Susan Rice: We didn't negotiate with terrorists, Qatar did.

This weekend, White House national security adviser Susan Rice took a break from her busy schedule of scouring YouTube for blamable videos, and sat down with CNN's Candy Crowley. You may remember Crowley as the "journalist" who likes helping floundering Democrat Presidents score points in political debates. Crowley wanted to know if, in fact, the United States had negotiated with terrorists in its effort to secure Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's release.
The short answer is "yes," but this is the Obama administration. ...So you never get the short answer. “Point blank," Crowley asked. "Did the US negotiate with terrorists for his release?” Rice replied:
“Candy, what we did was ensure that, as always, the United States doesn’t leave a man or woman on the battlefield. In order to do this, it’s very important for folks to understand, if we got into a situation where we said because of who has captured an American soldier on the battlefield, we will leave that person behind. We would be in a whole new era for the safety of our personnel and for the nature of our commitment to our men and women in uniform. So, because it was the Taliban that had him did not mean that we had any less of an obligation to bring him back.”
Crowley reminded Rice that it was the Haqqani network that had Sgt. Bergdahl, and then pressed the question about negotiation.
“We actually negotiated with the government of Qatar, to whom we owe a great debt.”
See how that works? We only negotiated with Qatar. Qatar did "something" and we got our captive soldier back. We didn't negotiate with terrorists at all! Our hands are clean! If there are two people you can trust implicitly, it's Candy Crowley and Susan Rice.
