Fox's Selective Amnesia: Megyn Kelly Forgets President Bush's Negotiations With Enemies In Iraq

Fox News host Megyn Kelly endorsed the canard that President George W. Bush never negotiated with terrorists, an attempt to criticize Obama for negotiations that led to the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl from Taliban captivity. The reality is that Obama's negotiation is fully consistent with recent American history, including negotiations conducted by President Bush during the Iraq War. 
On the June 2 edition of Fox News' The Kelly File, host Kelly asked former Vice President Dick Cheney whether the U.S. negotiated with terrorists in order to secure the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl from the Taliban in an exchange for five Guantanamo Bay prisoners. Kelly used a 2008 speech from former President Bush in Israel where she claimed he "shared this powerful history lesson on the danger of trying to deal with the devil":
KELLY: America doesn't normally negotiate with terrorists. Did we just do that? Back in 2008 President Bush was speaking in Israel when he shared his powerful history lesson on the danger in trying to deal with the devil.

the shamelessness that they exhibit when trying to bring Pres. down is more an expression of what they think of American's intellect, not bothering to research or if so brazenly march on with their misinformation decades of knowing they can feed their base anything has now shifted to them treating the rest of us like we're just as under informed as their base.  

but that too is growing old and clearer instead of what they call winning from all their skulduggery will fora 3rd time fall victim to the Progressive party and their own overreaching, shooting yourself in the foot can be a real biatch.  wonder do those who broadcast the lies believe them or are they just that morally gutted they don't care.
