TALIBAN SWAPPIN' BLUES (White House scarambles desperately for a solution)

It is hard to believe, but even after five years of ruling, the Obama administration still reeks of incompetence. It behaves like a novice administration.

Every excuse was thrown out, every justification was made, as -- in an increasing panic -- the Obama administration saw what they viewed as a probable publicity coup, become one of the examples of 'terrible optics' we read about.

• First, we heard from Hagel that Bowe Bergdahl's health was in danger. Oh, wait, no, it wasn't. NEXT.
• Next, we heard that Bergdahl was a soldier who served with honor and distinction, and therefore, we HAD to rescue him. This was from serial-liar Susan Rice. Oh, wait, no, maybe he didn't serve with honor and distinction. His peers claim he was a deserter, and it appears he became allied with the Taliban.
• Next, we heard that platoon members who knew Bergdahl, and who criticizing him, were 'Swiftboating' him. That one didn't work out too well -- those who were too young didn't know what 'Swiftboating' was, and those who were old enough, remember that 'Swiftboating' was synonynous with 'telling the truth'.
• Next, we were told by Brandon Friedman, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at Department of Housing and Urban Development, that Bergdahls fellow soldiers may be pyschopaths. Obviously that story didn't go over well, and Brandon Friedman even scrubbed his Twitter profile to remove his government role.
• Next, Obama fell back on the old, tired, 'racism/everyone hates me' card. Politico details the story as the Obama Administration framing the criticism as another example of Republicans complaining about something just because Obama was the one to do it. However, after having heard that excuse repeatedly over the last five years, that went over as poorly as one would expect.
• Now, we hear that Congress -- not informed of this swap as required by a law Obama *just* signed -- wasn't told because the Taliban threated to kill Bowe Bergdahl if they were informed. That one doesn't even pass the Laugh Out Loud test! The Taliban would very likely be unaware of this law, and not to care what Congress thought.
• And we see the next argument shaping up, over the horizon: Obama’s Bergdahl Deal May Be Smarter Than You Think... because when releasing five dread generals in a terror army, what could POSSIBLY go wrong.

What this absurd thrashing about seems to show us is that the VA scandals were really hurting Obama. It shows us that nothing -- NOBODY -- will stand in the way of Obama when he has embraced the wrong choice (recall that the Afgan CIA Station Chief was outed by Obama in the days leading up to this fiasco of a trade). It shows us the Obama administration expected this to go well, though I'm not sure how it would have worked like that. In their panic, the Obama Administration shows us that this Taliban/Bergdahl episode is genuinely redounding to their negative. And finally, it reinforces the role of the "news" media as the new Propaganda Ministry, as they sound like the lawyer who famously argued,

Your honor, my client did NOT take possession of his neighbors bucket. Second, there was ALREADY A HOLE in the bucket when my client took possession. Thirdly, my client NEVER put a hole in the bucket. And fourth, my Client repaired the hole before returning the bucket.

Which demonstrates a huge, whopping blind spot of this administration. Release muslim killers who will one day, I am sorry to say, kill more Americans.

[Starstruck]

We are thinking exactly along the same lines and that scares the hell out of me.

Laz, do you mind making the sometimes satisfied list 251? Thanks.

Looks like they set the record for speed on that spin cycle. Every 4-6 hours we hear a different spin story that sometimes even contradicts the previous spin story.

Release muslim killers who will one day, I am sorry to say, kill more Americans.

They also killed a whole lot of Shiite Muslims.

Can you imagine how pissed 0 bummer will be when he reads all this in the paper or hears it on tv? Someone will have to load his teleprompter full of more lies for a speech.

[Focault's Pendulum]

I misspelled scarmable, as scaramble.

Could have been scamable.

“AMERICAN AMBASSADOR” to exchange for the blind sheik. You watch my words, this will happen.<<<

right on!!!...except for a few good men living up to their oath's and not the stand down order....it would have happened!

Congress will threaten and warn til they’re blue in the face but the dictator knows he can’t be stopped.<<

Obama could rape senators babies on the white hut lawn and get away with it because....Now think about it.. YOU CANT IMPEACH THE 1ST BLACK PRESIDENT....Period: End Cease Stop:(lol..it would cause a civil war!

[UCANSEE2]

One more person will be 'kidnapped', and then Obama will say "to prevent further kidnappings, we must immediately release ALL prisoners from GITMO."

You watch my words, this will happen.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the BENGHAZI AFFAIR was not anything but a State department’s plan to supply the Syrian terrorists with weapons from Libya. The Libyan terrorists were not giving up their weapons, and there were more weapons stored in that building, headed for Syria. Now just ask yourself; 1) What was the ambassador in BENGHAZI having “LUNCH” with the Turkish diplomat? 2) Where there weapons stashed in that building, slated for Syria.(that’s probably the reason why they didn’t send any help. The arriving “HELP” would have seen all those weapons)

Well, that first video was the biggest waste of time I have engaged in for a while, so I won’t watch the other two.

Any movie or TV show with a reference to a burning skyscraper or with a clock’s hands at 8:55 (pointing at 9 and 11) is supposedly part of this vast conspiracy?

Did the maker of the video know that a truck bomb was detonated below the World Trade Center in 1993? The Godzilla movie or whatever movie was referenced in the video was made in 1998, and that was some supposed proof of a false flag WTC bombing?
