The problem is that there are so many things going on now - so many hearings, so many investigations - that this latest outrage is probably going to swamp the investigatory capacity of Congress.
I just can’t see how more hearings are going to help. I read somewhere that Congress sent a formal protest to Obama yesterday, so maybe if they could make this public and actually proceed with something that doesn’t require years of hearings, it might have an impact.
I honestly don’t know what can be done. And furthermore, Obama did what he usually does after some outrageous act: he left the country so that he can keep out of reach of even the most minimal press inquiries. He’s off in the Ukraine right now, thumbing his nose at us.
It is so bad on so many levels, I almost don't know where to begin.
Susan Rice also made the assertion (without explaining how she knew or providing evidence) that the excuse for pushing the prisoner swap so quickly that they could not even inform Congress as required by law was Bergdhal’s purported rapidly declining health and need for immediate medical attention to save his life.
So here we have a confirmed deserter and probable traitor who got pushed to the front of the line for health care while our wounded warriors languish and die on secret death panel lists because they are denied care.
Sounds like the VA Scandal is at play here as well.
I would be shocked if it turned out that Obama traded a deserter for 5 terrorists. Just shocked I say!
I just can’t figure out why they did it and why they did it now.
Take the VA scandal out of the news? Get the last American out of the region before pulling out? Test this approach to slowly empty out Gitmo?
They had to know the allegations against Bowe. We are definitely missing something here. They can’t be that dumb.
“And what is going on with CNN, Chris Matthews, The Daily Beast, Time and scores of other regular Obama sycophants going after him on this and the VA medical scandal?”
IMHO, they are distancing themselves from obama now, so they can shill for hillary later this year.
It’s unfortunate but I doubt anything comes of this. Anyone in Congress with a set of balls would have impeached this ass over any number of scandals.. pick one. IRS, Benghazi, bypassing Congress, VA and now Bergdhal. BO’s track record on doing anything right is non existent.
Releasing the 5 GITMO terrorist for a deserter fit’s in line with his mentality. Pathetic, but this is the new America.
You crackers will learn to serve the Moslem Brotherhood,
al Qaeda, and us. We won on 911. Now serve."
All the ass in the White House had to say was we wanted him back to prosecute him for desertion of his unit,and possible collaboration.
This to me just proves the ass was doing it because he wanted the headline of Obama frees prisoner held by the evil terrorists
This may be Hussein’s most serious crime yet.
BO giving up five dangerous military commanders who hate America shortly before they return to the country that America is abandoning?
In exchange for a deserter / probable traitor who hates America and caused the deaths of six brave Americans?
Could hatred for America have some possible connection here? Hatred for America mixed with a profound desire to express the hatred?
