Unless we now have a mole in one or more of the detainees we traded. If that's the case then the trade makes perfect sense and we may never know. We should never know.

At any rate I'm rapidly growing tired of all the simpletons who have been jumping to conclusions and reveling in it for the last few days. So many of my fellow countrymen are so dumb and easily manipulated it's depressing.

We don't know what is going on in the background, the reason why this went down the way it did, might be something the Pentagon won't and can't tell us.

It could be, or not. Why are you so eager to believe it is?

I dunno a few thousand news sources are saying this guy is a deserter. Eager no, actually if you look back on page one of this thread I was eager to be thrilled about the news one of our POWs was released. Unfortunately three days later there's a turd in the punch bowl.

His dad is the most peculiar thing to me. Marching him out in front of the public was weird.

No one is eager it's just facts that we have a blundering idiot sitting in the White House. A idiot that does not feel laws apply to him, this is all a very dangerous combination.

Honestly, I haven't been following it, I've been ridiculously busy the last couple of days, doing a ton of work to my work truck and cycling group stuff.

I just did some reading up. I didn't realize six guys had been sent to "rescue" this guy. Looks like a terribly botched "Saving Private Ryan" with a disappointing ending sort of deal.

Dang it.

Yeah, this story is changing every hour. Did you see his father speaking in the Rose Garden yet?
