And he could prove it too, if not for those pesky laws and prison and such and such. Honestly, really, he could.
Inhofe said Congress could approve funding for surveillance, intelligence, and arms to aid Iraqis against Islamist militants, but the senator said Obama could thwart their plans.Hm, let me just guess what one of those "things" could possibly be?“There’s no assurance the president couldn’t just stall it,” Inhofe said. “People say do something — well, you know, never in my political career in my memory did it ever occur to me that we would have a president of the United States who would be doing things supporting the enemy.”
Well, Obama just recovered our one and only Afghanistan Prisoner of War. This is a War we've been in Longer than any other war in our History, and we only had one - singular - UNO - P.O.W. Now we have him back, so that means there are zero.
If Senator Inhofe's "thought" is that giving of Five Taliban Administrators (except for one they weren't 'Fighters" or "Commanders" with any likelihood of returning to battle) is such a bad precedent that it might make the Taliban think of grabbing more of our people for future trades - how exactly are they going to do that when they've only manage to grab One in the last 13 Years?
At this rate we should be expecting next Taliban hostage trade deal somewhere around the year 2021. And the next in 2029. Of course by then the war will be O.V.E.R. and the point will be moot.
But then again maybe that is the point. Obama made the trade not just to get back Bergdahl, but also to beginning building a bridge of goodwill with the Taliban that might, just might, in the medium to long run help that country broker some type of peace settlement rather than our simply walking away and letting everything go to hell in a hand-basket. Y'know like in that place where Obama just announced we'll be ramping up military activity?
Yeah, in Iraq.
The place where Obama is now moving a Carrier Group into strike position while negotiating with the Iraqis on how much support they want from us help them battle the ISIS insurgency up to and excluding only - putting our own boots on the ground.
Yet accusing Obama of being a squishy anti-American Terrorist Supporter wasn't enough, ole' Jimmy the-Fact-and-Science-Denier had to go one step further.
He had to lay down a threat not just to the President, but the entire nation, by claiming he could prove Obama is a Traitor if only he could release some classified intel.
