Taliban terrorist freed in Bergdahl swap 'vows to return to Afghanistan to fight Americans'
The Daily Mail ^ | June 7, 2014 | Francesca Chambers

One of the terrorists President Barack Obama released last week in exchange for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is already plotting to avenge his captivity by attacking American soldiers serving in Afghanistan, a Taliban commander has claimed.

As a condition of the deal with the Taliban that secured Bergdahl’s release, the U.S. relinquished five Taliban associates to Qatar, where they are required to stay for the next year.

Already, Noorullah Noori, is pledging to return to return to the battlefield, the commander said.

After arriving in Qatar, Noorullah Noori kept insisting he would go to Afghanistan and fight American forces there,’ he said, according to NBC.

Also released from the U.S. detention facility in Guantanmo Bay were Mohammad Fazl, Mohammed Nabi, Khairullah Khairkhwa and Abdul Haq Wasiq.

The five are being treated at a hospital in Qatar, a relative of Noori’s told NBC.

All five men who were released, including Noori, are being treated at a hospital in Qatar, the relative said of Noori.

A man described by NBC as a senior Taliban commander in the Pakistani city of Quetta said that Noori is being treated for mental issues he developed after being held captive for 12 years.

The Taliban official said he had not personally been in touch with the released prisoners, but his men in Qatar were. They are waiting to interview Noori and the other detainees about their time in captivity until their health improves, he said.

‘It will take them some time to become normal and issue formal statements,’ he told NBC.

The president’s decision to swap the men for Bergdahl, an American solider the Taliban had been holding hostage for the last five years, has been met with controversy.

I’ve heard more than one leftist, including Carvile and Whore-aldo, say that “the Israelis swap terrorists for prisoners.”

Well the Israelis USED TO have a policy of no negotiating with terrorists, you just kill them. Ever since that first negotiation, the “trades” have gotten worse and worse over the years. And it will only continue to get worse.

The number one priority of terrorists is to kidnap Israeli soldiers... Or murder innocents.

At his age he doesn't have a lot of options.
It's either go back to jihad or drive a cab in NYC.

So what he basically did was at the very least trade a deserter for the lives of our troops.

I'm still creeped out about the show of affection for the parents.

Especially the mom!

“Taliban terrorist freed in Bergdahl swap ‘vows to return to Afghanistan to fight Americans’”

But, this can’t be. I thought since we exchanged prisoners the war is over?

Guess who’s going to get blamed when they strike London, or Madrid, or Rome and kill hundreds or thousands?

Bush.

We need someone with the political courage to say ‘no, one soldier’s freedom was not worth other soldier’s lives no matter who he/she was.

He unleashed 5, count em 5 dangerous terrorists to save one man. Those terrorists will in the end cost many more lives, what about the parents of those victims, what about their value? No way, no how this was in any way worth it no matter how many times they Alinsky us with the ‘personalize then destroy’ tactics by focusing on the POW.

Clinton didn’t ‘release’ him, as so much took a pass when we had the opportunity to capture/kill him in 1998. That gave Bin Laden the opportunity to plan 9/11.

The NEXT 9/11 is going to be SPECTACULAR.
