Obama defends Bowe Bergdahl swap

President Obama defends his decision to swap imprisoned terrorists for the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.

[ReturndUC]

Nothing like setting terrorists free for a piece of trash

[OneNewAtheist]

Paying ransom (in money, prisoners, or whatever other form the ransom takes) is foolish.

[qindynamic]

you'd better resign for this shameful action. obama.

[lucascalvert]

I am all for getting every man and women in uniform home, however if you are a deserter, you forfeit that right because you are no longer a soldier, but a traitor. so to get a deserted back, we traded 5 high priority Taliban leaders..dang

[jod]

The US should of traded Obama for Sgt. Bowe, would of been honorable and also a win -win situation:)

[imthisislizlee]

Yes... leave no man behind.... but what ever happened to not negotiating with terrorists? We're so gung-ho about that, and then this happens? Just makes the US look stupid...  so disappointed...

[meowfox]

Then help the Marine who is in a Mexican jail, who took the wrong turn late at night and IS BEING SHACKLED

[pianoman]

We get two traitors for the release of 5 Taliban. Wow.

[C--Hercules]

Obozo the Clown. Giving aid and comfort to the enemy since 2008.

[alwaysask]

"My VA recent poop means I have to try to regain some confidence from the military by putting out even greater crap, people!"

[lawrenceleverton]

And it starts all over again. Paying for hostages. Thanx Joe. Now the Prisoners who were swapped are in Charge.

[MantisGaming]

American don't negotiate with terrorists

[spidasilva]

Coward! He should be tried for treason and if found guilty should hung publicly!

[elite]

Tell your old VP this he’s fucking everything up

[JazzKeyboardist]

don't get ptsd until you are discharged,

[StinkMonkee]

"American held prisoner five years released" SOUNDED GREAT!
Until the details came out. Smells like shit now.

I totally oppose the decision of a swap, whether it was this LIMP, LAME LIAR who made it, or his handler.

[taniakezell]

I agree of getting our man back BUT I DO NOT agree with the 5 Taliban swap. That was a VERY deadly move for the American people and an injustice to our service men who died to find this man. Not counting the lives that the Taliban took when 911 happened and the service men of ours who lost their lives to get the 5 Taliban men. This is really bottom line somewhat of a disgrace to all true Americans.

[wesleyogilvie]

What the hell is this country waiting for? Let's impeach this guy already!

[Larry]

Do you think anything bad could possibly happen to our good honorable solders now serving our country who didn't desert. Because you released those deplorables from GITMO. It definitely doesn't sound like a good decision.

[dragonsb]

I strongly support Obama's decision. Thank you and all the power to you sir.
