Asked if this type of swap might embolden other militants to take hostages, Hagel said that this operation was a prisoner exchange. And he said terrorist groups are already kidnapping young school girls, business people and other innocent people.
Hagel declined to say whether he believes Bergdahl was attempting to desert the Army or go absent without leave when he walked away from his unit and disappeared nearly five years ago.
"Our first priority is assuring his well-being and his health and getting him reunited with his family," Hagel said. "Other circumstances that may develop and questions -- those will be dealt with later."Update:
Hagel is delusional if he thinks releasing these five will contribute to long term peace…

Twitchy has this gem from Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's dad Smitty: The World's Youngest Blogger Finds The President's Credibility…
If the argument in favor of this is so strong, why was Hagel unwilling to make it to the Congress?
ReplyDeleteI'm really beginning to wonder if Obama is actually trying to get impeached, in order to mobilize his dispirited political base.
They are desperate to look like they are doing something. But these five have killed thousands and the suggestion they won't go back to killing again is nuts (but that is Chuck Hagel for you).
DeleteThere's the peace of the grave, and I'm sure these fine fellows will contribute to lots of additional people being dead. So there's that.

ReplyDeleteIt's part of a long term effort by both parties to make Congress completely irrelevant.
Bergdahl kind of reminds me of someone.
