Pentagon Bergdhal Deal Political Criminal Dangerous Taliban

Pentagon Bergdhal Deal Political Criminal Dangerous Taliban | The Daily Caller:
"Here is the truth:
The deal to trade five senior Taliban detainees to secure the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdhal was political.
It was publicly justified with lies, it breaks decades of U.S. policy, it breaks American law, it puts Americans at risk, it undermines the government of Afghanistan, and it passes responsibility on to the next administration.
But first of all, it was political.
But no, it was not to take the spot light off of the failures at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Simply stated, it was because so long as Bergdhal remained in Taliban captivity in Pakistan, the Obama administration would never be able to close the chapter of the failed Afghanistan campaign it has owned since approving — and then under-resourcing — a surge of U.S. forces in the country. "
