“Doesn’t go into specifics” is code for “there is literally no plan”.

“Everything in my power”, pah. No emptier words have ever been spoken. “Would not put lives of servicemen at risk”, my ass. There’s risk even flying the C-130 out there to pick him up. What if it’s an ambush?

The words ring hollow because they are.

He seems to hint that he might launch search and rescue missions. In terms of risk to American lives I would think that would result in more casualties than the prisoner release. We’re going to be out of Afghanistan by the time these guys get back to work. They might kill thousands of Pakistanis and Afghans but I don’t think they’ll kill many Americans.
