Firstly, and most importantly, no one knows what happened to this guy, so all these claims about him causing deaths are unfounded, as is the claim he's a deserter. In fact, the reports from the locals as he left the base describe someone who looked as though he wasn't all there, so mental health is obviously a consideration.

Right then, this backlash against him is disgusting. It really is. This is a guy who wasn't far away from being in serious and probably unrecoverable health condition, so bringing him back now was either then, or not at all.

Also, republicans themselves wanted this guy back, right up until Obama did it. There was also discussion in 2012 to bring him back, and the republicans warned the wh if they brought him back in an election year they would rubbish his name and call him a deserter and make an issue out of it. Well look what has happened.

Because of the blow back from fox. That's why. Everyone was greeting him and welcoming back at the start, but then as soon as every rw commentator started calling him a traitor and his dad part of the taliban etc, then this happened.

John McCain, in february called for a deal to be made, then as soon as obame did it, he needs to be impeached. If you can't see the hypocrisy and politiking involved here, then you're deluded. Check out the twitter in that huffpost link to see how many people are tying themselves in knots to be against something they all wanted, right up until the time obama did it.

American government is weird. They may have dodged the presidency bullet, but because the repubs own the house and the senate, then democrats can't do anything anyway.

I can't see republicans winning back the preseidency for at least the next 2 elections, then the demographics of minorities will make it impossible with their current attitudes towards immigration.

But republicans have redrawn the districts for house and senate seats, so it's increasingly difficult for democrats to win those for the next few years too.

There is an impasse that means no matter what needs to be done, as long as they keep the rw extremists happy, then they will remain in their seats. Republicans are supposed to hate government and see it as the problem, yet they are unwilling to give it up, and when you see the wealth it offers them, the reasons are there for all to see.

They are pretend patriots who tell anyone who'll listen how great the US is, and how much they love their country. They just prefer collecting cheques from lobbyists, than fixing the fixable problems.

I agree.........shame though that the only way to get real biting political comment on US airwaves is from a Comedy show (albeit a very good one !!)

Next time a soldier is captured by the Taliban and held to ransom, let's remember who it was who, contrary to the USA's previous stance, decided it actually was a good idea to negotiate with terrorists.
