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.”

The news press is a committed enemy of America.

Before this is over, some of them are going to have to get the same remedy as Julius Streicher.

No wonder Obama focuses on guns and not mental illness.

His cabinet is full of people who need treatment.

Nossir. I dream of the news media propagandists getting this treatment.

All indications are that Bergdahl is a deserter and purposefully walked away from his post into the hands of the enemy.

And also is directly responsible for what, at least six loyal American soldiers who went looking for the "lost" man?

‘Bergdahl Served With ‘Honor and Distinction’

Yeah, and Benghazi was all about some cheaply made youtube video.

And obama is an American, he is the smartest man in any room, he has outstanding grades, and since we seem to be listing whoppers, the biggest one of all obama is heterosexual.

They should play that Eurythmics song, “Would I Lie To You” whenever Rice opens her mouth. She wouldn't know the truth if it bit her in the ass.

Rice: "Sergeant Bergdahl wasn't simply a hostage; he was an American prisoner of war captured on the battlefield."

Bergdahl wasn't captured on the battlefield.
He wasn't a prisoner.
And I have serious doubts on whether he was an American.

This seems to be the Prog’s hero of the war – a deserter. They are circling their wagons, saw Alan Colmbs on Fox supporting this guy. “Bergdahl Served With ‘Honor and Distinction” what honor, what distinction? Unfortunately they don’t shoot deserters in war time, the last was Private Eddie Slovik in World War Two. According to Wikipedia: No U.S. serviceman has received more than 24 months imprisonment for desertion or missing movement since the beginning of the post September 11, 2001 era. Promoted to SGT, give me a break, give him a Dishonorable Discharge.

Yessir

We are learning a president can do anything when the media is in his corner

Anything literally.

If Obama had a blue dress moment they would ignore it

Like one guy said: If he was a prisoner they sure as hell wouldn’t have kept him for 5 years, they would have killed him/beheaded him sooner or later. No, I think what happened is he defected and said he wanted to join them and at first they didn’t trust him, then this whole plan hatched with him involved in the planning to trade him off for 5 Taliban leaders - And I would even bet Obama knew about this scam which is absolute 1000% High Treason. So now we have TWO potential cases for Treason - Benghazi and this. And people think that’s not worth investigating?

Oh, the dilemma. Who to believe?
The US soldiers who report that BoBo Birddog deserted, or the serially-lying mouthpiece of the pathologically lying Obama Administration who said BoBo served with honor & distinction?

The biggest waste of time is listening to ANYTHING the sock puppets of the mac daddy administration have to say or do.

His Indonesian nanny was a tranny. You cannot say that about many true Americans. Nothing about this dysfunctional clown is normal.

Sad, but true. More than sad - frightening. When I look back on how they hounded Bush about EVERYTHING, and compare that to their treatment of Obama, I get very angry. The idea of the press as our "watchdog" only applies when we have a Republican president.

Well you know, it’s not like the press will call her on it will they. She could say Obama cured cancer, invented the internet and teleportation and the press would nod in agreement. The libs know they can blatantly lie as much as they want because the press is in their back pocket. We don’t have a press in this country, we have a communist/Islamo propaganda machine the only exception being FOX which is constantly trashed by the communist/Islamo propaganda machine.

In Clown Prince nobama’s instance, it would more likely be a “blue slacks” moment.
