Taliban Release Video Showing Bowe Bergdahl Release
NBC News/Taliban ^ | 6/4/2014 | MUSHTAQ YUSUFZAI

Posted on 06/04/2014 5:10:01 AM PDT by CodeJockey

The Taliban released a video Wednesday purporting to show the moment former prisoner Bowe Bergdahl was handed over to American custody.

The 17-minute video, sent to NBC News by a known Taliban spokesman, shows both sides quickly shaking hands before a clean-shaven Bergdahl is handed over.

But what if we injected the 5 taliban leaders with a tracking chip and are targeting them with a drone?

Obama and the State Dept are giving Al-Qaeda orders. Call it a conspiracy but this whole thing is a dog and pony show. Something really effed up is happening here.

Yes! I thought I would not remember his name even if someone told me but when you said I did remember. Been quite a few years since I read that book, not my typical reading, was trying to get my teenager to read, instead he didn't and I did.

when they hear the facts?

MSM isn’t going to give the parents of those killed looking for this bag of puss the coverage they gave Cindy Sheehan.

The fact I was referring to was the health condition of Bergdahl in the Taliban video versus the White House reason that his health was deteriorating. It is easy to see the lie.

Bluntly I passed a supermarket stand that had the front page of the Seattle Times plastered with the words that Bergdahl was traded quickly because of his health and the 30 day notification was ignored. Then later at the computer I saw the Taliban video which showed Bergdahl in excellent health as he was released to special forces from a blackhawk helicopter.

Susan Rice is famous for falsely blaming Benghazi on a video. Now she is caught in a lie that Bergdahl’s health was so bad that they could not wait the 30 days to notify Congress about the swap.

As the facts come out people will see the blatant lies of this administration. It’s already happening.

Jim Rosen mentioned on Greta that he is in the process of doing an investigation, that if true would show Bergdahl collaborated with the Taliban to the highest extent possible.

He would not say what that is, but I would assume that means he helped kill American troops;

It’s a 17 minute video. I believe the bag he had with personal items was left behind.

That SOB wasn’t “captured”. He defected to the enemy and I hope that we treat him as a disgraced AWOL traitor and that he spends the rest of his miserable life in hard labor in prison at a minimum.

I don’t read the NYT but did catch Obama’s propagandist F. Chuck Todd say it done because of the prodding of the republicans, particularly John McCain, who were anxious to get Bergdahl home. Of course his reporting overlooked the fact that these same republicans would never have agreed to a swap but why confuse the public with all the facts.

Translation would have been nice. It did not look to me as if he left the bag behind...could be wrong.

Just for the record, Berghdal was not a POW. We have not been at war against radical Islamist’s since 2009.

He was a POCO — Prisoner of Overseas Contingency Operations.

Sondra Andrews said she wants people to know her son was a good man and a good leader who always wanted to join the Army. Darryn Andrew’s son was just 2 years old when his father was killed. His daughter was born four months later.

Dqban22, thanks for the link and excerpt!

Heres a couple snippets from post #45

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2014/06/03/oh-my-us-intel-officials-worried-bergdahl-may-have-been-active-collaborator-with-the-enemy-n1846705/print

“... A senior official confirms to FoxNews that the conduct of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl —both in his final stretch of active duty in Afghanistan and then,too,during his time when he lived among the Taliban —has been thoroughly investigated by the U.S. intelligence community and is the subject of “a major classified file.” In conveying as much,the Defense Department source confirmed to Fox News that many within the intelligence community harbor serious outstanding concerns not only that Bergdahl may have been a deserter but that he may have been an active collaborator with the enemy. The Pentagon official added pointedly that no relevant congressional committee has sought access to the classified file,but that if such a request were made,key committee chairs would, under previous precedent,likely be granted access to it. ....”

..Several military officials who spoke with THE WEEKLY STANDARD noted privately that Taliban attacks on U.S. forces in the Paktika province seemed to increase in frequency and effectiveness...[Some] wonder whether Bergdahl helped the Taliban,either willfully or under duress. In the hours after he disappeared,according to sources familiar with the intelligence,U.S. troops received an intelligence report that Bergdahl stopped in a local village and asked how to find the Taliban.

More evidence pointing to desertion continues to emerge, including this account from NBC News,which has been echoed elsewhere: ...”

Expect a hurried up trial so Resident can pardon him! So
“What difference does it make” philosophy is still and will be in place till 0 is out of office.
0 is using/manipulating the entire situation for his personal benefit
