Earlier today, in exchange for the release of several Iranians imprisoned here in the USA, the Iranian government released American pastor Saeedi Abedini (left) U. S. Marine veteran, Amir Hekmati (top right) and Washington Post reporter, Jason Rezaian (bottom right) along one or two other American prisoners whose identities has yet to be released.

The release/swap coincides with a gathering of diplomats gathered in Vienna earlier today to announce the lifting of international sanctions against Iran (which confirms Iran’s advantage against the United States) and that Iran for the past year has complied with the requirements of the nuclear deal.

Also in attendance at the gathering in Vienna are John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

Fox News

The announcement comes as the International Atomic Energy Agency certifies as early as Saturday that Iran, as part of a landmark deal, has fulfilled its commitments to curb its development of a nuclear weapon in exchange for world powers returning $100 billion in frozen assets.

Multiple sources confirmed to Fox News that American pastor Saeed Abedini is among those Tehran is releasing. And Marine Amir Hekmati is reportedly one of the others being released, in exchange for seven Iranians being held in U.S. prisons….

Breitbart

On May 31, a scandal-ridden Barack Obama announced the Taliban had released Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl after five years of captivity. His release follows negotiations in which the Obama administration agreed to trade five prisoners from Guantanamo Bay for Bergdahl.

Author Brad Thor tweeted a number of responses to this act of negotiating with terrorists, including his assessment that Americans are now vulnerable because terrorists see they can get what they want from the Obama administration….

Below are tweets by Thor in addition to one posted on Breitbart regarding Barack the Weak’s decision to negotiate with terrorists:

While I am happy for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and his family, with this prisoner swap, it is now open season on every American around the world.

Anybody want to bet that new @PressSec will blame being new to job to avoid having to answer hard questions re: Taliban prisoner give-away? — Brad Thor (@BradThor) June 1, 2014

Taliban exchanged for #Bergdahl deemed in 2008 ‘high risk’ for launching attacks on American interests if released. http://t.co/ukG2pfU2JD

Were the Taliban prisoners just a fig leaf? If #Obama Admin paid any $$ for #Bergdahl release, then they directly funded a terrorist network — Brad Thor (@BradThor) June 1, 2014

 

As pointed out in one of Thor’s tweets, in 2008, the Taliban had been officially ordained “high risk,” what has changed since then???

Below are other tweets by Thor that further questions the release of Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl and rightfully so when one takes into consideration that Bergdahl decision to go AWOL was premeditated, his release occurs at a time when Barack Obama is viewed as weak, engulfed in the VA scandal that leaves at least 40 veterans dead and the fact that Obama’s popularity is at an all-time low. Distraction anyone?

#Bergdahl before walking off his base and being captured: “The horror that is america is disgusting.” http://t.co/bXGFhyk4Yo

What you see in the #Bergdahl release is a stage-managed, low-scale win that will substitute for #Obama foreign policy achievmnt going 4ward — Brad Thor (@BradThor) May 31, 2014

 

Considering this young man’s views about his country and the war at the hour of his desertion, his capture and duration of his captivity, while I am pleased that his family is getting their son back, what are the chances that this soldier may have been radicalized?

Merely exercising my right to free speech and free thought, I pray not, for the sake of his parents and the nation.

As for Barack the Weak’s decision to negotiate with terrorists will soon come back to bite all of us.

All of the above, in addition to Obama the Weak and Lawless, once again, going over the heads of Congress, i.e., the prisoners swap.
