Lies.
Liars, liars, all of them.
The Obama administration did an end around on Congress for this prisoner exchange because they knew that Congress would not approve and that would jeopardize Bergdahl’s life.
Bergdahl needs to face a Court-martial and and Obama needs to face an independent prosecutor. The chance of either are slim.
You'll notice that President Kharzai was not amused at this stunt.
The military knew exactly where this POS deserter was for years. They had already wasted at least 6 lives trying to find him and when they finally did find him, they had no interest in mounting a rescue attempt.
You don't rescue traitors. But now hundreds, if not thousands of Americans are much less secure with these 5 terrorists and one potential corroborator being loosed upon the world.
It is time for we the people to rise up against this lawless rogue regime.
Bergdal wasn’t a prisoner and Obama didn’t need to set him free. He just wanted an excuse to set five of his friends free.
Is it any wonder that Obama focused on getting an anti-American “soldier” exchanged for 5 anti-American jihadists?
Here’s how you determine what Obama will do - think of what any common sense patriotic American president would do,
and then determine the exact opposite.
Yeah right, we'll see won't we!
I’d say if daddy used Allah’s name, sonny boy will soon blow it make himself a martyr “for the cause”.
So the Executive branch gets to interpret the law that Congress passed. Right?
And the Congress bends over yet again? Right?
Clear and Present Danger, anyone?
Sorry “realized should have been released” spell checks fault! :)
How many soldiers died hunting down and capturing these five terrorists?
Has that cost been considered in their release?
“What difference does it make?”
(couldn’t resist) :)
They will likely say the outrage within the military is intolerance toward Obama and Muslims.
The issue of negotiating with terrorists will be described as "prisoner of war negotiations".
The top secret file on Bergdahl will be "off limits until the investigation of this incident is complete".
The mysterious Bergdahl "health issues" will be described as "personal and confidential".
The non-disclosure documents the military witnesses were forced to sign will be described as "normal operating procedures".
The wild card in this story will be the honor and honesty of the ex-military who were witnesses to this incident. Their willingness to tell the truth will be hard to spin.
...and how does the decision to out the Afghanistan CIA chief fall into this rationale?
Exactly! This is where the Regime got blind sided - they did not see it coming. Probably thought they had those guys buttoned up with NDA's.
Hope these hero patriots have taken every measure for their protection in every sense of the word.
Damned good question.
