When then-President Barack Obama released five Taliban commanders from the Guantanamo Bay prison in exchange for an American deserter in 2014, he assured a wary public the dangerous enemy combatants would be transferred to Qatar and kept from causing any trouble in Afghanistan.

In fact, they were left free to engineer Sunday’s sacking of Kabul.

No surprise there. I don't think there's any rational person on the planet who didn't believe then, and corroborated now, that those terrorists would go right back to their crimes. Of course, in their world, they commit no crime. It's "jihad."

Another example of Obama's outward efforts to usurp the USA and to portray - without actually saying so - his hatred for our country.

A meme on Facebook has said that 5 of the Taliban leaders were released by Obama. The Fascist Fact Checkers haven't touched the meme yet. I accept it as true. :)

The situation in Afghanistan is ripe for more hostage taking.
