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.

What “honor” did he exhibit by deserting his post?

What “distinction” did he demonstrate on the battlefield?

He carries no awards and has no honor. He is a traitor and after being found guilty of desertion and/or cowardace in the face of the enemy, needs to be shot at dawn by a squad of his peers.

Make sure you turn off all your home BS detectors when Susan Rice appears on TV.

The truth ... to the Obama administration honor and distinction is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

He honored Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd, and the Weather Underground.

When BOR said of Rice last night, “Is she a moron?” I did a spit take.

Something nobody has talked about with Susan Rice jumps out at me. Wonder what others think.

In both Benghazi and this prisoner swap case, Susan Rice was trotted out to go on the Sunday shows, and we are told that she was given “talking points” to discuss.

My problem with this is, why are we dealing with “talking points” in the first place? Why are we being spoon fed talking points, rather than being given the true facts of the situation? Why are they feeding us propaganda rather than discussing the facts of a case?

Secretary of Defense determined, that it was in the national security interest of the United States to get Sgt. Bergdahl back

Huh?

Not really a conflict here. He did serve with honor and distinction, but not for the American side...

They need to move her over into Jay Carney's job.
