Conservatism is completely irresponsible. Conservatives howled President Barack Obama wasn't doing enough for Bowe Bergdahl. Now, in a move that would make George Orwell blush, conservatives are now attacking Bergdahl.
This is another hallmark of conservatism. The truth is flexible. Conservatism's enemy is Obama (or Bill Clinton before) and the Democrats. If the truth needs to be changed, so be it.
Conservatives demanded zero accountability from the Bush administration. 9/11? Failure to find Osama bin Laden? Mismanagement of Iraq and Afghanistan? Torture? Bad WMD intelligence? Conservatives looked the other way and made excuses.
But Bergdahl, an E-3, an exceedingly low rank, is being pilloried for things he may (or may not) be responsible for by conservatives because they want to deny Obama an accomplishment.
Conservatives would rather attack Bergdahl than hold accountable the Republicans they vote for. Obama has been more successful than Bush, and conservatives hate it.
It was not my intention to defend Bush but to point out the hypocrisy of the Leftist’s comments deriding Bush and claiming that Obama is a success.
(because they want to deny Obama an accomplishment)
Oh so not true.
We want Obama to own that he released 5 murdering terrorists scumbags for 1 deserting US soldier. Yes indeed I want Obama to claim that accomplishment!
This is an example of throwing stuff so outrageous at your opponents, you put them on the defensive trying to respond to everything.
It is best ignored.

Successful Gary and vicinity?
I think we have another definition of success.
Letters to the editor are not very compelling.
Which conservatives were howling? I didn’t even know we HAD a soldier in captivity until he was released.
Of course, I might well have wanted us to work at getting him released.
I complain about getting potholes filled in my street, but if the response was to schedule a one-month street closure to tear up the entire section and start over, I’d probably complain about that decision as well, and it wouldn’t make me a hypocrite.
Let's not let the facts get in the way of a foaming at the mouth liberal rant. The more puny Bergdahl is painted,the more eeeevil conservatives appear for bashing Obama...or something.
Successful? Yes, he is successful, for taking America down a path that will make it Marxist in 5 years.
Which conservative was howling?
