Two words...My Ass!
Step back a minute and review Barry's negotiating skills and the underlining motivation for his actions. The 5 for 1 swap had nothing to do with 'no soldier left behind'. He could care less about Bergdahl. It was all about depleting the population at Gitmo to help bring to fruition his wet dream of closing it down for good. He took a lot of heat for an endeavor which can only be described as a dumb ass deal. Yet, on the other hand, it was to bothersome to place a phone call to the Mexican president to get Tamarossi released. Why? There was no payoff.
We have all witnessed Barry's negotiating skills firsthand with releasing terrorists and talking to their counterparts in Iran. Deadlines come and go like puffs of smoke. "They won't get a nuke on my watch" insures the next president gets it on their's. Were holding all the cards yet Obama and Kerry have bent over backwards so far an orthopedic spinal surgeon couldn't straighten them out. So now what are they going to do? Take this set of finely honed negotiating skills ...give everything, get nothing in return... to Cuba.
Check Cuba's list of demands in the article below.
What do we get? Barry's legacy preserved in history as the president who restored relations with Cuba.
But with legacy comes consequences.
Here's what we should be talking about.
Cuba harbors some 70 American fugitives from justice, but we have three particular ones in mind. Because each committed heinous crimes in this area — and none has been held to account.
Joanne Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur, a Black Liberation Army terrorist convicted of the 1973 execution-style murder of a New Jersey state trooper. In 1979, she fled to Cuba after escaping from prison.
Guillermo Morales, chief bomb maker for the Puerto Rican terrorist group FALN, responsible for scores of deadly New York attacks — including the infamous 1975 bombing of Fraunces Tavern.
(A Columbia alumni no less)
Cheri Dalton, aka Nehanda Isoke Abiodun, wanted for a string of “revolutionary” armored-car robberies. She allegedly drove the getaway car in the 1981 Brinks robbery in Nyack, in which two police officers and a guard were murdered.
Any overtures to get these criminals back? Of course not.
And they want us to compensate them for sanctions?
What about all the Americans who owned homes, hotels, and other various businesses to the tune of $6 billion taken over by Castro? Who compensates them? BTW... what does the demand U.S. broadcasts over Cuba cease tell you about control?
The bottom line? This sudden epiphany concerning Cuba didn't happen in a vacuum. Barry instigated the talks. Why? Because he knows the Castro's brothers will insist on reclaiming Gitmo effectively closing it down. The climax to his wet dream.
I can hear him now...

There is "no plan" to return the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay to Cuba despite Wednesday's announcement of renewed diplomatic relations between the two former foes, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter said Thursday.
"No anticipation and no plan with respect to the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station," Carter said at a press conference Wednesday.
The facility would be just one of the issues that would keep the the U.S. and Cuba from establishing full diplomatic ties. On Tuesday, as President Obama was lauding the new relationship, the Cuban government said that to reach full relations with the U.S., it would be "indispensable that the territory illegally occupied by the Guantanamo Naval Base is returned." The Cuban government's statement had other demands, including that U.S. broadcasts over Cuba cease and that the island nation would be compensated for years of sanctions.
Of the almost 800 detainees once held at the detention facility, 115 remain locked up there. Fifty-one of those detainees are approved for transfer, but escalating violence and instability in Middle Eastern countries where the detainees could go and Congress' opposition to the transfers limit the administration's options.
Last month, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., said he is willing to work with the Obama administration to advance a plan to close the center. The 2016 defense bill, which still needs to be approved by Congress, includes a provision to allow the administration to move forward with closure if it submits a plan that Congress approves.
