resources and so forth. prepared to be able to defend against five taliban people, who are the palestinians. certainly are. another big difference, the recent israeli case you mentioned, this is an israeli soldier doing his duty, basically snatched while on duty. the difference here is sergeant bergdahl had left. now, this idea of leave no man behind, i never served in the military, but my understanding is, this is a two-way commitment. it s a commitment that troops make to each other, and our government makes to the troops. i m not sure this commitment holds once someone abandons their post, and at that point, if it s not a commitment, then why sergeant bergdahl? why are we not trading these guys for the girls in africa? why are we not trading for prisoners for other people in afghanistan that i think are being mistreated by the taliban? so i think there are a lot of reasons. the calculus of this trade doesn t seem to make sense. kim, what about the political

them, the prestigious supposed to speak miles and miles and it s a crock. if you had to choose between equality and liberty it s no contest. thank you, tibor. if you d like to keep this conversation going, go on facebook or twitter. use that #clasp warfare. let people know what you think. coming up, how much does anyone need? many americans hate rich businessmen but i notice they rarely hate celebrities on the red carpet who is just as rich. do you mind they make millions of dollars? no, it doesn t occur to me. they make millions of dollars?
