Despite warning from the Pentagon, Obama released the 'Taliban Five,' who are now orchestrating the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.

He was one of the Taliban 5 Obama freed.
* Their release was NOT part of the deal to release Bo Bergdahl!
Bergdahl was captured by the Haqani terrorist group, very loosely associated with AL Qaeda - they reportedly did not like AL Qaeda. The Haqani funded their terrorist acts by kidnapping people and ransoming them. Obama PAID them for Bergdahl's release.
The Taliban 5, it was reported at the time, were released because Obama wanted to close GITMO, but these guys were Taliban Leaders - not run-of-the-mill terrorist fighters. Obama could not just release these guys. He had to have a damn good reason for doing so...
Enter Bergdahl, who left his unit to go join AL Qaeda / the Taliban. He was just what Varry needed - he LIED about Bergdahl being part of the Haqani group's demands. They never were!
