Let’s look at this just from a bartering standpoint. Obama traded five really bad enemy combatants for one,

He traded 5 high level terrorists for one low life deserter.

This was not even a bad trade. This is treason.

I think this has been Obama's plan all along.

Let us be honest. Obama continues to do illegal, disgusting and damaging things daily, with no regard to Congress. Meanwhile he builds a civilian army while demoralizing, defunding and destroying the US military.
He is daring us into civil disorder showing no restraint from taking our freedoms until we do so.
We can not fall into his trap but must speak out, call Congress and defeat the entire Democrat party in the next two elections. Public opinion must be changed rapidly, this may be the only way to defeat him. Citizens have to peacefully get very involved and fast.

Remeber that Qatar is where Obama offerred the Taliban Middle East headquarters.

http://www.businessinsider.com/the-us-offers-the-taliban-a-new-mideast-headquarters-2011-9

Let’s be honest, the Taliban, Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood are essentially drug cartels with an army of sociopaths linked to governments. Just like the “Sinaloa” in Mexico aren’t really tribes with historical roots. They are criminals that work under the guise of ideological beliefs. They were formed by wealthy and powerful people.

Chavez was funded by Iran and turned Venezuela into a Narco nation, the biggest distributor in the world. Afghanistan under US military protection is flooding world markets with heroin.

The cartels aren’t the thugs that get caught. They are bankers, hedge fund managers, and world leaders. If Obama was working for a nation such as Qatar, this is what he would be doing. Supporting their cartels around the world.

The drug trade is a $4 TRILLION dollar CASH industry. Thats more than the GDP of most nations without the overhead. It has bought plenty of politicians including presidents.

I’m betting that obummer is desperately hoping and working to enable another terrorist attack ASAP, murdering millions, thinking that it’ll bring about patriotism akin to what Bush enjoyed. Boosting his polls.

I think it is something a little more like protecting the cartels.

http://www.newsweek.com/2013/06/12/talibans-new-role-afghanistans-drug-mafia-237524.html

Educated people in South America understand that major traficking doesn’t happen without government complicity.

We are iin the midst of a heroin epidemic, a drug epidemic, and world market are being flooded. It all makes sense when you realize that despite kids dropping like flies, our FED agencies are silent.

The OPEC cartels are petrified of America’s oil production.

Obama has stopped production whenever possible.

Russia, Iran, and Qatar are also involved in the drug trade.

http://www.theguardian.com/business/2008/oct/22/gas-russia-gazprom-iran-qatar. (2008 they invested in buying a president and got their monies worth)

Russia, Iran and Qatar announce cartel that will control 60% of world’s gas supplies
• EC fears Opec-style group will drive up prices
• Gazprom boss tells of end to cheap hydrocarbons

Terry Macalister
The Guardian, Tuesday 21 October 2008


Whenever US oil production is in full effect their golden goose is gone. The drug business is just as lucrative if not more.

“he Taliban get back five of their most experienced, most virulently anti-American commanders.”

Not nearly as “virulently anti-American” as our own commander....

The thing that concerns me most about this whole new debacle is that Obama seems to have rushed his timing on this one. He quickly asked for another big helping of scandal. He is acting like the little kid who just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and responds by shoving more cookies into his mouth before he can be hauled out the kitchen kicking, screaming, and spitting cookies.

What is coming that only he knows about?

He might as well have freeed Bin Laden and Mullah Omar if caught.

It’s becoming clear that right down to his pronunciation of the word, Obama has endeavored to rebrand the “Tally-bon”.

I like the title.

This may have been a bad trade (and I’m trying not to judge Bowe because I’m guessing he did what he had to do to survive; I’ll let the military sort it out) but I’m going to write down each of their names and wait to hear the news flash of the death of each one; after all, we know what they look like.

On a doomsday note: I think this is a lesson learned for non-Muslims...one day we may be forced to make the same decision - convert or die. IMO - this is the Anti-Christ from Revelations...not just ONE man.

Just food for thought.

The government and State Department are saturated with islamists. Only God knows how, or if, we’ll ever get them out.
