Story has been updates several times today


Update: The Bergdahl scandal might have just gone nuclear, as Jake Tapper at CNN interviews Sgt. Evan Buetow, the leader of Bergdahl’s team in Afghanistan… who says intercepted radio chatter from shortly after Bergdahl’s disappearance had him attempting to make contact with the Taliban. ”I heard it straight from the interpreter’s lips as he heard it over the radio,” Buetow said. ”There’s a lot more to this story than a soldier walking away.”

So, the thirty day advance notice would be time enough for Congress to discuss and kill the the idea of a trade. Senators would be asked their position on such a trade, guaranteed. It might not be in specific terms, but they would still be asked to go on record on any possibility of trading the five most dangerous prisoners for an American detainee.

Anticipate an escalation of news events that will make this matter seem not as important?

Something REALLY important. Like one of the Kardashians getting pregnant, or the latest gay athlete to come out?

I just heard on Hannity that Obama was told by the Taliban which ones to release. The Taliban wanted their best back. And baraq obliged.

At this point Boehner needs to go on printable, hes lost an unloseable election and continues to hurt his party.

If the Federal Republican party believes in reform they need to start by replacing the leadership.

Looks like they were chanting the “Inshallah” to the tune of “Follow The Yellow Brick Road” from the Wizard of Oz.

Call your Congressman and Senators. tell them you consider this an act of treason against the US and the President has now endangered all of America with another 9/11 attack by releasing these dangerous criminals.

Tell them you expect them to uphold their oath to the Constitution.

The President must be impeached and removed from office for this treacherous act. That is the remedy under the constitution.

My reps are all Dems, but they heard from me this morning.

If you do nothing, nothing will change.

I would defer to the docs at this point. Couple weeks we can talk about malingering.

Obama will put him on the VA waiting list and Bergdahl will come around in no time at all.

But it won’t be a couple of weeks. They don’t want anything to come out until after the November elections.

GREAT article, but sorry, there are maybe 3 different SIMPLE spelling errors in that article.

REALLY weird, for Human Events...

What’s next? The EPA has really been pushing its luck with industrial strength stupidity. That bunch didn’t learn anything from the BLM brownshirts and is itching for their own Waterloo. That would be my odds-on guess.

What did the White House think was going to happen here?

John Hayward has absolutely nailed it here. This scandal is truly the perfect storm for Obama because it is so perfectly captures who he is. Something that has impressed me is how articulate the military guys have been in their criticisms. They are expressing their outrage perfectly. The Republicans should be taking notes. There was a guy on CNN the other night with Anderson Cooper who was just devastating — fairly young guy, one of they guys in his unit I think. Poised and smart. The Democrats are being intelligently thrashed by people they consider a bunch of knuckleheads and it is very satisfying to see.

I don't understand why liberals today - particularily the youth - are so supportive of Government.

Because Sandra Fluke can make the rest of us pay for her birth control.
