Guardian: Reports the following, " Some Republicans are portraying Bergdahl as disloyal, questioning the patriotism of his father and have claimed the president's decision to swap him for the five Taliban fighters – previously held at Guantánamo Bay – was an unlawful move that has endangered the lives of Americans. "
Lets Get Real:
After Libya one would have thought that the Oval would have been more careful when it comes to using foreign policy as a political tool, one can assume that those that were released will be back on the battlefield within a short period of time, the PR value to the Taliban will be great, it will show from their perspective that they have won, that the US like the USSR is on the way out of Afghanistan, forced out by the Taliban. The truth and Afghanistan is never the final chapter, the US public is weary of the War, it seems to the US voter that the US has not gained from its presence, the Afghan Government is corrupt, the rights of women is under constant threat, the people want to be on the winning side. Thus another poliitcal and foreign policy disaster for Obama.
