They are wanted for crimes against humanity by the UN War Crimes Tribinal...
some examples - beheading 10 & 16 yr old boys on suspicion that they were spies, murdering those who attended a mixed gender party, executing a 15 yr old girl in Pakistan who had spoken out in favor of education for women.
yeahhh, just garden variety "prisoners of war" as part of an everyday, wartime prisoner swap..... :wallbash: . And POTUS has no regrets & no apologies, appearing very defiant to all.
Great precedent you have set, BHO. What do you have in store for us next as part of the remaining lame duck time of your Presidency? I can't wait to find out.....

So I see the guy's father last week tweeted that there won't be justice til all the Guantanamo dudes are released.
Then the first words out of his mouth at the White House was about Allah being great and yada yada...and Obama was smiling?
Holy crapballs. I'm just catching up on this, but I pray for our military to stay sane. We just traded away 5 of the top guys for a deserter who lambasted the military, renounced his American citizenship, got a platoon killed, has his father clamoring for the release of all his brother Taliban prisoners, and then is hosted by the Commander in Chief at the White House where he is admired for his Islamic praise....AFTER...everything else. What are the odds Obama can recite a Hail Mary without a teleprompter.
What a sh!t day.
Great points you have added, what a craptastic day - and I think we can all agree that in no way does Bob Bergdahl's long robe offer homage to ZZ Top......far from it, I would surmise.
-
Aside from the rampant speculation about Bergdahl's possible desertion and possible collaboration with the Taliban (read the eyewitness accounts of his platoon mates who have come forward with knowledge that subsequent Taliban/Haqqani IED strikes were carried out with unprecedented, pinpoint, deadly precision; indicative of an inside job), the following unsettling facts have come to light in the last 48 hours:
- our commander in chief violated the law he pushed by failing to provide the House/Senate committees 30 days notice of his intent to broker the swap;
- he naively thought he'd create a PR coup by staging the phony "hero's welcome" in the Rose Garden with Bergdahl's parents....this has blown up in his face. Maybe he should have staged a similar ceremony honoring the family of a loved one who died while awaiting treatment at a VA Hospital....oops, that would not have the desired effect and would not be politically expedient;
- this prisoner/deserter swap with the Taliban dream team of top 5 was done coincidentally right on the heels of the VA fiasco and resulting firestorm - regardless of one's opinion of Bergdahl, he is a political pawn, a court jester in Monarch Obama's fiefdom.
- the naivete and utter arrogance of Obama's disregard for the rule of law is beyond shocking and is now (and has been for some time) clearly impeachable;
- he has set a very deadly & dangerous precedent by showing the U.S, (at least under his Administration) is open for business in negotiating with the Taliban - expect more hostage and ransom activity to take place, and Americans abroad to be put in harm's way because of the actions of Barry's political agenda
- Obama brazenly, and, again, naively admitted that the freed Taliban Dream Team would very likely return to active hostile action. Video was shown of the being welcomed as heroes as if they had scored a coup, which they clearly have
Flame away as I am sure those here on the Left will do - I am beyond disgusted by the shameless, careless actions of this President.
- our commander in chief violated the law he pushed by failing to provide the House/Senate committees 30 days notice of his intent to broker the swap;

Matt Hackett never left the arena and will return to Buffalo with the team. #sabres
will he return to Buffalo with the team or not? If he never left the arena, that sounds very bad....
-
hey Rayzor - "acrost" is not a word, just a heads up
-
freaking 55 to 23. That is outrageous. Neuvirth deserved better with a 94.3% SV percentage. He should be suing for abandonment.
-
Mike Milbury is a wash up and a failure, both in life and in hockey, which is why he is on NBC and not in a front office somewhere. The epitome of an empty suit. Every coherent sentence the comes out of his mouth that is hockey related confirms he is a total @$$hat
you are mistaken that anything which comes out of mouth is coherent
-
-
completely BS call - if anything it could have been a slash, which it wasn't even ....crap call, that ref thought he saw something
-
He sucked the other night ... and chokedthe big time on that shot. and now he got taken out by the freakin goalie. What a slug!
sorry, he played a helluva lot better tonight. Can't fault him for getting clipped by the goalie while he was going for the puck. I don;t think you watched the same Stewart everyone else did tonight.
-
Stewart is useless.
please elaborate .... because he missed on a breakaway ??
-
tank or no tank, you really have to admire how this team is playing = all in
- Myers
- Enroth
- Foligno
- the Nolan effect (I hope TM now gets the contract signed by Nolan)
- Myers
-
Rayzor just said Foligno has the "whereabouts" to pick up the puck and clear.....uhhh, that would be wherewithal Rob..... :wallbash: , but you knew that, right ?

Craig Custance from ESPN weighs in with his trade grades - A minus for both MIN & BUF
http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/craig-custance/post?id=1639
I took note of what he wrote about Moulson and, sadly, this speaks to the reasons I wish we could have kept him - or will get him back.......
Of all the rental wingers available, Matt Moulson might be the best fit for a contender. Thomas Vanek has higher-end skill, but teams really like the way Moulson plays.
“He’s what I’d really like to be looking for,” one interested general manager said earlier this week. “He goes to the hard areas.”
That’s not necessarily the case for some of the other wingers. Moulson’s production dropped when he left John Tavares' wing, but whose wouldn’t?
“[He’s a] natural goal scorer,” one NHL scout said following the trade to Minnesota. “Ideally needs someone to get him the puck. Good down low around the crease.”
The Wild are currently No. 25 in the NHL in scoring, averaging 2.36 goals per game. Bringing in a 30-goal scorer definitely helps the cause. He’s a guy teammates love, was close with Tavares, and should have no problem acclimating to his third team this season.
-
I spotted this gem on CNNSI, with a good read on his backhand and puck skills
-
Nic Deslauriers is also a good prospect. So we got two good prospect, Deslauriers is close to the NHL level.
Agreed, I trust TM has done his homework on Fasching and Deslauriers.
-
So Brayden McNabb gone and 2 2nd rounders gone for two prospects. I wonder who the other prospect is? Guessing they weren't too high on McNabb for the future!

re: the bolded, the Sabres are loaded for bear on the back end, and have enough in the tank to swing a deal, hence the trade w./ LA
-
McNabb to LA for 2 2nd round pick, Fasching & Deslaurier coming back, pending trade call
-
??
please elaborate
just saw your reference to Mayor's Manor, sorry
-
I hope so because this has been quite boring as of now. I just don't know if there is any teams that actually want Halak!
I wouldn't move Myers unless the players coming back is mind blowing. Myers 3 point game the other night looked like his rookie year. He has improved greatly this year from the last 2 seasons.
Saw a tweet on TSN that the Flyers might be interested in Halak
-
Brayden McNabb to Los Angeles
??
please elaborate
-
I just realized I just made my 1,000th post here .....on trade deadline day no less; I am feeling pretty big today - -- :flirt:
-
Being sstingy with Halak has probably already blown up in our face.
And we should hang on to Stewart because even though we know one Drew Stafford on the team is bad, obviously two Drew Staffords is good. Like two wrongs making a right.
Do you think expecting more than a 4th for Halak is being stingy ?
-
TSN/Craig Button just called Buffalo the "epicenter" of this year's trade deadline....we shall see
(OT) Confirmed: Bowe Bergdahl for five Taliban leaders at Gitmo
in The Aud Club

that's about it, except maybe the SS for a deserter
Gee, I don't know - maybe you're on to something since you went out of your way to mention it
