Prisoner exchange

I suspect that President Obama is kicking himself today. He is a cautious man by nature who only acts after extended deliberation but he acted quickly in bringing home our captured soldier and now problems are developing. The reasons he acted quickly are that the soldier’s health was deteriorating and the opportunity to make a deal presented itself. Some say that it is a distraction to get the news away from the VA problem. In any event it appears there was a lot more going on with this soldier. Reports are coming out that he was a deserter and cost the lives of other soldiers who were sent out to bring him back. If this proves to be true then trading hardened terrorist for him might be a mistake.
