Again, what could possibly go wrong with the recent release of five high-level Taliban commanders in exchange for Sgt. Private Bowe Bergdahl? Just about everything.
Writing in the Weekly Standard, Foundation for the Defense of Democracies Senior Fellow Thomas Joscelyn writes that the "Taliban 5" are worse "than we've heard." In fact one of them, Mohammad Fazl, played a key roll in the lead-up to the 2001 9/11 terror attacks.
One of the five senior Taliban leaders transferred to Qatar in exchange for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl played a key role in al Qaeda’s plans leading up to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Mohammad Fazl, who served as the Taliban’s army chief of staff and deputy defense minister prior to his detention at Guantánamo, did not have a hand in planning the actual 9/11 hijackings. Along with a notorious al Qaeda leader, however, Fazl did help coordinate a military offensive against the enemies of the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan the day before. And Osama bin Laden viewed that September 10 offensive as an essential part of al Qaeda’s 9/11 plot.
A far cry from "bologna."

Hillary, Biden, and Obama have all said nothing will come back to us on this.

Bush should have tried and executed him.
Didn’t one of the WH talking heads say those five released ‘didn’t do much’ or some such rot?
They wouldn’t lie to the American people, would they?!!?
Just heard a Hillary interview suggesting they are no threat to the US. Whew, I feel better!
I think it was Eric Holder’s law firm which specialized in creating legal delays so that the terrorists could not be tried while Bush was still in office.
Yesterday it was discovered to organizer of the ISIS Caliphate was released by Obama in 2009. This has been Obama’s goal all along... a Sunni Muslim Caliphate. He betrayed his NWO handlers by lying that “Community Organized Fake Arab Springs” with the Muslim Brotherhood, would insure they controlled the route of the Saudi pipeline. All the $$, arms, missiles have gone to the Mo Bro’s. Al Qaeda was & is the military arm of the Mo Bro’s; ISIS is the name of the new Caliphate & the invaders are Al Qaeda. Look at the 1,000’s of new uniforms, new arms, flags, pick up trucks & missile launchers. They were hidden in Turkey & Obama paid for them.
Yeah, well we got a sensitive deserter in return... seems like a fair deal... /s
Thanks for sharing ... I feel better now - - we're all safe. And to make it better we got a sensitive deserter back... it's all good. /s
