The former Secretary of State has weighed in on many issues concerning today’s version of American politics, and the decision by President Obama to oversee the release of an American soldier captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan prompted a response from the next American president, Hillary Clinton. 🙂
Speaking at an event hosted by the Denver Post, Hillary Clinton defended the president’s decision.
“This young man, whatever the circumstances, was an American citizen — is an American citizen — was serving in our military,” Clinton said Monday evening, according to the Associated Press. “The idea that you really care for your own citizens and particularly those in uniform, I think is a very noble one.”
Needless to say, Republicans are trying to use the release of this American prisoner as another false issue to attack the President on. It is obviously their position that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl should have remain captive by the Taliban in Afghanistan. You would think that bringing home prisoner of war, an American soldier who went to fight for this country would have been a good thing, but not with these republicans.
Republicans – they love the troops… this much.
