Hagel: if the Taliban 5 “return to the fight, they will do so at their own peril.”

yah...I'm sure Qatar won't have a problem if the Drone Ranger comes after these five if they misbehave......

Obama was played like a cheap instrument by Qatar.


that seems to be becoming the norm in how the rest of the world relates to Obama.  Putin has certainly played Obama like an entire orchestra of cheap instruments.

considering that the head of the snake - Obama - is abysmally stupid, this simply stands to reason.

so transparent and straightforward that he fully informed Congress of the deal as required by law - oh, wait, he didn't, and neither did his boss.  I don't think those words mean what he thinks they mean.

Hagel sticking w/language that risk from freed Taliban "substantially mitigated." Hillary Clinton says "not a threat." She's out on a limb.

McKeon to Hagel - We were told months ago if you started up these Taliban negotiations again we would be notified, we weren't.

Hagel throws Obama under bus over Bergdahl
White House tried to pin swap scandal on Defense chief
Published: 29 mins ago

WASHINGTON –Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel apparently isn’t going to let the Obama administration throw him under the bus in the Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl scandal. In fact, you could say just the opposite.

In his opening statement this morning at a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee, Hagel made a point of saying it was President Obama “who made the final decision” to swap Bergdahl for five top Taliban leaders, with the full support of his national security team.

Another amusing little quote from Hagel, courtesy of the article:

Quote
Hagel also told the committee, “President Obama received a personal commitment in a personal telephone call from the emir of Qatar to uphold and enforce the security arrangements and a final decision was made to move forward with that exchange on that day.”


I.e., the fox gave his personal word to the farmer that he wouldn't harm a single feather on a single chicken if the farmer let him guard the hen house.

Hagel doesn't want to verify WHO was actually holding Bergdahl. States he will discuss the report in closed hearing.

What’s with the calmness? Are our elected representatives that out of touch? Have they lost their outrage meters? Do they give a “damn?"




Yep...there is absolutely no outrage by anyone here...what a waste of time...
