Questions about the reported abduction of Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl; Update: Reports of desertion mounting
Michelle Malkin Bog ^ | 7/20/2009 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 06/01/2014 8:38:51 PM PDT by BigEdLB

My prayers are with the family of Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl, the U.S. soldier seen on the Taliban abduction video released this weekend. The Jawa Report has the full clip.

All Americans should hope and pray for his release from jihadi custody.

There’s one question I have, though, about strange details initially reported on the case — details which have been deleted from later wire dispatches.

I think there’s going to be some outrage that 0bama without consulting Congress to trade this guy who became an Islamic for Islamic’s. It was a shell game.

Thank Malkin for referring to him as Pfc. I’m already sick of everyone referring to him as Sgt.

Just know whenever Obama does ANYTHING, there is always something sleazy and fishy behind it. He never does anything for America’s benefit, only for his own

Obama was looking for a military “hero” in light of the VA scandal. No man left behind and all that. He’s one of the troops.

And appeased (ala Chamberlain) the wogs so we don’t get blow’d up by them.

Well, look how well that turned out for dear Neville.

Obama needed to take the focus off of the VA Scandal and apparently he got what he wanted..Obama loves two things, leftist traitors and the Taliban because they hate America as much as he does

This entire week has been very demoralizing for the military, IMO. So, you risk your life (that could have easily been a trap) to “rescue” a guy who may have walked off, knowing that if you DID get your a$$ shot off, you could look forward to a lifetime of neglect by the VA.

Wow, where do I sign up for THAT?

“Obama is going to made an official member of the Taliban.”

He’s probably an honorary member right now.

exactly. considering his dad’s comments today I believe that he was at least partly a John Walker Lindh except he planned on deserting once he got to stan land and help the taliban.

He should be shot for treason

I live in Idaho. I am happy for this man’s family and will not say anything against that specifically.

However, I am appalled by what the Obama administration did to secure his release.

This is insane. He has negotiated with terrorists and freed five of the most deadly captives we had. Several of them have American blood on their hands and the others our allies. They will go back to planning and killing more Americans. They should have been summarily executed long ago after we got all of the intelligence we could out of them.

It is a travesty and will lead to many more American deaths...and what will we tell the parents, family, and friends of those killed?

It will open the door for other groups, and the Taliban to take more Americans so they can get more of their top people back. What will we tell the parents, family and friends of those taken?

Again, the Obama administration has cavalierly violated US law to make this happen.

It sickens me to think what this will lead to.

We already know the Taliban is viewing it (and understandably so) as a great victory. They will use it to recruit more killers.

As to the Sgt. himself...irrespective of the amount of time he was held...the circumstances of his going missing need to be investigated. He had written to his parents telling them he had lost faith with the mission, was ashamed to be an American, and was thinking of going AWOL.

Did he? We do not know...but it needs to be understood just the same.

Let’s get one thing straight: This idiot is a traitor, and he is no hero. Leave it to this administration, the Democratic Party, and liberals in general to put someone like this on a pedestal.
He was not drunk when he was “captured”. I am wrtiting from Bagram. This is my sixth trip here. Every one of these trips, General Order One has been enforced. If he was drunk, he should be punished IAW the UCMJ, not to mention for desertion. He’s broken so many “laws” it’s not funny. I guess he’s quite lucky we have a CIC with no respect for rule of law. Two peas in a pod.

Michelle Malkin is like Sarah Palin in that she’s every bit as smart and tough as she is beautiful.
