Location: Florida.. | I think its BS he did this behind closed doors.. behind everyone in Washington.. its treason at it finest per someone said.....The guy deserted the troops... walked away... and palin wrote this...".... Barak Obama just released Islamic terrorists from GITMO, exchanging the murderers for a soldier who ended up in enemy hands five years ago amidst unexplained circumstances. Obama glowingly suggests now that he succeeded in negotiating with terrorists to seal the deal, violating America's agreement with our allies that we would not be so reckless, short-sighted and stupid as to negotiate w...ith terrorists – and now these Islamists who hate us are free to go about their business of killing us. Meanwhile, we have a U.S. Marine detained in Mexico who is ignored by Obama ""
– and this is what we exchanged him for...

Location: Riding Crackhead. | My husband and I talked a little about this topic this morning watching GMA. I either missed the part where he was a deserter or they didn't touch on that on the broadcast. If he was a deserter than I have a huge problem with this and the fact that 6 soldiers lost their lives looking for him plus they released 5? prisoners that we had in exchange for this guy. If he was a true prisoner of war then that would shed a little different light on this for me. |

 You just got to get mean and mean it.
Location: Arkansas | So do I. But I'm going to wait until there
is more reliable information out. So far it sounds like a bunch of sour grapes.
I do take exception to the member's of Congress squalling because they weren't notified before the hand off. I suppose they wanted to debate it for a few weeks. They couldn't get anything done without debate even if their pant's were on fire!

He will come home with guilt.....he and only he knows what he did that night and why. I want to hear what he has to say.....Those who have served with him are telling their story, it's not a positive one. |

Location: Displaced Iowegian | Of all of the dastardly deeds that Obama has committed, this, BY FAR, is the most dangerous to our safety. He released five prisoners who were known to be VERY high up in the ranks of the taliban for ONE (supposed prisoner.
And, as much as I think that the members of Congress are a bunch of "nutcases"....they ARE correct.....they should have been notified because they would NOT have allowed this to happen. Additonally, I fear that, NOW, that we have set the precedent of "negotiating" with known terrorists, it will snow ball into MORE captures for negotiation. |

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | Well he did campaign saying he would empty and close Gitmo...just didn't think he'd do it by capitulating with terrorists in exchange for a deserter that declared his disdain for the US military in an email shortly before he was "captured". While inprisoned he drank tea and taught his captors to play badminton...while some of his brothers in arms died trying to free him.
This has "really bad idea" written all over it. Forgive my cynical nature...but I'm guessing these fine gentlemen will not be going back with an improved opinion of us...nor will they be grateful for release. They have had plenty of time to plot and plan revenge. And this idiot in chief will no doubt blame someone else if the worst happens and it's learned that any of these guys were involved.

THIS. He should be tried for treason. Of course, Obama gets away with it. |

| A true prisoner of war is one who gets taken from the battle field as a prisoner, not one that walked away from his camp, against orders, in the middle of the night , only to be picked up on the road by the enemy. The real unjustice here is going to be if the Army does not deal with him like they would any other deserter. Oh, but I bet Obama will not hear of that. What this does is make every American all over the world a target, not just the military. I'm sure the Taliban think this is too good to be true. I'm sure they're planning their first kidnapping right now. This was only a smoke screen to get our attention off of the VA scandal. But I'm going to bet the fall out from this prisoner exchange will not hit until we get into the next administration, and Obama will never be blamed. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | I really wonder if there isn't more to this story. These 5 guys sound like very high level Taliban operatives. To me, that is very conspicuous. There are ways of implanting tracking devices in these men without their knowing it. Assuming this is the case, these guys could lead us to many other high level leaders. Maybe this sounds too far fetched, but the level of sophisticated technology that is being used by our intelligence operatives has to be mind-boggling. If these 5 can be tracked, it's not hard to imagine how useful that could prove to be. |

| I have mixed feelings too, definetly not a black and white case of a soldier captured during combat. I do not know the accuracy of this, but it is all over the internet:
SIGN UP FOR UPDATES FROM ALLEN. SUBMIT Bergdahl’s father’s deleted tweet a smoking gun?Share! Share24K Tweet1.8K 131 Email344 Share27.5K Take a look at this tweet from released Army SGT Bowe Bergdahl’s father — which has since disappeared from his account.
Folks, this is either a very bad case of Stockholm Syndrome or something far more nefarious is at stake. Regardless, there is more to this than meets the eye of Obama making a unilateral decision and announcement on a Saturday — when he believes no one is watching.
This is not just going to slip away and we’re not going to get caught up in the emotion of Bergdahl’s release. He wasn’t “captured” — he deserted his assigned post.

Obama would need intelligence to do this and we all know Obama doesn't have any intelligence and has himself surrounded by a ship of fools. |

This turns my stomach..
I watched the press conference with is parents and after all of the BS...They said they hadn't spoken with their son. Really? This throws up red flags to me. The father said it's going to be a slow process to let their son get use to being home and they don't know if he can even speak English anymore. Sounds like an excuse and this family is dysfunctional. Any mother I know would have been on a plane to Germany to see their son. |
