Obama gave the Taliban exactly what and who it wanted in the Bergdahl negotiations - the five most senior Taliban leaders at Guantanamo. Those five include: Khairkhwa—the founding member of the Taliban and confidant of Mullah Omar. Fazl—the former defense minister and commander of all Taliban troops in Northern Afghanistan during September 2001. Wasiq—the former deputy minister of intelligence for the Taliban. Omari—a high-level Taliban security official. Noori—a Taliban governor of the Balkh province. While my emotions are mixed on securing Bergdahls release, given all the questions of his loyalty and possible desertion, I fear weve not heard the last from these five terrorist. I pray this decision will not come back to haunt our nation or cause danger to our troops already in harms way.
