So, The Afgan leader was left out of the final loop. An American Islamo-philic deserter is traded for 5 major Taliban leaders for what treasure at the expense of the US taxpapayer is unknown. Why pay to exchange our Jihadist for their five Jihadists of higher value?

Aside from military lives being expended in the search for Bergdahl, what has the US paid to get him back? What will it pay in the future?

Not just Karzai is being left out of the loop.
