Obama is
right when he states the military creed is to leave no one behind
But there is
a higher creed that states the laws of this country the President must mind
The law, Holder
notwithstanding, seems somewhat clear on a Gitmo release
30 days
prior notice to Congress required not an ends justify the means caprice
Five years a
prisoner for Bergdahl is a long time and our hearts to his family go out
But the ends
justify the means cannot justify the law to flout
In exchange
for one American we have released the hardest of the hardcore
Look into
their eyes and you will see the eyes of fanatics thirsting to kill more
The Taliban
Dream Team could well be the American nightmare of this decade
Thoughts
Congress might have weighed in on to dampen the homecoming parade
Five top
terrorists with the blood of thousands on their hands are now in Qatar
Hindered
only by a year of no travel, but probably basking as the new Taliban stars
Free to
raise money, free to recruit, free to jihad urge, and free to revenge on us plot
A year from
now or sooner how many more innocents will be bombed, maimed or shot?
Questions
are already being raised on whether Bowe was captured or did he desert
Strange that
in Afghanistan a soldier would walk off base unarmed knowing he could be killed
or hurt
Not ready to
rush to judgment on this one
As the debriefing
has just begun
Save this
observation that stands out clear and most stark
Once again,
our President defies the law and keeps Congress in the dark.
Once again,
years from now we as a Republic will rue this day,
When an
imperial president growing unchecked defied the law to go his own way.
