The Yanks have gone binfest crazy over this story.

The soldiers homecoming parade has now been cancelled,Fox News are predictably having kittens but surprisingly the liberal Obama supporting media are also now questioning the whole situation and asking if the President broke the law.

This is a crazy story...........but only in America!

Nothing new here - He's been backing terrorists in Syria for 3 years.

Seems a strange decision after saying and have always made the point of never dealing or negotiating with terrorists , I presume he did it for his own popularity but this is a massive own goal :) I find it all quite funny from the country that thinks it has the right to police the whole world .

But...hang on, hasn't this sort of deal been going on since forever? Surely the big mistake made was making it public?

The USA will always look after the USA with disregard for all others. If a President realises he will gain votes by helping a country, he will. Just remember, the USA isn't always on the right side and they will only do things that benefit the UK when it suits THEM.

Fair enough IMHO. A number of reports seem to be saying that he deserted, and that some of his former colleagues died trying to 'rescue' him from the Taliban. Not a lot to celebrate there really.

You need to turn the dial down from 11, and remember how desperately the Republican's want to stick it to Obama.
Just about every aspect concerning this case has a degree of fabrication, from his 'desertion' to the 'dead soldier rescue mission'.

Hybrid X would have a field as it's all political maneuvering, cover up, bluff, posturing and lies.

If ever there was a case for 'don't believe all of the story all of the time', it's this one.

As said this is all about the election in 3 years time, and nothing to do with the rights and wrongs of this specific case.

Where do you think Obama is going to gain votes then, bearing in mind this is his 2nd and last term of office!
Clearly he's not, but if the Republican party don't keep hammering the Democrats from Obama-care through to polling day, they will lose a third election.

Because we have never done any deals with terrorists have we? Good Friday Agreement anybody?

Unpalatable as it may be, sometimes you have to talk to unpleasant characters for the greater good. Our negotiations with former IRA members has led to two decades of relative peace in Northern Ireland and I am content that this is a good thing.

The world is not a black and white place. It's complex. Eees complicated even.
