Bob Bergdahl: "I'm proud of how much Bowe wanted to help the Afghan people"
Vanity | June 01, 2014 | CivilWarBrewing

So.. Bowe abandoned his post to go help the Afghan people? WTF? Watching this news conference with his parents is a surreal and confusing experience.

What a pathetic, sick, anti-American family. For this American soldiers gave their lives? For this the 5 top terrorists were released? Treasonous!

Exactly right. His father spewing some Arabic lingo there, just to twist the knife.

It's just 100% bizarro world now.

What was this Muslim sympathizer doing in the military in the first place?

I have a feeling we will find that he has always been into Islam and the military was a cover....just like Hasan.

My reasoning is that the father learned Pashtu. Perhaps he already knew Pashtu...the language of the terrorists??

Then there's the growing of the beard by the father.

And I believe the father mentioned allah in speaking with his son. (Checking again on this).

“This is sounding like a hybrid drama script between Wag the Dog and Homeland.”

This is what Benghazi would have turned into had it gone according to plan.

A setup kidnapping to trade for the Blind Sheik.

Remember, nwo financial elite strategies:

get the world’s muslim sheeple to understand that the US government is - and has been for decades - embracing islam

keep the American people thinking that the US government needs to fight terrorism on their behalf

US intel operates / infliltrates / sponsors / works with arabic and muslim terror groups. On the record, it’s to “inflitrate our enemies”, win hearts and minds of everyday muslims. Off the record, it means that nwo financial elites can get US intel to cooperate to support black ops that are revolutions, kidnappings, terrorist attacks, etc., and this is branded publicly as coming from islam, even though they are us-gov’t-sponsored. US intel is not connected to it in the news; US intel is seen as “fighting” terrorism. Once you blur the lines enough, and operatives are trained to deal with “morally ambiguous” situations, US operatives will operate as illegitimate rogue operatives without questioning.

slowly transition the American people, including those in the US military, to think that terrorism is more about Christianity than islam; make islam one of America’s religions. In order to do this, sheeple in muslim countries must be encouraged to migrate to the US, and the US sheeple must be encouraged to accept them.

Helping the Taliban doesn’t help the Afghan people.

I couldn’t watch it. I heard the father was speaking to him in Pashto. So he can’t speak English anymore? Where is the outrage at this stuff?

1) Which Afghan people?

2) In what way did he want to help?

It sounds just like the movie "Dances with Wolves."

How did that work out?

Is the father or son really a muslim? I have seen it posted that the father is but wasn’t so sure.

I'm afraid Obama will give the Sheik back and not even name him as being gone.

That statement "I will side with...." becomes more meaningful every day.

Time for impeachment.

Noooo; we don't negotiate with terrorists: we elect them...TWICE.

On May 1st, [2012] in a surprise visit to Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, President Obama announced that the United States will now pursue "a negotiated peace" with the Taliban. That peace is likely to include a prisoner swap –

I kid you not, I just read an article focusing on his playing Badminton with the North Waziri Taliban, becoming fluent in Dari and Pashto, and celebrating Easter and Christmas with them, while spending his time cooking and acquiring a taste for kawa, Afghan green tea. The claim there is that he was just lagging behind his patrol, was too slow and got caught.

Forget religious affiliation, consider the man’s loyalty potentially compromised, and keep him miles away from the military, and don’t treat him as a loyal soldier, end of story. The reality is this, the Taliban kills people they really consider the enemy. Al Qaeda kills Muslims regularly that they don’t consider Orthodox enough, and don’t mind the immense collateral damage they dished out for years in the Middle East. If they really considered him an enemy, even if he was a Muslim, they would kill him.

I was already sick at the special treatment traitor Manning got while tons of Veterans are neglected and treated like trash in the VA.
