Obama Doubles Down on Bergdahl, Says He'd Do It Again
Breitbart ^ | 6 Jun 2014 | by DAN RIEHL

Posted on 06/06/2014 9:54:39 PM PDT by kingattax

In an exclusive interview with NBC's Brian Williams set to air Friday at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, Barack Obama doubled-down in his defense of a prisoner swap for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl going so far as to claim he'd do it, again if given the chance.

Said Obama, "When somebody wears our country’s uniform and they’re in a war theater and they’re captured,” he said, “we’re gonna do everything we can to bring ’em home. “We had to act fast in a delicate situation that required no publicity.”

In a confusing twist, he went on to seem as if he was portraying the Taliban as America's friend. Saying the war is ending, “you don’t do prisoner exchanges with your friends, you do ’em with your enemies.”

Even if it blows up in his face he won’t be sorry. Marxists never have any regrets

He intentionally broke the law and warns he’ll do it again.
Congress critters, grow some nates and do your duty.

Of course he would, he’s a narcissist who doesn’t care what anyone of us think, but has extremely thin skin so doubles down on his act because in his mind he can do no wrong.

I believe he is angry. Obama may be scary angry, actually. To experience gravity, from those high Greek pillars must be a heck of a fall.

Oh I believe him. At this very moment I’m sure he’s looking for another traitor to advance his intentions to free the worst enemies of our nation.

I would ask who’s side he is on. A person would have to be a complete idiot not to know that already.

I wonder if Obama released the five top Taliban killer-commanders as pay back for Karzai refusing to meet with on his visit to Afghanistan?

“OK, dude. You don’t want to meet with me? You purposely insult the most powerful man in the world? I’ve got a present for you in a few days. Hee, hee.”

Christopher Buckley thinks the exchange resulted from a botched asset, who had to be retrieved. I think he might have it confused with Benghazi, but you never know if he’s joking or not.

He was just using Bergdahl as an excuse since he wants to release ALL the Gitmo detainees..he wanted to see how people reacted to the five of the worst first..eventually he is going to release them all because Communists always side with the enemy..he would put members of the Taliban in his Administration if he could, he considers them his friend
