Egypt came back from the brink after zer0 installed the moslem brotherhood. Libya is gone to the moslem brotherhood, thanks to zer0. Iraq is teetering if not gone. Iran will get the bomb. zer0 plans to help turn Syria over to moslem brotherhood. Afghanistan is gone back to tallybunnies. Well must be time for zer0 to bow to the saudi royals again. The saudis are receiving everything zer0 bowed down for. Meanwhile here at home, on this side of the globe, Americans are NOT safer from all of the aforementioned. Guess the media figures they and their are safe ... Poor media, they don’t do research and only read what their handlers allow them to read.

It would appear that the Muslim Brotherhood is running the country.

‘These terrorists have the blood of Americans on their hands’: McCain leads Republicans hitting out at ‘illegal’ Guantanamo Bay prisoner release in exchange for America’s only prisoner of war
Five senior Taliban members are to be handed over to Qatar as part of deal

President Obama has been accused of violating U.S. laws by approving a prisoner exchange of five Guantanamo detainees for the release of America’s only prisoner of war, Republicans claim.

John McCain welcomed the release of soldier Bowe Bergdahl, who was held for five years by Islamic Islamists, but said the men being freed had ‘the blood of Americans on their hands’.

I really worry about mclame. Seems mclame has a difficult time standing for America and America’s citizens for very long. Wonder how long before mclame folds?

There must be some secret reparations for them.

Let’s look at this just from a bartering standpoint. Obama traded five really bad enemy combatants for one, well, I’ll be kind and just call him a dipshit.
What kind of deal is that? We elected this man to do our bartering? He’s awful at it. Unless he meant to make a bad deal.
