White House Backpedals After Claiming Bergdahl ‘Served With Honor And Distinction’
The Daily Caller ^ | 6/3/2014 | Brendan Bordelon

Posted on 06/04/2014 7:36:36 AM PDT by Beave Meister

Deputy national security advisor Tony Blinken struggled to cover for his boss Susan Rice on Tuesday, backtracking from her contention that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl “served with honor and distinction” in the face of tough questions from NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell.

Mitchell confronted Blinken over Rice’s Sunday claim that Bergdahl “served with honor and distinction” — an assertion almost immediately disproven by scores of Bergdahl’s comrades and official Pentagon reports, which show the soldier abandoned his post and may have been seeking to join the Taliban.

“Why did Susan Rice say he served with honor and distinction?” she asked. “It was clear to the military as soon as he left what had happened, according to his former fellow soldiers?”

She will say whatever they put in front of her no matter how absurd. Susan Rice does not possess the ability to create original thought.

So too Andrea. Not impressed.

Do you feel safe with the Dim Bulb Susan Rice as National Security Advisor ?

Well, you want her, or you want Dude Boy? Because I think those two are the brightest bulbs in this Peanut Gallery.

If I were Obama, I would announce that Susan Rice will be available on all 5 Sunday talk shows to finally answer all your questions about Fast & Furious, IRS targeting, the VA affair and Obamacare.

They wanted to release those Gitmo prisoners.

They wanted it to look legit.

They wanted to make sure the person they were trading for was a “good” person, in their definition (ie, anti-American),

so they traded 1 turncoat for 5 Taliban leaders.

Yes, it is far more stunning that Andrea was asking those questions than that Susan Rice lied again.

Bergdahl is a deserter and probably a traitor, but gets his E-6, I wonder how long before the d’s get him a CMH?

Served the TALIBAN with honor and distinction is what she was referring to and she wasn’t talking to the American people. Susan would rather be labeled a liar than give up her Islamic cause.

I always taught my kids that telling the truth is the easiest path because trying to remember all of the lies is simply way too hard.

What she meant was that he served with honor and distinction until he didn’t serve with honor and distinction.

It’s perfectly clear.

She’ll say an anti-Islamic video posted on YouTube made her say Bergdahl served with “honor and distinction.”

In the WH mind deserting your country is an honor and distinction.

Totally agree. For the WH, the sole goal was springing the Gitmo 5, not rescuing an American soldier (traitor or otherwise.) Bergdahl was simply currency to give the appearance of a deal.

I think, for PR purposes, the WH would have preferred the sham deal be sealed with a real American hero. Certainly, it would give their media sycophants and apologists an easier time of it, too. But the US has no other soldiers in the hands of Islamists, darnitall, so a deserter would have to do.

The Gitmo 5 were outright gifts to our sworn enemies.

Funny ...The heads of state from nations that don't want to kill us get gifts like iPods loaded with the Greatest Hits of Barack Obama, or seeds from Lady O's garden-that-other-people-tend. Those who want to annhilate us get 5 top-ranking officers to help them do just that. Priceless.
