliban do best...kill any and all who oppose
them.
A great trade this was NOT when the ramifications could very well
come back to haunt... ramifications possibly fueled on because Bowe's
dad, appearing in the Rose Garden with Obama, said in Arabic a phrase routinely used by muslims in praise of allah,
"بسم الله، الرحمان، الرحيم،"... translation:
“In the
name of allah, the most gracious, the most merciful”...before speaking
about his son's release.
