Bullcrap...let's play whatif...Obama turns down secret deal with Taliban for the release of an American soldier in exchange for 5 taliban captives at Gitmo citing price too high!..word gets out -it always does- do I need to tell you the reaction from the Fox talking out of their asz heads..or the total outrage from the rightwing nuts...OBAMA LEFT AN AMERICAN SOLDIER IN THE BATTLEFIELD...OUTRAGEOUS...IMPEACH HIS ASZ..
Let the full story play out and if he is a deserter throw his asz in the brig for life...if he's whacky and needs treatment give it to him..just don't sent him to the VA...and we'll let the drones take out those taliban guys..

Hey at least the released terrorists will have a safe place to go - Iraq !

Now that was a Trillion dollars well spent. Mission accomplished.:zz:

I thought dumya cleaned up Iraq..not so:eek: cleaned it up for the enemy:wf

The only cleaning done in Iraq was cleaning out taxpayers pockets. Both parties are at fault.

It would be awesome to safely vacay in Qatar and Iraq. I would even kinda fit in. (I'm half Lebanese) I would just need to learn arabic and make sure no one knew I was American.

Jim is right, party politics aren't going to solve this. Having any regard for what the spin machines say or do wont either. Someone is going to have do something DECISIVE for a change and fix this. Obama said he was going to fix this, and here we are 6 years later and all this administration is doing is helping the proliferation of the enemy of our peace. The previous administrations money motives fostered what should be an inexcuseable relationship with Saudi Arabia and Dubai. In this great liberal Obama era "TOLERANCE" is what is in style right now. I guess that means tolerance of terrorist as well.

Every war we have ever fought, we have had prisoner exchanges. This is probably no different.
It kills me that some necons have sand in their privates over this.
This playing of politics is so far beyond old its absolutely ridiculous.

I'll trade you Baltic Ave for Boardwalk :D

I would give you post of the year but I did realize you were 1/2 Lebanese so that just can't happen .

RoR...I know you are a good dude ! just bustin ! Hell even Morty likes you.

Josef Goebbels, Adolf Eichmann, Joseph Mengele and Heinrich Himmler for Private Forest Gump. ;)

Horrible trade indeed HOWEVER we ALL know if it wasn't made you would be the first person to post how Obama failed the military by leaving a member behind. Win / Win for you Dell.

You're kidding?

I don't give a rat's azz for this deserter...

But I must wonder how much Mexico is asking for Andrew Tahmooressi, a U.S. Marine?

Or is that why the southern border is wide open?

5 million illegals for a Marine?

This reminds me of the Gasol trade.

Please continue to defend this clown.

Thanks Kev. I get DQed again out of a win!!!!! WTF!!!!

Ba$tards!

Lebanese are the good guys...the Syrian guy is a bad guy:p
...hey golfer..kifik sadeek:)

Hopefully we can get back to the substance of the discussion now that Team Blue has had their chance to tell us how horrible George Bush and his cronies were (and we are all shocked!!!, no one has never seen/read/heard this before!!!) , and how important it is to get it's news from Jon Stewart.

In rebuttal, Team Red will surely sh1t up another 2 pages of this thread defending their team (by swerving the discussion to illegal immigrants/denying healthcare for the poor/ensuring the rich get richer)... but in the interim, maybe the adults can actually discuss recent developments.

Bowe Bergdahl and the pathologizing of dissent - an interesting read:

Dan, the Adults are all in The Charles Hatton Reading Room :p

Respectfully... will he be doing anything about ISIS?

With respect also I offer this short comment.

BUSH and two battle ships to the Persian Gulf..Iran:zz: has has offered help..Iran has majority of Shiites...same as Iraq...Those photos are sickening but stories like that are part of the list of reasons Bush2 used to invade a sovereign country - Iraq-..If Obama invades Iraq i will be first in line screaming impeach his asz...and don't forget WHO started this shiit...
