So it turns out we do negotiate with terrorists

[michigancat]

Great job everybody, next up: World Hunger.

But hey, did the administration trade 5 bad guys for a deserter and possible traitor?

Hmmm

5 bad guys with GPS up their ass for a guy who will be interrogated to an insane degree to learn how these AQ guys operate?

I'd take it

Now see. I didn't think outside the box on this one. This is good.

You realize this means AQ has 5 guys to interrogate to an insaner degree to learn how the US operates.
 

hopefully we shut down gitmo and it will all be worthless info. Joke's on you, suckers!

and they were probably all sheep/opium farmers anyway

Yeah, I hope they don't tell them about what fabric our hoods are made of or pizza tuesdays

The libtards desperation for a silver lining here has really clouded their sense of humor and ability to think rationally (to the extent they were capable of doing this to begin with).

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

uhh... they have been sitting in a concrete box for 10 years

Whereas Bergdahl probably wasn't right? I bet they let him sit in the corner of important meetings, taking notes, kind of like a summer intern. Yeah, he'll be a major intelligence asset.

Here's what Obama couldn't tell you.  These 5 "terrorists" have spent the last 10 years watching Disney movies and listening to Hanson.  3 years ago, they turned coat and became sympathetic to American interests.  We didn't swap prisoners earlier this week, we planted 5 double agents deep in the belly of the beast.

Do you think the American public will swallow that lie?

The implications would be tough to digest.

Do you think they made them watch Frozen? Or maybe more accurate to say "let them" watch Frozen? That movie friggin rocks.

This is all pretty irrelevant, though. We don't need double agents or ass GPS. To hear Obama tell it, this five-for-one exchange rate is the first step towards a constructive relationship with the Taliban. A "reset" if you will.

[SdK]

No. We just look like a Talihoe amirite?

[SdK]

Our eyes was on the mark and we took him home

[chuckjames]

The Real Tragedy of all this is we are forgetting the true cover-up #BENGHAZI. Obummer is just playing us all for fools. 

[Spracne]

Great point, chuckjames (if that is your real name).

I bet he was moved all over.  It's not like AQ has a awesome joint like gitmo

yup, no benefit to know where these 5 go after we release them.  None.  In fact, seeing exactly where they travel probably hurts us in long run.

What if instead of ass GPS, we gave them ass bombs, and the next time they fart, that whole terrorist war base goes up in flames?

[puniraptor]

ksu is right. 5 to 1 exchange for living bodies seems like crap compared to the 20 to 1 exchange rate for dead ones we normally get.

Intelligence is more valuable than casualties.  You obviously never spent any time in country

So much worse there isnt a hero like Ollie North to keep #KingObama honest.

I guess since I never had the balls to join the military I find it hard to criticize anybody who did. Was he troubled? Absolutely but Im sure something similar has happened in every war we have been a part of other than Gulf War 1, that was an ass kicking.

Yeah, I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying if we're going to go behind normal procedures, this is a weird case to do so.

Exchanging prisoners at the end of a war is a "normal procedure".
