US Soldier Freed From Captivity in Afghanistan

[HenryBHough]

Sort of like Vietnam, but less trees and no really embarrassing photographs of the retreat.

Not yet.

But some of the press is starting to slip off the leash......

You assume they will spend a year there terrorist who are returned to the middle east have a habit of not ending up where there supposed to maybe these five will but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

Yes because it's in Qatar's interest..which does a huge amount of business with America, to piss off America.

Qatar omg Qatar

The same country that owns AJ? The same *cough* country that has built a Taliban embassy so that the US can have talks with the T?

The same country that we share an air base in, Al Udeid, yes.

Just as a note, how does an E3 get promotions whilst in captivity?
I always thought promotions were given for service, not for being captured whilst having a shit.

Depends on what he might have been shitting. With this regime you might well imagine what have caught their attention.

A POW can be promoted.

How many Mexicans is Barry Hussein willing to release in exchange for the poor SOB former Marine sitting in jail South of the Border?

With all the hoopla about the "marine" taking three very powerful guns into Mexico, running from police and winding up in Jail, many conservatives seem to have forgotten an American soldier actively fighting in Afghanistan was being held by the Taliban.

He's free today..thanks to President Obama.

The only American soldier held prisoner in Afghanistan has been freed by the Taliban in exchange for the release of five Afghan detainees from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Obama administration officials said Saturday.

Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was handed over to U.S. special forces by the Taliban Saturday evening, local time, in an area of eastern Afghanistan, near the Pakistani border. Officials said the exchange was not violent and the 28-year-old Bergdahl was in good condition and able to walk.

In a statement, President Barack Obama said Bergdahl's recovery "is a reminder of America's unwavering commitment to leave no man or woman in uniform behind on the battlefield."

Now give the Prez some sugar.

Release?

He'll WELCOME about 50,000!

The gun runner? Hopefully he rots.

Really, for making a wrong turn and having no way to turn around? And now he's a convicted gun runner?

So much for not negotiating with terrorists. You of course did not include the 5 Taliban released from Gitmo in return.

Obama is weak and had no choice but to take the deal they offered him. If they had asked for more terrorists released in exchange, he would have agreed to that. It's not likely that they wanted the weakest terrorists released, so I'm sure they are plotting as we speak. It only took 5 years and now the poor guy can get in line at the VA to get treated for PTSD and whatever other ailments he is suffering from.

As for the military guy being held in Mexico, you'd think we could reason with them after releasing thousands of Mexican national criminals onto our streets. We could just threaten to deport them and I bet Mexico would fold. They don't even want their own back, why the hell do they want one of us? If they were so against weapons, then do they have warrants out for Obama and Holder over the Fast and Furious guns?

Well, until the negative fuckers and O haters are able to bring a half million plus demonstrators to Washington DC every year for over 25 years demanding that no one gets left behind it seems only fair to listen to the people who do. Not Forgotten and everyone comes home.

You don't see many people in this thread rejoicing about that.

Remember when Osama bin Laden was offed?

New York and maybe DC were the only places to have parties.

Rest of the US? Especially red states?

That was an awful time.

Prove it. Renal failure = seven, maybe 10 years. I should know because my father is dying from it and he'll actually have a tombstone and a name unlike the subject of your fantasy.

So you would be happier if he was still a POW? What a fucking idiot. Negotiating something republican know NOTHING about. Obama once again proves negotiating and talking is better than war constantly.

Especially more happy are those who kidnap because they know they need fetter themselves with any limit to their demands. They're going to get what they want plus a pretty apology so why stint?

He is not a "gun runner" from all available information. And the State Department IS involved, trying to secure his return to the USA. It really may have been a MISTAKE on his part; humans are known to have that predilection.

The "terrorists" broke under pressure, we got all information we needed. Thus, they were of no further use at Gitmo.

Bergdahl should provide us with some very good intelligence on the Taliban.

 

[Pete7469]

Ayup..

The sugar keeps rolling in..

If the soldier is released, Obama's weak.

If the soldier was killed, Obama's weak.

Actually, the truth is this.

Every single day conservatives undermine our country's leaders, even on the world stage, and that means that they are the ones who truly make America look weak in the eyes of the world.

Consequently, we should make conservatives honorary anti-American rhetorical terrorists since they aid and abet the enemy so much and so often.

But when bed wetters undermine the president it's "patriotic".

BTW, 24 hours ago you didn't know shit about that soldier nor did you care to.


Spare us your bullshit empathy.

That's why the Pajama Boy He choose to pimp His Healthscare wore Doctor Dentons with rubber lined feet. So it would pool there and not soil the mattress in The Lincoln Bedroom.
