If this were intended to be a feel good moment to divert our attention from the plethora of scandals dragging this administration down, it certainly failed. Was this action indicative of sheer arrogance, betrayal, or a case of the biggest tin ear in political history?
From The Patriot Post
"But far worse, writes former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy, “The president has knowingly provided material support to terrorists. More importantly, he has replenished the enemy in wartime by giving the Taliban and Haqqanis back five senior, capable, rabidly anti-American commanders at a time when, as the president well knows, the Taliban and Haqqanis are still conducting violent jihadist operations to kill our troops. This is a shocking dereliction of duty.”
The reaction of Obama’s own party must have been rather surprising since the White House reportedly expected elation and accolades. “This is a happy day. We got one of our own back,” Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel gleefully told U.S. troops at Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan. His cheer was met with deservedly deafening silence."
