Taliban are releasing an American soldier held for 2 years. Thoughts?

The Taliban has released an American prisoner that was held by the militant group for over two years, in a deal struck by the Trump administration with the assistance of Qatari negotiators, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Thursday.

George Glezmann, a Delta Airlines mechanic, was abducted by the Taliban in December 2022 while traveling in Afghanistan and identified as wrongfully detained by the federal government the next year. George Glezmann is the third American prisoner of the Taliban released since January, when Trump returned to office.

In his statement, Rubio said Glezmann was on his way back to the U. S. to be reunited with his wife. He also expressed gratitude for Qatar, whose supplied negotiators helped broker the deal.

“Qatar has consistently proven to be a reliable partner and trusted mediator, facilitating complex negotiations,” Rubio said.

Rubio also noted that Glezmann’s incoming return follows the release of Ryan Corbett and William McKenty, two Americans released by the Taliban shortly after President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

“George’s release is a positive and constructive step,” Rubio said. “It is also a reminder that other Americans are still detained in Afghanistan. President Trump will continue his tireless work to free ALL Americans unjustly detained around the world.”

They know the Trumpinator will get around to them sooner or later, after we annihilate the Houthi's. Iran will step in the way, though. They have to go soon. More even than Russia, China, NORK and Democrats, Iran is a clear and present danger to the world. Because they are Jihadist radicals.

Hats my opinion? Biden was such a joke (a bad joke… not the funny kind). He left those people and many more behind and trying to go back and get them would have been admitting they screwed up… they would rather let people die then to admit that anything they did was a screw up.

The Biden admin. Did such a piss poor withdraw from Afghanistan that they didn’t want to admit that they left Americans there.

@BadApple69 They're truly clown, I was surprised when I heard they were withdrawing from Afghanistan out of the blue

This would not have happened if Kamala Harris was president.

Biden just left this guy to rot. I am glad we have a president that cares about the military.
