How the Obama administration’s story on Bowe Bergdahl and the Taliban fell apart

The MSM is today busy showing images of Obama genuflecting to the survivors of D-Day.

[Gaffer]

The president thanked service members who “recovered Sergeant Bergdahl and brought him safely out of harm’s way.”

Yeah, those soldiers threw away the bag he had when first contacted and then frisked his ass again before he boarded the helicopter. That fact speaks VOLUMES about what he really is.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Apparently unknown to Obama (or perhaps known) was that he was not in “harm’s way” at all. He got along well with his “captors”, converted to Islam, and reportedly was even allowed to possess a gun.

[Gamecock]

For more than a year, the president had been buffeted by events that he could not—or would not—control. The disastrous debut of Obamacare, the continuing fallout from the Benghazi attacks, the consequences of intelligence disclosures by Edward Snowden, the unfolding human tragedy in Syria, the Russian power play in Ukraine, the scandal that has engulfed the Veterans Administration—in one crisis after another, the man who once boldly declared his intent to be a transformative president had shown himself to be a reactive one.

What a damning statement.

He can only focus on an issue for 5 mintutes. Anything that requires some thought as to the 2nd and 3rd order effects is beneath/beyond him.

Susan Rice .... on the Sunday talk shows ... lying about a video ... AGAIN.. She is the equivalent of a jihadi suicide bomber, going out and blowing herself up (politically), but the difference is she survived the first explosion and gets to outright lie AGAIN. What has she been promised for totally destroying her credibility and character (along with the administration who sent her out there) ... 72 male virgins on an estate in Hawaii and a couple of million bucks?

It only took him three words to say “I”.

From the article:

"When top Obama administration national security officials briefed senators on June 4, they expressed frustration with the public debate around Bergdahl’s departure, telling lawmakers that his fellow soldiers were more nuanced in their initial interviews than in their recent comments."

What a packet of sly, devilish misdirection.

"Nuanced" in this case obviously means "naïve," because in their initial interview, his "fellow soldiers" were still giving him the benefit of the doubt, not having yet personally experienced the full evidence of his treachery.

As they would. Read the rest of the article to learn the details.

Let's see which senators trot out this "more nuanced in their initial interviews" line of clap-trap. Whoever does is in league with the worst of the worst of this disastrous administration, which would do each of us to death if it possibly could find the means.

““Unless the goal is to increase the combat power of the enemy, they should have remained under U.S. government control,” says one former intelligence official who worked on Guantánamo issues. “Those five in particular should have remained at Guantánamo at least until the last U.S. military person [in Afghanistan] has been withdrawn.”

Logic

Obama came out holding Mrs. Bergdahl around her waist very close to him, just like 50 Cent holds his women’s. Then Mr. Bergdahl spoke in Arabic to his son and the world...Obama smiled? Then the story telling lies began and continue to this moment...Obama desperately searching for a lie to stick and be swallowed, hook line and sinker by all?

Truth and Obama’s honor are always the casualties of anything the Won does.

Well, I am afraid that increasing the combat power of the enemy is exactly what the Soros Administration desires.
