Palin to Obama: 'You Blew It' on POW Exchange, Destroyed Morale
Breitbart's Big Peace ^ | June 2, 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 06/02/2014 2:23:55 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

On Monday, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin slammed President Barack Obama for trading five high-level terrorists for an American prisoner of war who reportedly deserted his troops five years ago and caused at least six soldiers to die while searching for him.

"You blew it again, Barack Obama," Palin said, slamming Obama for "negotiating away any leverage against the bad guys as these bad guys – Osama Bin Laden's partners in evil crime – joyfully celebrate their 'win' in the deal you sealed."

In a post titled, "Commander-in-Chief's Definition of 'Honorable Service' Includes Anti-American Actions While in Uniform; He Just Destroyed Troop Morale," Palin ripped National Security Adviser Susan Rice for saying on Sunday that Bowe Bergdahl had served with "honor and distinction."

"No, Mr. President, a soldier expressing horrid anti-American beliefs – even boldly putting them in writing and [unabashedly firing off his messages] while in uniform, just three days before he left his unit on foot – is not 'honorable service,'" Palin wrote ."Unless that is your standard."

Palin asked Obama to use the White House Rose Garden to "praise the truly honorable service of our good U.S. troops [who were killed] in their search for Sgt. Bergdahl" and "the soldiers who fought with everything they had to defeat Islamic terrorists, those whom you just freed from prison."

"Our men gave all. Our surviving combat vets will forever live with the effects of the missions they willingly engaged in to protect you, our country, and certainly their brothers and sisters who are proud to wear the uniform," she wrote...

“....and just why isn’t Congress voting daily on impeaching this lawless clown, Clown Prince nobama?”

But you already know the answer; because the clown posse in congress is reading from the same uniparty script.

“I keep hoping for more from Palin and Cruz. At the very least they should for mass demonstrations.”

Won’t happen.

It reminds me of the part of the movie “Soylent Green” when the “police book” Sol finally realizes what soylent green must be made of. And decides to go “home” rather than live with that truth.

“I am a major Saraholic.”

As am I. I’m just not going to deny that she has some blind spots. She has an altogether too charitable view of the opposition at times.

I don’t see a tagline. What are you going to do? Yell “Hip Hip Hurray” every time Palin tweets something?

You apparently don’t understand that words mean nothing to these evil bastards. Will I do something by myself? No. Will I go to DC if Palin asks me to? You damned right! And I believe I’d see you there.

Sorry Sarah, but you know he didn’t blow it. He did it on purpose. Call it what it is. Treason.

It’s right next to my screen name: (I will raise $2Million USD for Cruz and/or Palin’s next run, what will you do?)

Here are some very important questions that need answers:

1) How many American Citizens died because of each of the terrorists that Obama released before they were captured?

2) How many American soldiers died in the events leading to the capture of these 5 terrorists?

3) How many soldiers died looking for this deserter?

4) How many soldiers were injured or maimed looking for this deserter?

5) Was he wearing a uniform of the US Armed Services when he was allegedly captured by the Taliban?

6) Did he give the Taliban any information that led to the deaths of American soldiers?

7) Will there be a court marshall of this deserter?

8) If it is found that American soldiers died because of the deliberate actions of Berhgdal, will he be given the appropriate punishment for traitors?

I’m sure there are more questions, but these are clearly questions that someone in the media must ask.

This is the worst scandal I have ever seen. This is 10 times worse than Benghazi. 4 People died because of Benghazi. Literally hundreds have died at the hands of these terrorists not to mention the good men who died looking for this POS deserter. And we traded the terrorists for a POS Deserter? Unless it was for the express purpose of hanging him in public as an example to other soldiers, then I cannot fathom a good reason for doing this.

I’m sure George Washington would have traded a half dozen British Spies for Benedict Arnold, but that would only have been so that he could preside over his public hanging.

I don’t think they’ll do a thing...even if charged with anything they’ll consider his 5 yr. stretch there as enough “punishment”....Hagel has already said as much.

I feel really bad for the soldiers who know the truth about this guy....just one more thing they have to endure from this Administration and Congress.

Why don’t we just send all the prisoners in Levenworth to Pakistan and let them serve 5 years buddying up with the Taliban? That should be punishment enough for any crime.

The law required that Hagel notify Congress. Hagel needs to be impeached and fined and jailed.

Yes,.... but as you know our Gov. is not abiding by laws ...they are making them as they go. or ignoring what they will...and why shouldn’t they? There’s nothing done to stop them.

You have the means to raise that much money? Expect a lot of fundraising phone calls!

Yes, I raised thousands for the GOP in the 1980’s and over $40,000 for Fred Thompson in 2008. I’ve done this before.
