If it elevated to the point of probable cause, I would agree with you. Suspicion... no. I know it doesn't look good for him, but if he's guilty, he will be busted down to E-1 anyway.He was suspect of desertion and treason almost immediately according to his platoon critics. You don't need a court martial not to promote someone under suspicion.
This was not a prisoner of war exchange. Obama gave aid and comfort to a terrorist organization by returning five of their top terrorists to the battlefield. In return he received a deserter who probably collaborated with the enemy. The deserter, his commander-in-chief and the attorney general need to be tried, and executed for treason in a time of war.You do know that we've been doing prisoner exchanges with the enemy since the Revolution don't you? If those weren't treasonous acts, if those didn't give aid and comfort to the enemy how is this any different?
And as practical matter you also do understand that no former President will likely ever see the inside of a jail.
We agree. Impeach him. Then arrest him. Then try him.Please, PLEASE attempt to impeach Obama over this.

Why do you believe that? Every law limits executive branch power.
No - let him continue to **** up for the next two years please. Impeaching him only will give the lefty loons more "racist" labels to hand out. Obama and his administration is a walking abortive nightmare for Democrats. Is it too late to elect him again so Democrat policy gets set back 100 years and is ridiculed for another 100?

These were unlawful combatants who will kill more human beings. These were not soldiers.
So Holder, who is Obama's accomplice, needs to share a cell or a firing squad with the Chief perp. And the soldier turned deserter needs to be courts-martialed and executed. I suppose one question is should there be one firing squad or three?

The GOP could have furthered their agenda immensely if they had worked with Obama over these past 6 years. Obama is a centrist on virtually everything. When the GOP played ball, they got like 98% of what they wanted.
Yeah, that's why, OR you guys impeach him for freeing a POW. Get real.

The confederate army wore uniforms. They were not unlawful combatants. The confederate army had a visible chain of command with badges of rank. The confederate army was an army. And the rebellious south was a nation. They acted as a nation and they were defeated as a nation.The United States didn't recognize Jefferson Davis' government either. From that perspective the entire Confederate Army were unlawful combatants. Yet we swapped prisoners with them. Is Lincoln guilty of giving aid and comfort?
And in any case it's a distinction wholly without merit. You speak as if released "legal combatants" didn't go back to their units and kill our soldiers.
What's your axe to grind with Holder?
No. He is the nation's worst enemy. He needs to be impeached, then arrested, and tried.He wont be impeached.
I mean Boehner would have to schedule time between his crying fits to do something like that, and he's been hiding anyway.
Let Obama stay, he's his worse enemy, and hew the Democrat partys worst enemy too.
Why do I get the impression that you know very little about the military? Do you believe promotions are automatic?Because he's not a deserter - yet. He's simply AWOL. To be guilty of desertion he has to have intended to be away from his post permanently, which I don't think they can ascertain without actually talking to him. It also requires a court martial.
Really? How many war criminals are usually swapped for each deserter?You do know that we've been doing prisoner exchanges with the enemy since the Revolution don't you? If those weren't treasonous acts, if those didn't give aid and comfort to the enemy how is this any different?

You are wrong. You are, I am sure, a die-hard Obama supporter.

I am interested in hearing why he was promoted. There is a classified report about him. I want to see it. The traitor-in-chief can release it tomorrow.

I don't hear the rightists quoting Krauthammer on this one.Yeah, that's why, OR you guys impeach him for freeing a POW. Get real.
Not to side with Obama, but there are plenty of legitimate things he has done wrong. This is not one of them. He is not bound to illegal laws passed by congress, and this is an executive decision.
Then perhaps you should try constitutional conservatives. We don't like establishment republicans nor statist democrats either.Die hard? Nope. Did vote for him simply because I liked Romney even less. Didn't like Bush 43 either - his starting the Iraq war was criminal. Last President I liked was Bush 41. Don't see much different between most democrats and republicans. The all pretty much suck in my book.
Maybe so but it has not prevented you from being wrong.I just happen to like intellectual honesty.
Actually not.The Confederate States were not, and could not be, a nation in the eyes of Lincoln's government. They were essentially insurrectionists. The fact that they wore uniforms is irrelevant to that fact.
Whether they kill soldiers or murder other innocent people is not relevant. They have murdered innocent people in the past and they will murder innocent people in the future.But that still doesn't answer the essential point. You, and most people who complain about the releases of those prisoners, make all kinds of noise about them going back into the field and killing our soldiers as if this is something novel that hasn't happened hundreds, if not thousands of times in the past.
Nice dodge. Are you doubting that we haven't been doing prisoner exchanges for hundreds of years and that other nations have done it for thousands of years before that?
Ask Israel that question since they've been in the business with these same charters for decades .Really? How many war criminals are usually swapped for each deserter?
