We should all be grateful that Mr. Bolton had nothing to do with negotiating the end of WWII. Neocons do not negotiate – I’m sure the family will have to listen to the same kind of exploitation of their loved one from the Bush crazies that the Benghazi families are listening to.
Perpetual War … the goal of the military industrial complex that runs this country.

The Iran-Contra Affair – 1986-1987
One of the most complicated and intrigue-filled scandals in recent decades, the Iran-contra affair dominated the news for many months. It consisted of three interconnected parts: The Reagan administration sold arms to Iran, a country desperate for materiel during its lengthy war with Iraq; in exchange for the arms, Iran was to use its influence to help gain the release of Americans held hostage in Lebanon; and the arms were purchased at high prices, with the excess profits diverted to fund the Reagan-favored “contras” fighting the Sandinista government in Nicaragua.
It was a grand scheme that violated American law and policy all around: Arms sales to Iran were prohibited; the U.S. government had long forbidden ransom of any sort for hostages; and it was illegal to fund the contras above the limits set by Congress.

There are times when “doing peace” is more important than standing on principle. Thani has a good reputation of working with difficult groups to resolve diplomatic issues successfully. It seems he there are steps that have been put in place to mitigate having the terrorist being exchanged going right back to their Taliban positions in Afghanistan. And based on the deal it looks like Qatar is taking the risk of managing that mitigation for one year. In exchange an American comes home. This seems like a problem that has been solved with reasonable mitigation and an American life saved.

Prediction: this soldier will be found out to be a deserter and more interested in releasing Guantanamo prisoners than in winning the war he signed up to fight (you know, the “good war” your insipid president supported). This is the kind of soldier for which he would trade three Guant hard cases.

That would be a recommendation, not a prediction. But no one expects an American lib with a Grievance Studies background to know the difference.
Turns out your Mr. Romney was correct about Russia. Your insipid president’s naiveté alienates your friends and encourages your enemies. War is coming.
arc99 June 1st, 2014 at 8:56 pm
Grievance studies? With the incessant whining from the right wing about everything from tweets by MSNBC staffers to the Obama daughters school lunch menu, I would say that right wingers have not only cornered the market on greivance studies, they dominate the faculty and write the curriculum.
Mr. Romney’s insipid bluster about Russia was hardly “right” in terms of realistic foreign policy. Our allies in western Europe import most of their natural gas from Russia. If Putin turns off the gas, our NATO allies freeze next winter.
Campaign bumper stickers are cheap. How many trillions of dollars should we spend to that we can look “tough”. How many men and women in our military and innocent civilians do you want to sacrifice?
War is coming? Yeah right. the polls are skewed and Romney will win in a landslide.
Keep those right wing predictions coming. Even an old calendar is correct every 5 or 6 years.
EstebanCafe June 1st, 2014 at 9:29 pm
Sorry, I must have stuttered. “Grievance Studies” refers to your navel-lint gazing studies focused on checking your white privilege–when it should be focused on checking your victimhood.
Mr. Romney was exactly correct and stated the obvious–USA should export gas to Europe, Mr. Putin loses his leverage. Why is this so hard for you to see ? Ah yes: your Grievance Studies background. When I interview Americans I try to avoid such graduates…weak in the mind, but strong in the illogic.
“Campaign bumper stickers are cheap” ? I don’t know what you refer to. “Sacrifice” of military people ? What Red Herring are you serving up ? Deal with the foreign policy questions and stop the obfuscation.

EstebanCafe June 1st, 2014 at 8:43 pm
Sir, it might have been wise to vet the vet better than Mr. Obama was vetted, for example. If this soldier turns out to be a turncoat, what does that say about Obama’s Administration ? Care in foreign matters concerns more than the man’s parents.
This is understandable: the man’s parents were not consulted when he was sent to war; they accept, de facto, that he should be traded for hardened killers soon to put back on the terrorist street (cf the host of Guant paroles who are ‘back in the fight’).
In short, I’d be happy to call them with the “bigger picture” that apparently eludes this administration.
Budda June 1st, 2014 at 8:54 pm
You are doing a lot of assuming or is it fantasizing? You wouldn’t be basing all this on talk radio or could you cite some reliable source?
EstebanCafe June 1st, 2014 at 9:20 pm
Sir, I’m making a recommendation. Question: if the situation (he’s a deserter; the 5 Taliban are likely to return to the battlefield; etc) turns out as I suggest it will, is this a good trade ? The circumstances surrounding Bergdahl’s capture by the Taliban are murky. Did he desert? Did he wonder off base drunk? Was he simply lagging behind his patrol, as he has claimed? We don’t know for certain. Ergo, USA should vet him more thoroughly than Obama was vetted.
But I find it odd that an administration so intent on bringing Bergdahl home did not take substantial action to attempt the rescue of the brave Americans killed while defending your personnel in Benghazi. The Bergdahl rescue lies not in a “no soldier left behind” mentality–pace Benghazi–but in Obama’s moronic desire to gain the trust of the Taliban.
Budda June 1st, 2014 at 10:05 pm
I don’t think it is a recommendation so much as wishful think on your part. Time will tell.

“he praised Allah and spoke Pashto, the language of the Taliban”
Allah is God in Arabic. Christian Arabs praise Allah. The Christian Bible, translated in Arabic, is chock-full of the word Allah.
Pashto is the language of the Taliban? That’s like saying that English is the language of the Ku Klux Klan. Pashto is simply one of the most widespread languages in Afghanistan, spoken by Taliban and non-Taliban alike.
You’re the kind of idiot who probably flies into a rage when you hear Beethoven’s sublime “Ode to Joy”, because it was written in the language of the Nazis.
GT90ford June 4th, 2014 at 8:27 am
Pashto is a dialect of Arabic, one of more than 30. I lived and worked in the Mid-East for 17 years, I know of 6 other than Classic Arabic, which I learned while there. I don’t know that much about translating Arabic words in to English print, but I can type it on an Arabic keyboard. Arabic may be the best use of phonics I have ever witnessed.
Of course Christin Arabs call God Allah, but it’s the Christian God. Have you read the Qur’an, it was mandatory for us when we entered the country. Karl Marx based his beliefs on Socialist values, then expanded them into near communism. Marx also quoted, “If you have a need to control the people, first take their weapons, then take over their schools. But above all else, prepare them for poverty, then extinguish their hopes by eliminating all religion. They will eventually come to you for food and drink.”
Sounds a lot like Obama, doesn’t it? Which if you were taught your history correctly, that is exactly what Hitler did, yep, Hitler was a Progressive. Although he successfully deceived his people, afterwards, he was at least honest about what he told them. Not so here.

President Obama was vetted thoroughly. If you choose to believe the RW allegations that he wasn’t, that is your failing.
I wonder if you think Netanyahu could not understand “the big picture”, as you so condescendingly put it, when he agreed to a prisoner swap with Hamas for the life of one Israeli soldier.
EstebanCafe June 2nd, 2014 at 12:49 pm
By whom was he vetted ? Your country was in stitches over his birth certificate for years. His grades were pulled like wisdom teeth.
As to prisoner exchanges, Netanyahu is a fool to continue to negotiate with terrorists. Sure, it’s good for the one man, but only encourages more kidnappings. Here’s CNN’s take on it:
The
sense of pride expressed by officials of the Obama administration at the
release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is not shared by many of those who served
with him — veterans and soldiers who call him a deserter whose “selfish act”
ended up costing the lives of better men.
“I was pissed off then and I am even more so
now with everything going on,” said former Sergeant Matt Vierkant, a member of
Bergdahl’s platoon when he went missing on June 30, 2009. “Bowe Bergdahl
deserted during a time of war and his fellow Americans lost their lives
searching for him.”
Vierkant said Bergdahl needs to not only
acknowledge his actions publicly but face a military trial for desertion under
the Uniform Code of Military Justice. . . .
Many of Bergdahl’s fellow troops — from the
seven or so who knew him best in his squad, to the larger group that comprised
the 1st Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th
Infantry Division — told CNN that they signed nondisclosure agreements agreeing
to never share any information about Bergdahl’s disappearance and the efforts
to recapture him. Some were willing to dismiss that document in hopes that the
truth would come out about a soldier who they now fear is being hailed as a
hero, while the men who lost their lives looking for him are ignored.
Many are flocking to social media, such as
the Facebook page “Bowe Bergdahl is NOT a hero,” where they share stories
detailing their resentment. . . . Emails reported by the late Michael Hastings
in Rolling Stone in 2012 reveal what Bergdahl’s fellow infantrymen learned
within days of his disappearance: he told people that he no longer supported
the U.S. effort in Afghanistan.
IHR June 2nd, 2014 at 1:10 pm
No. RWNJ’s were in stitches over President Obama’s birth certificate. Those of us who are reasoned, thinking adults never believed the RW’s B.S.
No president or presidential contender has ever been required to release their university grades to the public. Or, for that matter, their birth certificates.
Bowe Bergdahl must answer for his actions in a military court.. He doesn’t get a free pass on the lives he endangered or the soldiers who were killed searching for him. His fellow soldiers’ anger towards him is understandable.

Up till now, the United States has never negotiated with terrorists in it’s 238 year history, this is setting a very bad precedent. Obama is the first to do so, and not only being sympathetic toward Islamists (terrorists), this will put other Americans in the same predicament now that we have done it once. And it will happen again till they are all set free to kill Americans, other countries, private citizens…
My release was never successfully negotiated, but as said, I did mange to get away. Unlike Sgt. Bergdahl (and I am very happy he’s home now). The guy looks a hell of a lot healthier than me when did get away, but I was tortured and beaten several times a week for months, then years. I have the scars, broken bones which never healed properly, two gun shot wounds. The first one was in my lower side, luckily it missed anything and was through and through. My medical treatment? They threw a role of some tape, tore my clothing to make two bandages. I still have that bullet today.
You get it into your mind that this is the way it’s going to be, and noting anyone can do about it, then deal with it as well as one can possibly under those circumstances.
Unlike the hundreds, if not thousands over the years when captured, he may be the first to damn the US Military. As is usual with Obama, why didn’t he negotiate with money, as the almost always does.
As for your opinion Alan, I do not give a damn what you think, we do not agree on anything. If you said it was raining, I wouldn’t believe you, even if I knew it was. That’s what you’ve done to me over the many years I have heard your stupid arguments which never make any sense, even though you think you do…
I have often said than when Karzi was talking to both sides and taking money from both sides, the their troops we trained begin killing our soldiers in our own camps…It’s time to shut this down and go home. They no longer deserved any help. Can you hear me now…Obama?
