If it turns out Bergdahl deserted his post, I’m sure the regime will punish with time served.
You don’t understand. These are terrsts we’re talking about. They all have to be kept in special cages like Magneto or Hannibal Lecter, otherwise they’ll get out and kill everybody in the world.
What the GOP really means when they lie about this is that Obama didn’t give them a chance to hold his proposal hostage for something they wanted.
Yup. Always on defense. Ugh.
Bbbbbbbbbbuuuuttt…Obama only got him released to distract us from BENGHAZZZZZIIII!!!.. And vegetables in school lunches.
LMAO…Sen. Ted Cruz told George Stephanopoulos he would never have negotiated, but would instead have used military force to go in and rescue Bergdahl .
Since the use of American military force in Afghanistan has been such a success over the past 12 years! Guess he would have used the Canadian Army in which he is a Honorary General Poobah, huh?
The Obama Admin has NOT ignored the Gitmo “problem”. In fact he signed an Executive Order on his second day in office in Jan, 2009 to close the facility.
However Congress immediately passed a law saying that Gitmo prisoners could not be brought to US soil for trial or prison. he Congress has blocked EVERY more to close Gitmo. You know - because Black Man??
At least put the credit where it really is due,
Saint Ronie Ray Gun cut a deal with Iran to have the US hostages released at the same time he was being sworn in!
GOPigs and Contards: “Bbbbbutttt…it’s OK when WE do it!”
The obvious mistake! Duh…Obama should have done a photo op on the deck of an aircraft carrier, wearing a flightsuit that makes his crotch seem to bulge. The GOP’ers and Cons like that.
OH…it’s useful to call EXTREME bullshit on labeling the Taliban exchanged for Bergdahl as “terrorists.” They were Taliban government officials before they lost the war in 2001, and were captured in combat with other Afghans, or turned themselves in shortly after the Taliban government fell. They’re probably PRO-terrorist, especially after a decade in a bastille, but they haven’t actually been accused of
committing terrorism.
The GOPigs are really upset because they just didn’t get the chance to filibuster this!
The Bergdahls ought to walk up to the nearest Republican and punch him/her in the face, just on general principle.
Not “Please, Sir” as much as “Please, Master”….
Lotta great comments in this thread. My thought is that if GOPs in the House and Senate wanna have hearings,let’s do it. The WH can release the reports of the briefings,who was present and who said what.
Remember the Pat Tillman foul up. He was first killed by enemy fire all the while the Bush administration and Pentagon know it was friendly fire. The noise about this solider is to loud and the issues too cloudy to make a case either way, not enough sound info. Congress will do what ever it can to destroy Obama, the GOP is the party of NO and that is not going to change for awhile.
Prisoner swap will be at the top of the Sunday gasbag agenda, and number one yeller will be JMcC. The Bergdahls, mother, father sister and the Sergeant need our compassion and best wishes, but they had the misfortune to have Bowe returned in a Democratic Black Man’s administration.
There’s a Mike Rogers on a House Intel committee who was the first out of the gate to call foul on the release by whining Black Man didn’t tell us 30 days ahead of time, but he’s leaving Congress to be a RWN radio screamer, so I nominate his face.
Republicans should change the POW MIA flag from “You are not forgotten” to “Only if you’re worth it”
Congress should get to work and build up some calluses so they won’t get their little fee fees hurt so easily.
“Before requesting rescue please certify that you have and will always vote GOTP.”
