America "Absolutely" At Risk? The fallout continues for this administration over the release of the Taliban's "dream team" from Gitmo in exchange for American soldier Bowe Bergdahl. In his first public comments on the issue since his announcement in the Rose Garden over the weekend, Obama acknowledged that there is "absolutely" risk that these Taliban detainees will return to the battlefield. But apparently that was a risk worth taking because Obama says this will not pose a risk to American national security. Speaking in Poland, Obama said, "Is there the possibility of some of them trying to return to activities that are detrimental to us? Absolutely. That's been true of all the prisoners that were released from Guantanamo. There's a certain recidivism rate that takes place." (The recidivism rate for Gitmo detainees, by the way, has been as high as 25% and currently stands at about 16% who have returned to terrorism.) Obama went on to claim that the United States will be keeping an eye on them. I have expressed sympathy for our soldiers who suffer from PTSD and Stockholm Syndrome and it's possible that this sympathy extends to Bowe Bergdahl. In time, the nature of his disappearance and capture will be revealed. But aside from that, we must consider the price America may have paid for his return. That is not to say that every American soldier life isn't valuable, but there is no denying that these was a steep cost for Bergdahl's freedom. That cost includes the possibility of this Taliban "dream team" returning to positions of power, returning to the battlefield and ultimately causing Americans harm in the future...continued Climate Change Crusade The Obama administration unveiled its plan to cut carbon emissions in the United States by 30%. Yet again, Obama is asserting his questionable extension of executive power in order to push this climate agenda. While America is struggling to create jobs, Obama's climate change agenda is a proven jobs killer. At least one-third of America's coal-fired power plants will be forced to close as a result. According to analysis conducted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, these new coal regulations will "lead to an average of 224,000 fewer U.S. jobs every year through 2030." Remember that before Obama became president, he essentially promised to "bankrupt the coal industry." Looks like this is one promise he's intent on keeping. >>Today's Briefing (10 PM EST on Fox News) Tonight more on the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
