Bergdahl Repercussions

So five members of the Taliban negotiating team in Qatar were part of the Bergdahl prisoner swap. In case anyone was wondering where they went after their release.

But you have to look on the bright side.

We got a deserter back!

And I think I read just a day or so ago that most, if not all of the Taliban negotiating team in Afghanistan were held in Gitmo before they were released and repatriated back to the stan.

I am sure they are all grateful and thankful to the US for their humane treatment.

"Fascinating" is not the word I would have used. 







I would have gone with "Predictability".
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
