Obama: "I released the Taliban because Screw You."

With regards to the release of five deadly Taliban generals for one deserter Islam-sympathizing US soldier, the excuse machine has become more and more ludicrous by the day.

• First Bowe Bergdahl's health was in danger.
• Next, we heard that Bergdahl was a soldier who served with honor and distinction,, so we had to rescue him.
• Next, we heard that platoon members who knew Bergdahl, and who criticizing him, were 'Swiftboating' him.
• Next, we were told that Bergdahls fellow soldiers may be psychopaths. Next, Obama fell back on the old, tired, 'racism/everyone hates me' card.
• Then, we were told by Obama that he has NO regrets for making the swap.
• Then we were told that Obama intends to make many more equally-illegal Taliban releases.
• Then we were told Congress wasn't informed of the swap because the Taliban threated to kill Bowe Bergdahl if they were informed.

It got so silly that I actually started a thread called Let's Come Up With The Dumbest Bergdahl-Swap Defense!, in which we all tried to out-do one another -- and Obama -- to come up with the stupidist, most insulting and in-your-face lies about this Taliban release.

Our Free Republic members did very well, and were very creative, but nothing can match the Obama administration. Their most recent ones are:

• White House: The Taliban Five Aren't As Bad As You Think

• ...and this one, which flies directly in the face of several of Obama's other excuses: Chuck Hagel did it.

WHAT???!?

If Chuck Hagel traded the five Taliban terrorists for one questionable US soldier, then Obama will have to redact and revise his following statements:

"I make no apologies for this trade" will have to become "Chuck Hagel makes no apologies for this trade".

"I will release these detainees whenever I see the chance" (in defiance of law), will have to become "Chuck Hagel will release these detainees and I will see it on the news and become very upset."

And finally, when Obama said that Republicans are upset at this deal because HE did it, because they don't like having a black President..... that will have to become, Republicans are upset at this deal because HAGEL did it, because they don't like having a white Secretary of Defense.

We saw the avalanche of floated excuses, sad justifications, and crazy reasons this swap 'had to happen', but as time has gone on and the excuses have gotten almost Pelosian in their insanity, I came to realize two things:

One, Obama is doing this strictly to distract from the very dangerous (to him) Benghazi scandal, in which he was transferring sophisticated US arms to terrorist enemies of the United States.... and part of the distraction ARE the very bizarre excuses...

Two, Obama released the terrorists because Screw You.

That's right. He has nothing but contempt for America and Americans, so: Screw You. That's his reason. What are you gonna do about it, punk. Screw You. And your family too.

It has nothing to do with Karzai; The Won released those five because he wants them back on the battlefield.

[humblegunner]

He cut them loose because he thought their beards looked cute and tickly and he likes to try new things.

[Lazamataz]

I'm sticking to

1. Distraction from the Benghazi and VA scandals
2. Screw you, America

[subterfuge]

“Shut up,” he explained.

[Diogenesis]

"The Won released those five because he wants them back on the battlefield."

DING. DING. DING. We have a winner based upon supportive Evidence.

[Jane Long]

But, but Laz...0 has a pen and a phone.

Cloward-Piven on the border.
The Taliban five aren’t as bad as you think.
Republicans lead by fear.

He can go all scorched earth, now, and Congress will do what?

****crickets****

[Lazamataz]

“Die, America,” he reasoned.

[CapnJack]

Did he actually say “Screw you...” or not? Double quotes in the title suggests he made the statement him self.

[I want the USA back]

He has already won. He’s got us talking about Berghdal, not about the 5 ugly-a$$ bearded savages who are now back home with other bearded savages.

[Kickass Conservative]

Obama is the first Flubber President.

Scandals don’t just slide off him, they bounce off and accelerate in the opposite direction.

I want to reply with something witty, but I'm having lunch and than going to have my mid afternoon dump.

Mebbe I'll think of something then.

Where's that chocolate milk when you need it!

[luvie]

As I said....

I hate obama!

[luvie]

Would have worked for me! :)

[Lazamataz]

I hate obama!

And he hates you.

[PoloSec]

I don’t know why he doesn’t just come out say, everything I do; I do because I can.

Now lets talk about more important things then this Bergdahl issue, like taxes; the coffers of my kingdom are depleting and Moochell has plans to visit many more lesser kingdom’s, now rest assured my tax plan will be fair to all.

[lightman]

May he ingest tainted sausage.

Anally

[iceskater]

Awesome. Epic. You rock!

[luvie]

I know.

It’s my badge of honor.

[Darksheare]

Often.

I wish we could have traded Bergdahl for Obama...

I'd have traded the taliban-guantanomo five for the tally-bon TAKING Ø off our hands...

... plus cash, plus a player to be named later.
