WH: US solider held in Afghanistan, Bergdahl, is released after five years

More excellence in Hussein Obama's government.

Five of the scummiest scumbags in Gitmo for an alleged deserter.

What a bargain!

Hussein Obama - the "catch-and-release" president.

 

Um no......negotiating with the enemy and terrorists is not one in the same.

But Kudos bringing Bush into another discussion.

 

Link to Bush doing so.

 

Us repeating it is hearsay.

His platoon saying it is Evidence

You see the distinction?

 

He left his post, without permission, in a war zone.

 

I am wondering why there seems to an almost pathologically desperate and frantic need among some here to destroy this soldier's reputation without any conclusive proof or evidence or waiting for the facts. I mean it really is extraordinary. And unnerving.

 

I am wondering why there seems to be an almost pathologically desperate and frantic need among some here to protect the decision to release one private in exchange for five high ranking insurgent leaders, on a whim against the law. A private who clearly wanted to be captured, and didn't believe in the American mission, who admittedly revealed he was ashamed to be an American.

 

Same reason they tried to "downplay" the killing of bin Laden.

Very happy for the family... but these animals released in the trade will come back to kill more Americans. The media is ignoring and or downplaying the fact that Obama has reduced us to negotiating with terrorists. That sets us up for a world of hurt.

 

And in a courts martial he would receive but we are free to look at the evidence ourselves and make our own judgement starting from a presumed innocent and the reaching that conclusion after viewing the evidence. So starting from that and viewing the evidence what conclusion do you draw and why?

- - - Updated - - -

As opposed to the uplaying that got these four Americans killed?

 

Bergdahl could be the second coming of Alvin York, but a five-for-one is a bad deal.

You know what comes from this, don't you? The US forces take fewer prisoners. "He was shooting at us. See that AK-47?" A dead scumbag is never released.

 

If an insurgent is shooting at us and runs out of bullets and is no longer firing at us, he is not considered a threat anymore and cannot be harmed.

That's the rules we play by over there.

 

Please - Somebody tell me this reporter is joking...

 

Taxcutter says:
I'm sure you are accurate. That's why the war never ends.

FDR and Andrew Jackson never operated that way.

 

i don't think so, for all you know they're just repeating something they heard

what evidence?

 

The entire administration involved in this negotiation with terrorists should be jailed! Any service member wearing the uniform proudly today would agree with me.

 

What danger? They've all been micro-chipped and their mug shots have all been entered into the face-recognition computers. A guy gets on an airplane or boat anywhere and the gates will slam shut. My guess is that the Talibs will just dispose of them.

 

The islamos in Qatar don't care at all if these terrorist get back to work terrorizing the people of Afghanistan and killing Americans.

Well, Reagan did it with Iran before and after he won the election in 1980.

 

You want evidence that Sgt Bergdahl is a traitor but accept HB Obama's word that bin Laden is dead? With BH Obama's habit of lying about everything there is a good chance that he lied about killing Beny??

 

Sounds like the kid was pretty disillusioned about what was going on over there. I believe that Pat Tillman had also written to his parents with similar sentiments before he was mysteriously gunned down by "friendly fire".This whole crappy affair over there in Afghanistan and Iraq has been a bloody turd hunt from the beginning which was planned and executed by a filthy pack of war profiteering scumbags.

Obama is to blame for being a gutless puppet and escalating the idiocy in Afghanistan instead of bringing our troops home the day after his inauguration and closing down Gitmo and releasing all of those who were kidnapped, tortured and held illegally for 8 years. He is obviously working for the same scumbags that Bush and his gang of sleazy murderous pukes were in bed with. I'd like to hear what the young Sergeant has to say, but I doubt if we will ever get the real story.

As far as these "high ranking Taliban prized prisoners" are concerned, we should remember that they lived there and WE invaded in a very hostile manner. The way you people are putting it sounds like they were over here in Cincinnati or Pittsburgh raising hell. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were welcomed with open arms in Houston in 1997 to discuss details about a proposed pipeline to be built and occupied across their country by US oil companies. I guess a deal couldn't be reached and our foreign policy experts were already hard at work on a solution to secure the realm.

so you think our military should have just cut and run?

it seems to me that's the most cowardly option of all, it ignores the consequences of such a foolish action

there is ample evidence osama is dead


"Seventeen documents seized during the Abbottabad raid, consisting of electronic letters or draft letters dating from September 2006 to April 2011, were released by the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point one year and one day after bin Laden's death. and made available at the Washington Post homepage. The documents cover the areas of news media in America, affiliates, targets, America, security, and the Arab Spring."

No he didn't. Iran is not a terrorist organization

 

They should never have been there in the first place. The Taliban offered to turn Bin Laden over to the US if we could produce evidence that he was behind the bombing and Bush simply ignored them and went ahead with the plan which had been hatched years before. The plan to invade Afghanistan was set. Then Cheney's double secret energy policy task force was sitting around deciding who would get what parts of the Iraqi oil plunder. It was all about controlling the oil over there and getting the heroin flow back up and running. It's funny how you an avowed liberal will resort to the exact same buzzwords "cut and run" when it's your puppet who is spilling blood and wasting resources. LOL.....You sound like a neocon now.
