No nation can negotiate with terrorists, for there is no way to make peace with those whose only goal is death.--Bush Speech April 2002
What happened?
The United States was negotiating intently with Abu Sayyaf for the Burnhams release. The Bush administration arranged an indirect payment to Abu Sayyaf (Al Qaeda-linked terrorists) of $300,000, for Martin Burnham who was later killed.
Obama paid too high a price in the form of the Taliban Five to get back a good-for-nothing deserter, but now he paid cash money to an evil terrorist network, thus helping to finance the groups operations against America.
This week: The Bowe Bergdahl story moves to the hearing stage.
who is Abu Sayyaf:
Abu Sayyaf terror networkIslamic fundamentalist, al Qaeda-linked,
occupant of a slot on the State Departments official terrorist-organization list since Bill Clinton.
In 1997 hewas rampaging around the southern archipelago and taking Westerners hostage.
Two such hostages were an American husband-and-wife missionary team-Martin and Gracia Burnham(picture below). They were kidnapped in May 2001. Their captivity was a pretty big story for a while, but then came September, and the inferno of Lower Manhattan.
