Could not share that with congress - now they may screw it all up if that happened. Sometimes when things look like a poorly thought out decision, it isn't.

We would not be having a story. The other thing I would have changed is NOT having Susan Rice saying how incredible the Soldier was and I also would not have had the Rose Garden Ceremony. Other then that, it was perfect.....see how easy it is to be a Monday Quarterback.

The prisoners are already gone. If no one was playing politics with this, THEN maybe the Taliban would be suspicious.
