Indeed it is. Five jihadists are now free to return to killing Infidels, chiefly the American troops in Afghanistan, and an American Muslim soldier is free to do dawah and spread claims of Muslim victimhood.
“Taliban’s Mullah Omar celebrates prisoner-swap ‘victory,'” BBC, June 1, 2014:
Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar has issued a rare public statement hailing the exchange of five Guantanamo Bay detainees for a Taliban-held US soldier as a “big victory”.
Sgt Bowe Bergdahl, 28, was handed to US forces in Afghanistan on Saturday.
US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel has defended the exchange amid criticism Congress was not given 30 days’ notice before the detainees were released.
He said the US had to act quickly to save the soldier’s life.
Mullah Omar, who has made no public appearances or speeches since fleeing Afghanistan in 2001 when US-led forces toppled the Taliban after the 9/11 attacks in the US, said: “I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the entire Afghan Muslim nation.”
The Afghan government, which was not informed of the deal until after the exchange had taken place, has condemned it as a breach of international law.
Sgt Bergdahl, who is said to be in good condition and has been flown to Germany for more treatment, was the only US soldier being held by the Taliban in Afghanistan.

As I said in another post’s comment section, the backstory and coming developments on this are likely to be huge. We have seen the cliché expression tip of an immense iceberg.
Please remind your federal and state elected officials of what a strategic disaster it is for US security AND our remaining troops in Afghanistan.
If you call the senator or congressman’s office, be sure to ask to speak to the chief of staff or head admin — not a clueless overworked intern.
And for those who ( understandably )want to stay completely anonymous, remember that faxes sent from a retail business like Kinko’s are thoroughly untraceable to you personally. Just load your copy card by cash.

Afghan Hounds,
You are proof that even Jews can dwindle to savagery, given enough time and coran.

The times are dark in this former Republic of the United States. Can it get darker? It is like being stabbed a thousand times and still remaining alive. How many more before the end mercifully comes?
CGW says
Hmmm.
Those 5 just might be sporting implantable GPS tracking microchips, to lead us to the hideouts.
Isn’t that what the Israelis do?
WVinMN says
Too clever by half! Obama sports an average intellect at best, and even if he had the best interests of the US at heart (which he NEVER has), our intelligence agencies would never act that…well, intelligent!
CGW says
C’mon, maybe the shadow government operatives got to ’em in time? 😉
Hey, WV, where are you in MN? Alarmed Pig Farmer and I are in Eden Prairie. (We’re not related, though.)

It’s “Mind Boggling,” what to do, when your own President, Blatantly, without consulting Congress, pulls this Devious Crap! Those Terrorist are Pure Evil, and WILL Strike Again! They’ve had plenty of time, To plan an attack, and most likely have already done so. I can’t believe everyone just sits there! It’s past time to Speak Up! Seeing this Evil, and not saying anything is EVIL. Complacency, and fear of being labeled “Racist,” or “Bigot,” is what the Muslims count on, and is exactly what will get us “Be-Headed!” I’m almost 70 years young, and “scared to death,” but I will Speak Up and, and Fight, with my last breath! I’d rather be called names, than be DEAD! REVEAL REBEL REVIVE

From the article:
“Mullah Omar, who has made no public appearances or speeches since fleeing Afghanistan in 2001 when US-led forces toppled the Taliban after the 9/11 attacks in the US, ….”
And now he is starting to give public speeches because thanks to our inept govt, he is feeling safe. Pretty soon there will be public appearances of him too!…. And he will be safe.

I doubt very much that this soldier was a captive of the Taliban.
Seems like he was very much their honoured and welcomed guest.
EYESOPEN says
He was not “held captive”. These savages do not hold real American soldiers “captive” for 5 years. They normally torture and murder them in their normally savage way.
duh_swami says
Hegel said they had to act fast, his life was at risk…They have been half fast for several years. And all of a sudden there is this concern? Hummm There is a lot more to this story than we are being told, but if Allah is involved, you know it is not straight forward.

What this Obama is doing to this country is unbelievable
What Is more surreal is we allow it to continue.
Wayne says
“Through continued association with this dear man I rescued, I have rediscovered my roots and am becoming a follower of Islam. (0 repeats the shahada) I urge America to follow The Religion of peace!” (I expect this after the 2014 elections. – One more finger into the eye of America. )
Isabellathecrusader says
So let me get this straight…we traded one jihadi for five jihadis? Huh? To me this looks like either way, the jihadis win. But in Obamaland circa 2014, I could be missing something. After all, he’s working diligently to get us more jobs, right?
Fantail1952 says
A much more even trade should have been made!
Five Taliban terrorists for a single army PFC? We should have forced them to also take one muslim president as well….
Elisheva14 says
Terrorist releases are a bad bad policy, especially as a swap. It should never ever be done. It is suicide!!!!
