State Dept: Five Guantanamo Detainees Will Not Have Substantial Impact on Battlefield
Washington Free Beacon ^

Posted on 06/10/2014 4:27:15 AM PDT by bryan999

State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf downplayed the risk that the five Guantanamo Bay detainees exchanged for Sergeant Bergdahl might pose should they return to the battlefield.

“Let’s say the worst case scenario, these five guys do return, in no way would that substantially change the Taliban’s order of battle on the ground, that’s just not even logical.” Harf was explaining Secretary Kerry’s recent statement that concerns over the five detainees are “baloney.”

“Look,” she said at a briefing Monday, “is there a chance they will return to the battlefield? As Secretary Kerry said, of course. But we believe we substantially mitigated the risk enough.”

"They Detainees helped rearrange America for the better.
We (protected) in the State Dept want more of the same."

So she knows that the 5 subhuman bearded savages still want to kill us and are going to try with every ounce of energy still left in their reptilian brains.

Good. Maybe Marie would like a transfer to Afghanistan?

The Taliban have an office in Qatar....thanks to Obama. That permits the entire Taliban organization to “do lunch” and prepare to do the USA....911 style.

The statement is not only logical, but true.

The reason...... there is no battlefield

The war is over

No War, no battlefield

QED

war is obsolete to Moonbats

The only way I might believe the headline is if the next line was, “because we castrated and blinded all 5 prior to release”.

Kerry is such an expert on military matters, of course, because he served four months in Viet Nam before going home to his senator daddy.

And where did they dig up that new spokesperson for the State Dept.? She really shouldn’t be wearing that false nose and glasses if she wants to have credibility.

What kind of heartless, unthinking twisted b!tch does one have to be to spew such nonsense? This President and his ilk have gotten to the point where they’re not even trying to make sense anymore.

Just stand up there, filling some kind of ‘optics’ template for believable spokesperson and spout sh!t about which they know nothing. No experience, no logic, and no scruples.

This is the defense of the WH - Send out the dingbats to lie and say completely inane things. Why do women like Harf and Rice destroy their credibility like this for this oaf? I was talking about this the other day: This rep of Rice is going to follow her around for the rest of her life, she is forever going to be known as the women who lies through her teeth. How much money exactly are these two being paid? Is destroying their rep, their credibility worth that much or are they just really that stupid?

It’s not just about what those 5 will or will not do. It’s about the fact that we have made it clear that we will negotiate with terrorists, and cut 5 for 1 deals with them.

Both her parents are University Professors so that pretty much explains her complete lack of logic.

I feel so comforted now that we have that great Military Strategist Marie Harf reassuring us.

Kerry said the other day that IF these five try anything funny, they will probably be killed in their attempt.

She’s right, they wont have an impact on the “BATTLEFIELD”.

They are going to be targeting the American people with IED’s right here in the streets of America, not soldiers on a far off battlefield.
