I have a brick wall with Marco Rubio's name on it.

It's very easy to snipe away from the peanut gallery, but I have no doubt every single one of these clowns would've made the same exact decision.

Rubio is probably right about the Bergdahl swap being calculated, but wouldn't any modern-day president do something for personal messaging purposes?

King made a fair point about Qatar not being very trustworthy.

Even if it was calculated it was still the right descision.

Possibly. I really jumped to conclusions on this event without analyzing everything anyhow, so I don't think I'm in a position to say anything definitive about it. I just think that a Republican in office might have traded for Bergdahl just like President Obama did.
