Oliver North: I Know a Ransom of $5-6 Million Was Paid to Free Bergdahl
Breitbart TV ^ | June 3, 2014 | Staff

Posted on 06/03/2014 4:42:07 PM PDT by Rufus2007

Tuesday on NewsMax TV, former U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Oliver North said U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was not a prisoner of war because he was actually being held "hostage" by the Haqqanis, a terrorist group separate from the Taliban and associated heavily with al Qaeda.

North said he knew there was at least a $1 million dollar ransom being demanded for Bergdahl some time ago so he estimated the price paid to release the hostage must be close to $5-6 million now.

Enough to finance a war on Americans....and there is speculation our 400 surface to air missiles that disappeared in Benghazi are in the hands of either the Taliban or Al Quaida...there was gun running going on in Benghazi prior to the attack, which some had reported.

So if the Malaysian plane is somewhere in the possession of terrorists, we have a real problem...out there somewhere. Were any of these guys trained to pilot a plane? Did they need a jet pilot?

Six billion disappeared with the State Department...and who got the fast and furious weapons across the Border from Holder’s fiasco? Mexico or ? There is a pattern here!

Obama freed 5 high priority Taliban and paid x millions of dollars to terrorists because he wanted to.

Think of it as money laundering. Because that's exactly what it is.

To The Won, the pay back is more dead Americans and national humiliation.

Our lives mean less than nothing to him.

Love Oliver North ... but please ... surely we have someone other than Mr Iran Contra himself to make this case.

If no one else steps forward, he'll do.

Maybe we traded Malaysia MH 370 for the Taliban leaders, too.

The group holding him is like the mafia. They have connections with lots of ugly players but they aren’t Islamic fundamentalists. Something had to be in it for them because they could care less about GITMO detainees. Their release doesn’t benefit them in any way.

Whoever wanted these guys out of GITMO paid his captors the random in exchange for convincing our gullible leadership to let the high values out of prison.

The comments about Bowe being able to celebrate Christmas point to his being held by non fundamentalist muslims. Once the Americans lost interest in rescue, Bowe lost value and the Taliban likely traded him. He’s still worth something and they need funds to continue their operations.

This “meat” becomes more rancid by the hour. What next a video of the traitor sexing up a billy goat? Rachael Maddow would defend that too!

Maybe he reads FR. :)

I posted this several times. At least there was talk of money being paid. Maybe a third party paid it for deniability -- and Obama paid the third party with some of that six billion dollars missing from Hillary's State Dept.

date: Feb 18, 2014: Obama administration 'to offer Taliban 5 Gitmo prisoners in exchange for last Afghanistan POW Bowe Bergdahl who has spent four years captive'

"The Taliban offered to release him in exchange for $1 million and 21 Afghan prisoners."

It’s no longer just the Virginians who can’t figure out things, Col. North, but the whole country.
