I’m thinking it’s a feint to keep eyes off of something.

A. Syria is my number one candidate.

1. We have a secret headquarters of 200+ Americans across the border from Syria in Jordan running command and control, imho, for the “rebels”.

2. We have secretly created a “moderate force” by backing off our support of all rebels and building a group mostly from the muslim brotherhood. We are calling these ‘moderates’.

3. Our ‘rebels’ and other ‘rebels’ continue to be the ones killing Christians in Syria.

B. The loss of shoulder fired anti-air missiles in Libya, of Benghazi fame, is not ripe enough for Bergdahl’s case to last long enough to take the thunder away from the Benghazi committee.

C. The criminalization of the ooal industry has a number of appeals coal can make before implementation.

I have similar concerns.

In the worse scenarios, Ø would have to “move” to another country around his departure or shortly thereafter to avoid a lengthy prison sentence or other Constitutional remedies.

The father made a point of saying “I am you father”.

Which makes me wonder, just speculation...

Is Bergdahl refusing to speak English and denying his Father as part of some (now) real self righteous islamo-political stance? A complete rejection of his entire existence prior to his conversion to Islam?

Bergdahl could well be way more radical and America hating than Obama bargained for...and that says a lot.

Second that.

>> U.S. POW refuses to speak English

Should make for an interesting parade.

What’s interesting is that the MSM is having a hard time trying to bury the truth about this story.

Probably at Ramstein, Germany, too.

I would have to be sedated.

Glad I’m not a resident of his hometown. What a mess.

When I was in the military I worked in a Detention Facility. The commander often stated that a person did not end up in the stockade most of the time for doing something wrong, but for a bunch of things that he did wrong . . . things that finally caught up with him.

I’ve kind of had this attitude towards our present resident of the Oval Office. The camel is getting very tired of the weight that he has been forced to carry for this man . . . but there is a straw that will finally break its back.

What’s the penalty for desertion in time of war?

As I have had the UCMJ explained to me, it is an offense punishable by death.

Does anybody remember the 1974 TV movie The Execution of Private Slovik?

The Obama administration is to scandals as

a clown-car is to clowns.

What will be the next scandal to distract from releasing terrorist monsters?

Trail directly to the WH in the IRS scandal, would be my guess.

Not only has Obama succeeded in making Jimmuh Cartuh step aside as the worst president in US history, he’s now made Chamberlain look like a tough stand up guy.

And it’s not as if we didn’t know.
