speaking of POS... remember when congress placed an embargo on arms sales to Iran, then reagan secretly let them have 1500 TOW anti-tank missiles in exchange for some hostages? that was both a deal for prisoners and breaking our own ebargo all in one fell swoop... why don't wingnuts realize that they set the precedent, and as a matter of record, no more hostages were taken, either, which is the wingnut howl meme of the moment.
and yeah, the guys we traded for the kid was for a purpose. obama is ending that war and true americans do not leave any of their own behind. You should be praising obama for that move. Even a soldier that may have to face the music about how he came to be captured deserves to be brought home. The guys we sent to Qatar are no doubt bad guys. But remember how we traded captured nazi officers for some of our pilots they shot down during WWII? Many of them went right back into service of their countries... what makes taliban assholes any different? Prisoner exchange dates back to before recorded history.
You might want to consider things beyond your hatred for obama sometimes... are you forgetting that you are an american and we have a proud tradition of not leaving people behind? And McCain, of all people, should shut his pie hole. If not for our tradition of getting our people back, he could well be still rotting in some North Vietnamese shit hole.
