What alludes me is what’s this guy, Bowe-boy, got that is worth releasing 5 top Al Quaida, who are proven masters at killing Americans wherever they find them, and our allies by the thousands?
It does NOT make sense.
Must be an excuse to empty Club Gitmo is all I can pull out of such insanity.
It would be too much to hope that this guy was a deep cover plant (for our side), establishing street cred by feigning disillusionment and disloyalty, and then playing deserter.
After all, if Obama set him free, especially in exchange for the worst of the worst Gitmo prisoners, Occam’s Razor sez he’s bad news.
If I were one of these family members I might hold that hope just to keep sane, however. The alternative is that the USgov has been fully usurped by muslim terrorists. Oh wait...
Brad Thor wrote an article for The Blaze this morning, and it may help you understand.
Negotiating With Terrorists: Inside the Capture and Release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl
When news of Sgt. Bergdahl’s release broke, I reached out to intelligence contacts who have operated in the Af/Pak region and are familiar with the situation. I wanted to discuss what was being reported – and more importantly – what wasn’t. The following is what they told me.
It's a good read. Thor also suggests that a ransom was paid, and that the "trade" for 5 Taliban is actually a smokescreen to hide it.
Everyone is outraged because these Taliban were released. But, the group holding Bergdahl actually had little interest in releasing Taliban. They had their own guy in GITMO, and without his release, they would have just wanted more money.
