Former President Barack Obama has had plenty of failure throughout the years but his biggest one may have just been revealed recently. 5 Guantanamo Bay detainees that President Obama swapped for prisoner of war Bowe Bergdahl have returned to work for the Taliban. Bergdahl also but many American lives at risk with his treasonous behavior.
According to The Daily Wire:
In May of 2014, then-President Barack Obama enthusiastically announced a highly controversial swap of five terrorists detained at a U.S. Military prison in Guantanamo Bay (AKA Gitmo) to the Taliban in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl, an Army sergeant who was suspected of desertion at the time and would later plead guilty to the act.
The five terrorists freed by the Obama administration have since joined the Taliban’s political office in Qatar, confirmed Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid to the Military Times on Tuesday.
The men will “be among Taliban representatives negotiating for peace in Afghanistan,” reports the Military Times, “a sign some negotiators in Kabul say indicates the Taliban’s desire for a peace pact.”
Alternatively, “Others fear the five, all of whom were close to the insurgent group’s founder and hard-line leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, bring with them the same ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam that characterized the group’s five-year rule that ended in 2001 with the U.S.-led invasion,” says the report.
Only time will tell if these former prisoners will work to bring peace to Afghanistan or will return to their terroristic ways. Unfortunately, the latter is an extremely viable option.
