As Twitchy has reported, President Obama ordered the release of five Gitmo detainees to secure the return of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl from his Taliban captors in Afghanistan.

Recently, a tweet was published from the account of Bowe Bergdahl’s father, Robert, which stated a desire to see all Gitmo detainees released:

Here’s the tweet from Bob Bergdahl’s account, which was published May 28 and deleted Saturday night (at the time of publication the deletion of the tweet has not been acknowledged on the account):

@ABalkhi I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners. God will repay for the death of every Afghan child, ameen!—

The tweet had time to generate plenty of controversy before it disappeared:

Wow. This is the father who appeared alongside Obama today. RT @bobbergdahl: I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners.—

So, it seems Bergdahl’s father is sympathetic toward the Taliban at Gitmo. That’s fucking fantastic.—

Top Republicans on the Senate and House armed services committees went so far as to accuse President Obama of having broken the law, which requires the administration to notify Congress before any transfers from Guantanamo are carried out.

“Trading five senior Taliban leaders from detention in Guantanamo Bay for Bergdahl’s release may have consequences for the rest of our forces and all Americans. Our terrorist adversaries now have a strong incentive to capture Americans. That incentive will put our forces in Afghanistan and around the world at even greater risk,” House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard P. McKeon (R-Calif.) and the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, James M. Inhofe (Okla.), said in a joint statement.

Lawmakers were not notified of the Guantanamo detainees’ transfer until after it occurred.

The law requires the defense secretary to notify relevant congressional committees at least 30 days before making any transfers of prisoners, to explain the reason and to provide assurances that those released would not be in a position to reengage in activities that could threaten the United States or its interests.

Before the current law was enacted at the end of last year, the conditions were even more stringent. However, the administration and some Democrats had pressed for them to be loosened, in part to give them more flexibility to negotiate for Bergdahl’s release.

It’s as if Obama is completely ignorant of history.
Back during America’s first war against Islamic foes was raging, Muslim pirates were taking our merchant marines hostage then selling them back to us.
Thomas Jefferson noted that our country’s entire treasury would be depleted if we kept paying so many ransoms.
So he created the US Navy to combat the Barbary Pirates and end this practice.
It worked.
Negotiating with Islamic terrorists does NOT work.

It’s still not clear the circumstances as to how Bergdahl was captured. Of course he’s had a lot of time to think up a good story if it was due to drunkenness (as some accounts suggest.) It has been said that he walked off the post in the company of three Afghan. Frankly, I wouldn’t rule out stupidity either, as I’ve certainly known people who did very stupid things that got them in very bad trouble.

What is very disturbing is who the Obama administration released to getBergdahl.

Exchange of Idaho soldier for Taliban detainees sets off debate

The five transferred Taliban were identified as Mohammad Fazl, Mullah Norullah Noori, Mohammed Nabi, Khairullah Khairkhwa and Abdul Haq Wasiq. The possibility of their exchange for Bergdahl had long been rumored, but U.S. officials said it was only a week ago that the detail resulting in Saturday’s exchange seemed likely. Obama during his televised remarks said he had thanked the emir of Qatar for his assistance in working on Bergdahl’s release earlier this week.

Four of the five Guantanamo detainees were senior Taliban officials when that movement governed Afghanistan. Fazl was the Taliban’s deputy defense minister when he was captured by U.S. forces. Norullah Noori was the Taliban’s governor of Balkh Province. Khairkhwa was the Taliban governor of Herat. Wasiq was the Taliban’s deputy minister of intelligence.

Fazl, Noori and Wasiq were among the first to arrive for detention at Guantanamo on Jan. 11, 2002. Khairkhwa was transferred there months later on May 1, 2002.

Nabi, who is also known as Mohammed Nabi Omari, arrived at Guantanamo in October of 2002. He has denied being a senior member of the Taliban. According to a secret U.S. assessment, he told American interrogators that he had left the Taliban in early 2002 and had become an informant for a CIA operative he knew only as “Mark.”

According to the assessment, which was part of a trove of documents released by the WikiLeaks website, Nabi Omari said he was arrested Sept. 14, 2002, by American troops when he arrived for a meeting with “Mark.”

A very unbalanced trade to be sure, and one that would very likely make the Taliban leadership stronger. I’m actually surprised that the leaders of Afghanistan did not object to the return of former Taliban leaders of the nation. Some like the Daily Kos are complaining that Republicans have been bad mouthing Bergdahl, yet, how can we ignore what one of the left’s own favored magazines had to say after reading his emails:

Published accounts, especially a Rolling Stone report on Bergdahl’s emails home, suggest that the soldier willingly walked away from his unit soon after arriving in Afghanistan.

Rolling Stone cited emails in which Bergdahl told his parents he was “ashamed to even be American” and had lost faith in the mission. He also hinted at desertion, according to the report, and mailed home boxes of personal belongings such as uniforms and books. Bergdahl reportedly wrote that the “future is too good to waste on lies.”

It sounds to me like Obama made a very poor deal yet, given his deplorable foreign policy record and his willingness to bend over backwards for our enemies, it doesn’t surprise me.

What has been done to help Merriam Ibrahim, her newborn baby girl, and 20 month old boy being held in a Sudanese prison for her Christian Faith? The children are Americans. Why are we not moving Heaven and Earth to get them out? How about American Pastor Saeed Abedini imprisoned in Iran? Why aren’t we helping him come home? What POSITIVE press would be generated for the administration if they secured the release of this woman and her American children and American Pastor Abedini!

Wow…

Can we please impeach this traitorous, pro-muslim piece of sewage now?

Then try him for treason and deliver the appropriate punishment for his anti-American acts.

Trading 5 taliban leaders for a single American just made US soldiers.more of a target. Removing those 5 taliban vermin in the manner he did is against the law. He really does think he is emperor, and it is beyond time for him to be removed via impeachment.

“On June 27th, he sent what would be his final e-mai­ to his parents. It was a lengthy message documenting his complete disillusionment with the war effort. He opened it by addressing it simply to “mom, dad.”

“The future is too good to waste on lies,” Bowe wrote. “And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong. I have seen their ideas and I am ashamed to even be american. The horror of the self-righteous arrogance that they thrive in. It is all revolting.”

This was part of the last email Bergdahl sent to his parents before he disappeared. Add to that his father saying he wants all Gitmo detainees released, and pay attention to the second line of the email; close attention.

Did Obama trade a traitor for five radical jihadists? Seems the mil blogs are pretty much in concert that is what happened. How many Americans will now die in Afghanistan because Obama released the worst of the worst?

I think that this administration has managed quite well to initiate a scandal with every thing it has touched. Wait, maybe we will find out that M Obama is using DDT on her vegetable garden!

What if the obama administration offered Robert Bergdahl a deal that if Robert would say he is working to get all Gitmo prisoners released, obama will trade some terrorists for Robert’s son? It wouldn’t surprise me if this happened.

obama told ALL terrorists around the world that if they capture Americans, they can get at least 5 terrorists released from Gitmo. Could this be a plan to get ALL prisoners released from Gitmo like obama said he was going to do? Why else would he make such a deal, knowing what WILL happen next?

Seems to be a good deal all around. The Taliban get five of their senior leaders back, to kill or capture more Americans. The government of Qatar can, of course, be trusted, based on their ability to fix World Soccer Cup matches. And the Big Zero has a new speech writer, who can join him in making the United States into the focus of evil in the world.
The Taliban supporters in the WH, Susan Rice, Huma Abedin, all the Muslim assistants, and the Muslim chief Imam, will soon see Taliban ascendancy in the U S.
What’s not to like? So they broke the law. They are the law, so they can’t break the law.
So they gave aid and comfort to enemies. It can’t be treason, because it was in the interest of National Security.
They made some Members of Congress angry? Tough. They won’t do anything about it.
And the lame-stream media will celebrate this as a supreme act of compassion.
Makes me want to puke, though I am all puked out from prior treasonous acts.

TALK IS CHEAP if they don’t follow it with actions,

Smorgasbord
I think so too, by way of his thugs, like PONCE PILATE,
to wash his hands from responsibility of doing it,
without asking CONGRESS AS HE IS SUPPOSE TO DO,
what an exemple to give the people,
showing that everything is okay, laws can be broken, at will,no wonder some
are doing it with despicable crimes and get away with it,

Has Bowe Bergdahl mentioned anything about the U.S. soldiers who were killed while trying to find and/or rescue him after he walked away from his unit?

FMB42
wow, that”s too bad, FIRST TIME we hear about that one,
thank you for telling us here,

obama doesn’t have an American birth certificate, and is using someone else’s Social Security number, and has a fake Selective Service registration. He has been lying since he was born, wherever he was born.

did I heard well?
14 SOLDIERS DYED, while looking for BERGDAHL,
ONE SEAL JUST SAID THAT 6 WHERE KILLED,

IS IN IT
DOING EXACTLY WHAT HIS SON DID, WHEN IS THE BREAKING POINT FOR A FATHER IF HE HAS DECIDED TO JOIN THE ENEMY,
AND FREE THE WORSE TERRORIST ENEMY OF AMERICA,

no matter what, BERGDHAL WILL STILL BE BETTER OFF IN JAIL THAN
WITH THE ENEMY
AS OPPOSE TO THE 6 WHO WHERE KILLED LOOKING FOR HIM,
I THINK HE FOUND THAT UP BY HIMSELF IN HIS 5 YEARS WITH THE TALIBANS,

Smorgasbord

no paper? SO WHAT IS HE DOING THERE?
IS THE PEOPLE POWER LIMITED TO THEIR MOUTH?

DOES OBAMA trying to make friend with terrorist by returning them saying as a good WILL exchange,
BUYING THEIR FRENSHIP WON’T WORK,
AS HE DOES IN THE USA FOR SOME,

@ilovebeeswarzone: #18

no paper? SO WHAT IS HE DOING THERE?

Until recently, not ONE republican looked into the possibility that obama might be an illegal. All they had to do was look at the birth certificate, then compare it to the things the experts said was wrong with it. When not even obama denied using someone else’s Social Security number, that should have sent up a big RED FLAG, but not ONE republican has looked into it. This tells me that the two parties work together to put in office who they want.

SMORGASBORD
maybe they are so comfortable, they hate to be disturbed,
WE NEED NEW BLOOD, AND LESS HUMAN, THEY ARE TOO MUCH PAMPERED BY THE PUBLIC WORKERS HIRED TO BE SERVING THEM,
BYE

@ilovebeeswarzone: #21
Neither the democratic nor republican politicians care about the USA any more. They only care about how much money and power they can get.

Smorgasbord
I’m starting to believe you,
they have access to money, that’s where the money, and the jobs are,
is, that’s why they are so many are employed there,
while the citizens struggle down below one quater of their pay,
we are starting to pinpoint the exact location of the problem to be eliminate,
like this new congress woman, we must castrate them government agencies like she know to castrate pigs,
and long time sows,
i can visualize them all when she take her seat and take her clipper out, they will freaked out, and we won’t need to get them all out, because they will clear the CAPITOL,
RIGHT AT THE SIZE WE WANT,
NO ACTION, CUT ALL THEM GUTTS WITH HER CLIPPER,
