We had the cooperation of the Qataris to execute an exchange, and we seized that opportunity.” He added that “the process was truncated because we wanted to make sure we would not miss that window.”

” “We saw an opportunity, and we were concerned about Bergdahl’s health”

Concerned about his health in what way? Did Michelle Obama notice he was eating too many doughnuts and soda? He is a dough boy and doesn’t have the physical traits of someone that supposedly has cancer.
