That seems quite unlikely. Do you have a citation for that?
Even Obama's own Military and Intelligence state the "Obama 5" were too dangerous to release.
Yes, Obama does have a choice. Remove all U.S. troops at the end of the war. Don't leave nearly 10,000 in Afghanistan for 2 years after the fact.
Why in the world is Obama risking nearly 10,000 troops?
Obama explained why he's leaving troops there --- 'to train Afghan security forces, support counterterrorism missions and protect the progress made in political freedom over there.'
You can reject those reasons or consider them a subterfuge. Maybe it's as simple as he doesn't want the ultimate failure of his Afghan policies to be noticeable until after the 2016 election and he's out of office.

So we still involved with the war without claiming we are still involved in the war. We are still pissing people off and creating more terrorists.

That's why Obama failed to lawfully notify Congress of the release of the "Obama 5." He ignored interagency recommendations and insisted on sending them back to their Taliban base, which has been in Qatar for about a year. Taliban Release For Bergdahl: Obama Overrode Internal Objections - TIME
Obama only cared about Obama . He thought this was going to be bin laden moment to deflect from the other scandals . He sent rice out to lie again
I am glad that he is coming home no matter what. But really 5 leaders, couldn't he broker a better deal?
For years we heard Obama praising himself about getting Osama bin laden as if he did it singlehandedly. But Dr. Shakil Afridi who helped confirm the location of Osama Bin Laden is still rotting in prison. Dr. Shakil Afridi family has begged Obama for help in getting him out but it falls on deaf ears. Help our enemies and screw our friends is the Obama mantra. Bring Dr. Shakil Afridi and his family here and I'll be impressed.
Apparently not Susan Rice. She stated Bergdahl "served with honor and distinction." Nothing could be further from the truth. Bergdahl's own fellow troops state he deserted.
Did Susan Rice get her info from Youtube again.
Only an idiot like Obama would keep a liability like Susan Rice employed.
