As one of the characters in “Anchorman” observed of its bloody brawl between news teams: Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
Two days after President Obama broke the law to arrange an insanely reckless swap of five incredibly dangerous Taliban terrorists for captive American Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, virtually every aspect of the deal has blown up in Obama’s face, and the whole thing has soured into another five-star scandal for an Administration riddled with them. Maybe it’s the accumulated weight of Obama fatigue, or the sheer stupidity and arrogance the President displayed in this particular abuse of power, but even people who stood by him through Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and the IRS scandal are asking: What the hell was he thinking? What did the White House think was going to happen here?

Now we’ll waste several more million on this scum, when one drone could have taken him and his Taliban buddies out. A shame.
My guess that the Regime did it on the weekend; did not give a heads up and prep Obama’s ABCBSNBCNN/ print press..... and so the alternate had a field day. The Professional & Dedicated repeaters performing Obama Orifice and Outlet functions were away for the weekend and the Internet exploded with the history of the Bergdahl disaster and of Obama’s miscalculation and arrogance.
Obama’s ABCBSNBCNN&print press really working today to staunch the flow to a trickle.
‘Obama wanted to knock his VA disaster off the front page and it worked. Dumbass didn’t understand he was accomplishing the feat by creating yet another scandal.’
You said that so well. Thank you for summing it up so succinctly. Obama certainly wanted to change the subject from his disastrous VA scandal. He’s just not bright enough to realize he was swapping the wind for a whirlwind.
With all due respect, we the people have over 300,000,000 firearms. 0bama’s malfeasance will be mitigated soon enough politically. He cannot become a dictator past 2016.
"But what difference could it possibly make?" We have an American hating Muslim obsessed pResident surrounded by liberal faculty members and outright Marxist/Socialist/Muslim sympathizers. He has brought the weak spine congress to its knees and corralled the press into defending his every act, no matter how outrageous. Don't kid yourself, the attempt to succeed himself is being fully considered . All that is needed is an excuse for a "Reichstag" fire of some sort. Sieg Heil!!!
You got that right. This kid is another Jihad Johnny. Him and his father are like Deja Vu all over again.
Charge.
Try.
Convict.
Sentence.
Imprison or Execute.
I tuned in NPR news this morning for the first time in a couple of months to get their take on this story.
In their world, this story simply does not exist.
John Kerry, is that you? Forgot the Genghis Khan reference, though.
My fear is that when they debrief this guy and his status as a deserter is confirmed, all of it will be buried by the administration and the traitors I the media,as it will embarrass their king. Another case where we may ever know the real truth.
This one is even worse than Jihad Johnny. Lindh at least had the plausible deniability of saying that he didn’t intend to fight against America since he was already there when we got there. Bergdahl went in with American troops and switched sides in the middle of the fight. Its outright treason as surely as if he had opened fire on his fellow troops at the FOB.
Once again, Human Events says it like it is.
What’s the penalty for desertion in time of war?
Now he needs yet *another* scandal to take our minds off *this* scandal!
I’m thinking he’ll have pooch `BO’ butchered and BBQ’d in the Rose Garden.
(And then blame an underling close to retirement.)
That works on you?
Sen Cruz stated that we could’ve used military force to capture this guy.
Instead, 0 *negotiated* with terrorists.
Exactly right. Next up for to spend more time with family..... Chuck Hagel.
