Susan Rice: Bergdahl Served With 'Honor and Distinction'

BY DANIEL HALPER

President Obama's national security adviser, Susan Rice, said on ABC that Bowe Bergdahl "served the United States with honor and distinction."

Certainly anybody who's been held in those conditions, in captivity for five years, has paid an extraordinary price. But that is really not the point. The point is that he's back,” Rice told ABC host George Stephanopoulos when asked whether Bergdahl was a deserter and whether he'd face punishment.

“He is going to be safely reunited with his family. He served the United States with honor and distinction. And we’ll have the opportunity eventually to learn what has transpired in the past years, but what's most important now is his health and well being, that he have the opportunity to recover in peace and security and be reunited with his family. Which is why this is such a joyous day.”

Susan Rice was surely serving with distinction when she was throwing bricks at ROTC offices in ‘69.

Susan might get her opportunity to “serve” with honor and distinction when she gets put in jail for her crimes against this nation. She feeds odumbo with a lot of this crap he pulls.

News outlets all over the country were putting out false information. It was hard to see, especially when we knew the truth about what happened and we lost good men trying to find him. PFC Matthew Michael Martinek, Staff Sgt. Kurt Robert Curtiss, SSG Clayton Bowen, PFC Morris Walker, SSG Michael Murphrey, 2LT Darryn Andrews, were all KIA from our unit who died looking for Bergdahl. Many others from various units were wounded or killed while actively looking for Bergdahl.

The media should be tarred and featred, literally, if they continue to support and propagandize for these hooligans.

Susan Rice has already been proven to be a liar.

And WHEN you add in the mysterious death of Michael Hastings, the Rolling Stone reporter who wrote an article revealing how Bergdahl’s fellow soldiers felt about his “capture”, what is so “unreal” gets REAL real—and damn scary!

They did it on purpose. It is a hurricane of climate change promised by Obama himself. Obama came to bring revolution. He is doing whatever he pleases, and it does not appear Congress will stop him or his communist pals.

It’s not every day you see terrorists traded for a Buddhist ballet dancer bike riding deserter. I wonder how this dude kept the Taliban from chopping off his head.

Oh wow. That is very interesting. I guess Hastings screwed up Bambi’s plans when he wrote that article.

FUSR.

She lies with a smile.

Everything she says is a lie, including “the” and “and”.

“Bergdahl served with honor and distinction.”

“The Benghazi attack was spontaneous and caused by a video.”

Susan Rice, liar

That is A point. A point, not THE point (to the exclusion of all other points. It doesn't look like this one is going to yield to the usual spin.

Quite right! When someone claims to know what "the point" is, others should always immediately respond by asking by what right only he is entitled to "frame the issue."

Regards,
