The Patriot Post® · 'Care for Your Own Citizens'

Hillary Clinton weighed in on the Obama administration’s outrageous prisoner swap – five high-level Taliban jihadis for one deserting American soldier. “This young man, whatever the circumstances, was an American citizen – is an American citizen – was serving in our military. The idea that you really care for your own citizens and particularly those in uniform, I think is a very noble one,” she said. “You don’t want to see these five prisoners go back to combat. There’s a lot that you don’t want to have happen. On the other hand you also don’t want an American citizen, if you can avoid it, especially a solider, to die in captivity. I think we have a long way to go before we really know how this is going to play out.” Ambassador Chris Stevens was unavailable for comment.
