Now that is actually an interesting question. Because far from wasting my time here, as in on this forum, me and this forum found each other about the same time and traveled together across three states in just a little more than that years. And this was the most intelligent, stimulating, fun, and amazing place I'd ever encountered in my life. And that's not only why back then I hung around here but also got paid for about half of it.

But that was then. And nothing gold can stay. And this and Clarise is what we are stuck with now.

 

Hey Clarise? How come you always get to ask questions but you are always to gutless and false to answer questions?

 

I'm just wondering when any administration felt it was a good policy to negotiate with known terrorists in any matter ?

 

What!?!?!?????,,I can never remember you winning any debates,,especially with me, after about 4 vollies, you run for the hills, never to be heard from again on that issue, but,, if you rather believe what you want to believe,,that's fine too.

 

if you at any time left your duty station which he is accused of and blew off your 5th general order. To quit my post only when properly relieved. your almost as bad as he

I was in the service and not once did I do what this guy did because I knew if I did then a lot of peoples life could be danger so no I would not be able to validate your statement.
but I was not a REMF

 

Clarridge said Eclipse SITREP # 3023, dated Aug. 23, 2012 -- in which a member of the Haqqani network, said to be close toBergdahl's captors, reported that the American prisoner had declared himself a "mujahid" -- was among the reports provided to Ashley.

The latter is now commanding general at the U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca, where a message left with the public affairs office was not immediately returned.

The documents obtained by Fox News show that Eclipse developed and transmitted numerous status reports on the whereabouts of the errant American soldier, spanning a period from October 2009, roughly three months after Bergdahl reportedly walked off his base in Afghanistan and fell into custody of the Haqqani network, up through August 2012
.
At one point -- in late June 2010, after Bergdahl succeeded in one of his escape attempts -- the Haqqani commanders constructed a special metal cage for him, and confined him to it. At other points, however, Bergdahl was reported to be happily playing soccer with the Haqqani fighters, taking part in AK-47 target practice and being permitted to carry a firearm of his own, laughing frequently and proclaiming "Salaam," the Arabic word for "peace."

 

And I love when the halo slips

 

Nonsense. I post facts. You post attitudes. You never give any indication of learning or understanding.

 

OK,,,DL, wanna go for the knock out round?? teach me, make me understand.

 

I doubt you are capable of understanding.

 

OK. . . .

 

Most of your comments are not worth responding to. They are not debatable points. They have the intellectual content of, "Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah."

 

YEAH,,YEAH,,YEAH,,BLAH,,BLAH,,BLAH...Just admit it,,you can't debate me,,it will be ok.

 

Chris Matthews has zero credibility.

Eric Holder and Obama have even less credibility that Matthews, with that being said, would youhave released these prisoners to get back a deserter as our dear Bowe has been characterized as by his fellow soldiers, or would you have given the ransom that the Taliban first required?

Would you have lied about everything that the administration lied about during the proceeding of the release of the 5 prisoners in exchange for the deserter Bowe?

Would you have even negotiated with the terrorists?

 

That makes very little sense, but then you already knew that.

Some folks are able to apply logical analysis to a chain of events and predict the odds of future events. Maybe I should have said "most", rather than "some".

 

Taliban are not terrorists*, Syrian Rebels are.
?
*Enemy Combatants (with identifiable enough costume)

 

Weirdness.

The Taliban are opposing the established government of Afghanistan. They are working to depose Karzai. They are not an ordered militia.

When Margaret Thatcher said, "We do not negotiate with terrorists," she was not making a point of diction for pedants. She was making stating a guiding principle for humanity.

And you are missing it.

 

What matters is what Colonel Morris Davis, who was the chief prosecutor for terrorism trials at Guantanamo Bay, said. This is what he said, "We could never charge these guys. We had no evidence to charge them.

 

Cart before the horse.
The Taliban of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan are the Wahhabi government of Afghanistan that was disposed by foreign invasion under false pretext; Karzai was an invaders puppet replacement.
The Taliban are an ordered Militia.

 

What false pretext????
