its the old lets not rush to judgment while the Obama admin gets to try and pull a Clinton / benghazi delay. I will judge his Bergdahl's butt right now. I have enough facts to judge him to be a deserter and maybe a traitor. If he wants his named cleared... let him start talking or be cleared at a court marshall. Letting these 5 terrorists out of gitmo... was dangerous, stupid and perhaps a violation of the law.
Let's have a show of hands from the left. How many will stand up and say it was a bad move...or are you going to wait until one of these motherfuckers masterminds the next 911 attack on US soil via our unsecured borders before saying it was stupid? Any want to stand up and be counted now?
Piece of shit was busted trying to actively seek out the Taliban, not only was he a deserter, he was a traitor. Bergdahl's team leader: Intercepted radio chatter said he sought talks with the Taliban (CNN) - Former Army Sgt. Evan Buetow was the team leader with Bowe Bergdahl the night Bergdahl disappeared. "Bergdahl is a deserter, and he's not a hero," says Buetow. "He needs to answer for what he did." Within days of his disappearance, says Buetow, teams monitoring radio chatter and cell phone communications intercepted an alarming message: The American is in Yahya Khel (a village two miles away). He's looking for someone who speaks English so he can talk to the Taliban. "I heard it straight from the interpreter's lips as he heard it over the radio," said Buetow. "There's a lot more to this story than a soldier walking away." The Army will review the case of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl "in a comprehensive, coordinated effort," Secretary of the Army John McHugh said Tuesday. http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2014/06/03/team-leader-bowe-bergdahl-wanted-to-talk-to-taliban/
I've long suspected that Odumbo is, in addition to all else, an Islamic terrorist himself. He WANTED those leaders out of Gitmo and back into the fight to harm America. Bergdahl was his flimsy excuse.
+1 As if the libtards trying to protect their agenda know more than the people who were actually there and lived it.
Bergdahl was right about one thing. His commanders were arrogant morons, at least if McCrystal is any indication. How long will it take us to learn not to get involved in wars where the enemy has a sanctuary inside a neighboring country? And why would we tolerate it? Why not lay down the law to the Pakistanis? Let's face facts. We have been outsmarted over there by a bunch of people who are barely out of the Stone Age.
I hope this and all the other un-American BS these mentally deranged libtards spew causes them to lose the senate. Not that I'm optimistic about republicans but it would suck a lot less.
"Let's face facts. We have been outsmarted over there by a bunch of people who are barely out of the Stone Age" But not by the ones we've killed, of course. ; )
Obama ignored chances to rescue Bergdahl on the ground because he WANTED a terror trade to help close down Guantanamo Bay, claim Pentagon sources 'The president wanted a diplomatic scenario that would establish a precedent for repatriating detainees from Gitmo,' a Pentagon official says He described a conversation with a State Department liaison who said 'the president isn't going to leave office with Gitmo intact, and this was the best opportunity to see that through' Obama has promised to close down the Guantanamo Bay detention camp since 2008 and tried to order it shuttered on his first day in office The White House hurried its decision-making about retrieving Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, leaving intelligence officials too little time to assess how damaging it would be to release five Taliban leaders in exchange for him Military commanders, meanwhile, were unwilling to mount a dangerous rescue operation to save a presumed U.S. Army deserter The result, sources say, was the perfect storm as Obama aims to be rid of 'Gitmo' before he leaves office in 2017 The Obama administration passed up multiple opportunities to rescue Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl because the president was dead-set on finding a reason to begin emptying Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to a Pentagon official. 'JSOC went to the White House with several specific rescue-op scenarios,' the official with knowledge of interagency negotiations underway since at least November 2013 told MailOnline, referring to the Joint Special Operations Command. 'But no one ever got traction.' 'What we learned along the way was that the president wanted a diplomatic scenario that would establish a precedent for repatriating detainees from Gitmo,' he said. The official said a State Department liaison described the lay of the land to him in February, shortly after the Taliban sent the U.S. government a month-old video of Bergdahl in January, looking sickly and haggard, in an effort to create a sense of urgency about his health and effect a quick prisoner trade. 'He basically told me that no matter what JSOC put on the table, it was never going to fly because the president isn't going to leave office with Gitmo intact, and this was the best opportunity to see that through.' While military commanders wavered on the value of rescue plans, a second Pentagon source said Wednesday, they were advised by their chain of command that the White House was pushing hard for a prisoner swap, over the objections of the intelligence community. That official told MailOnline that at least two separate intelligence agencies cautioned against taking the January video at face value. The Daily Beast reported Monday, however, that the White House moved the process along too fast to permit a formal intelligence assessment of the impact of allowing what some on Capitol Hill are now calling the Taliban's 'dream team' to return to the Middle East. Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio told Fox News on Wednesday that the Obama administration 'bypassed the intelligence community' to make the deal, adding that 'I believe he bypassed Congress because this was done for political reasons. There was no policy justification for this.' The result, according to multiple published reports, was an environment in which the White House could insist on moving forward quickly on the basis that a soldier's health was at immediate risk â using that justification also to explain its failure to keep Congress informed. The White House has yet to explain why the deterioration of Bergdahl's health, seen in a video in January, was sufficient reason to steamroll a decision that ended up taking four months to execute. In a video distributed Wednesday morning by the Taliban, Bergdahl appeared to be strong and in good health as he was handed over to U.S. Special Forces on Saturday The Washington Times reported that a congressional aide said JSOC never forwarded specific military rescue plans to the White House, judging independently that President Obama was more interested in a diplomatic solution. But both the Times' sources and MailOnline's also agreed that commanders on the ground were not in favor of sending Special Forces into the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region and risking their lives to rescue a presumed deserter from the terrorist Haqqani network. 'Military commanders were loath to risk their people to save this guy,' a former intelligence official told the Times. 'They were loath to pick him up and because of that hesitancy, we wind up trading five Taliban guys for him.'
