Bowe Bergdahl; did Obama trade five terrorists for one? (UPDATED)

Watch for Bergdahl at next year's Boston Marathon.

Obama Submits To Taliban Demands, Allows Praise For Allah   
... "At the end of brief event, the soldier’s father, Bob Bergdahl, recited the most frequent phrase in the Koran — “Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim” —which means “In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Compassionate.”

"After Bergdahl finished his statement and his praise for Allah, Obama hugged him.
The Taliban echoed Bergdahl, saying the trade happened “due to the benevolence of Allah Almighty and the sacrifices of the heroic and courageous Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate.' ”

UPDATE from 2010: Captured US soldier has joined our cause, say Taliban
"A Taliban deputy district commander in Paktika province said the 24-year-old American had converted to Islam in the months after his capture. He said Bergdahl, from Idaho’s Sun Valley, had trained Taliban fighters in bomb-making and ambushing convoys. "

Troubling Tweets Supporting Taliban From Father Of Bowe Bergdahl, Soldier Released By Taliban  Now we know why Bergdahl was not ritually slaughtered as any other American would have been.

"Once again, let’s remind everyone what Obama has now loosed upon the world- 5 murderers who threaten the U.S., according to the DOD/JTF. This included two UN war criminals, and a man who provided intelligence to Al Qaeda prior to 9/11. In the words of terrorism expert, Thomas Joscelyn, “very very bad” men:" ...   Full article here...

Freed U.S. soldier’s father and Taliban praise Allah for prisoner exchange    “ 'In executing this transfer, the President also clearly violated laws which require him to notify Congress thirty days before any transfer of terrorists from Guantanamo Bay and to explain how the threat posed by such terrorists has been substantially mitigated,” said the statement from California Rep. Buck McKeon, and Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe."

Did U.S. trade five jihadists for one jihadist?   "The Taliban claimed in 2010 that Bergdahl had converted to Islam and was teaching bomb-making to its jihadists. His father is a convert to Islam who has called for the release of the jihadists in Guantanamo and has implied that American troops are killing Afghan children." 

Mullah Omar Rejoices, Prisoner Swap “Big Victory” for Global Jihad, Obama promises more concessions    "Anyone in the Obama administration that cops out to “we don’t leave anyone behind” as the reason why they traded an AWOL traitor for five GITMO Taliban leaders is lying. The Obama administration abandoned our people in Benghazi — heroes and patriots — when they needed us most."
..."Obama’s reception at West Point was icy for good reason."

Debbie Schlussel asks, "And it [prompts] the question I already raised earlier today: did Bowe Bergdahl convert to Islam? It’s weird that an American would be unable to communicate in English after a few years in Taliban captivity or that American’s father communicates with him in Arabic, NOT the language of the terrorists who held his son for five years, but the language of the religion in the name of which they held him."

The military blog Blackfive declares, "President Obama Has Some 'Splainin to Do"  "And Barry is going to be explaining this for some time to come.  If I was Jay Carney, I would have quit my job too rather than stand in front of anyone with press credentials and try to explain this as a "victory" for us.  It isn't.  It is a defeat at our own hands.  Barry will likely spend much of his time hiding out from this."
