Great move by Obama. Didn't he tell us those that were traded for the deserter weren't a threat?

Quote:The U.S. military and intelligence community now suspect that one of the five Taliban detainees released from Guantanamo Bay in return for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in May of last year has attempted to return to militant activity from his current location in Qatar, CNN has learned exclusively.
The development has led to an ongoing debate inside the administration about whether there is a new threat from this man, and potentially the other four.
This is the first known suggestion that any of the detainees involved in the exchange may be trying to engage again in militant activity. It comes at a politically sensitive time as the administration has quickened the pace of prisoner release in an effort to encourage the closure of the Guantanamo, and the Army must decide in the coming weeks whether and how to punish Bergdahl for leaving his post.
Several U.S. officials across different agencies and branches of the U.S. government have confirmed key details to CNN. The White House referred CNN to the Pentagon, and the Pentagon has declined to comment on the matter.

Even Ray Charles could see this coming and he's both blind and dead.

What's the recidivism rate? 30%? So it was predictable that one or two would rejoin the battle.

Of course, these are the real hardcore guys, so maybe all five will be back on the battlefield.

Guess They enjoyed Their stay at Gitmoland and looking for a way to get back in before it's gone in under 2 years .

One out of the five is "suspected" to have tried.


Read people.

No doubt the White House is applying pressure in the military not to charge Bergdahl with desertion. If this happens, Obama will again have egg on his face.

Can't getta 'Nuff of that funky Stuff !

We'll just wait until one of them actually kills more Americans before we decide to get really upset.

The incompetence is amazing.

Who cares? HiLoLary said they're not threats so they're NOT THREATS!

Why would they get in the way? The American has been rightfully returned - and now it the is job of the Army to properly assess whether or not Bergdahl is guilty of desertion. The Army will follow protocol as they have done for over two centuries, and Bergdahl will be given the same treatment during the Army investigation that anyone else would have.

This is called "social equity". I don't think Obama wants to disrupt the biggest branch of his military.

If the Army convicts him of desertion, Obama looks foolish for trading five high level terrorists for an American deserter. That's especially true since Obama had a White House celebration to announce the deal. And if some of these terrorists are returning to the battle, it gets even worse.

This is just a cluster for Obama. Thankfully, the story will be buried by the msm.

It never ceases to amaze me the crap you guys run with and take as gospel. Here we have what could be a disgruntled employee taking potshots. You have zero proof of anything. Read the article again. It's pure conjecture!

You're right Mach. I'm sure his phone calls to the Taliban were probably just to chat sports and maybe order a new prayer carpet or two.

No sense in getting all stirred up until he actually has more blood on his hands, right?

Maybe he was checking on the value of his 401k. Point is. You don't know!

That's a bit hilarious.

I'm not going to get into the gritty details here. But... I'll guarantee you that every phone call those jokers make is listened to.

Additionally, if it was one or two phone calls and nothing of interest was being said, than this story probably wouldn't have been leaked. The timing of the leak, coinciding with Bergdahl's possible/likely desertion charges...

Ehhhhhh. I'm willing to bet a paycheck there's some fire behind that smoke.

It's amazing the lengths the leftists will go to defend this absolute failure of a president.

An American deserter is still an American. The correct punishment is to be decided by the US Army - as it ought to be.

We ought to consider our own troops - whether good or bad - to be above those of the terrorists.

Five terrorists for one deserter is not remotely close to an even trade. No matter how we try to rationalize it on this end, to the other side it just looks stupid and weak on our part. And that simply emboldens them to do more.

Yes, we bring our troops home and we sacrifice to give them back. That's the western culture's way. The eastern cultures see human life as cheaper than we in the west do. If we want to win, in their country, we probably need to win by their rules. If we don't want to win, then what the hell are we doing there in the first place?
