Bowe Bergdahl, once missing U.S. soldier, charged with desertion

Since she wasn't with the DoD I doubt she ever had much cause to talk about ANY military members. Back in my early enlisted days of processing awards, NCOERs and OERs I certainly saw my share of such overhyped terminology.

True, she wasn't with the DoD. She was representing her boss, Barack Obama, when she uttered those now shameful words.
 
my god what a story this would be if a Republican had been duped into such a trade. the media would already have a name for it. but for Obama you can almost HEAR this story being SWEPT under the rug.

How it is being swept under the rug. It is all over the media. It is in giant letters across the CNN website right now.
 
No matter the situation he caused himself, Obama rescuing him was the kiss of death. [or in this case...life]

I bet Bergdahl's terrorist looking father is POed.

His adoring fans will ignore it. Obama's dreamy.
 
Lol@Republicans.

What's funny about any of that? The story everyone was getting was POW until the exchange and then the guys from his unit decided to talk.

The military doesn't like to put out embarrassing stuff until they are forced to. Remember Pat Tillman?
 
Remember when Susan Rice said he served with "honor and distinction"?

Sadly, I believe this only reinforces her belief. This is her ideal soldier.


Heya Erod. :2wave: Nah it sadly demonstrates why Susan Rice shouldn't be in government.....let alone BO's National Security Advisor.
 
Too creepy for prime time. ;)

Has there every been more sexual strangeness, ambiguity, and dysfunction associated with a first couple in American history?

Worse was all the pushback from Team BO to cover over their deal. Comments on if there would be charges. Wasn't that BO in the White House Garden with his parents?


Misbehaving with the enemy? WTH.....was he doing the ditty with the enemy? So if they called him traitor. They would have to execute, huh?

I know that... You know that.... and so does Hatuey. He has no problem being dishonest and using lies to attack the people he disagrees with politically, because dishonesty is not only an accepted practice in progressive circles, it's often encouraged.

They won't kill the sumbitch. However, this does put the lie to a lot of Obama's pronouncements - we knew it all along. Now we can see it in the form of Bergdahl. The guy's a traitor, but to hear some tell it, only republicans can see that. I'll just take that as an admission of the abject stupidity of some on the left.
 
LOL Liberals... Liberal main stream media selling Obamas lie..

You do realize that if the Republican narrative for the Iraq war and Democrat holds water, so does this, right? :)
 
The Illegal Bergdahl Deal: Sordid Details, Troubling Implications.....

The evidence of his desertion is overwhelming. Other facts suggest that he may have crossed a line into active collaboration with the enemy.

White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice declared that his service was marked by "honor and distinction" on national television.

the Obama official at the center of these political machinations is the now-infamous Ben Rhodes, of course. The administration denies that Al-Marri's early release from federal prison -- which we wrote about just last week -- was tied to any quid pro quo. Why should Americans believe that claim?.....snip~

Oh, I agree. I just find it incredibly funny that now everyone is calling for Obama's head when a multitude of Republicans bashed Obama for not doing everything he could to bring the guy back. Obama did everything he could, and it brought results. Continuing to bash Obama over doing what Republicans wanted just makes them look hypocritical. :shrug:

"What" Its taken you six years to figure out those in an opposite party would look to try and catch BO and his transparent Administration in a Catch 22? Would talk **** about him just like the left does with those on the Right. Blame him like he blames Republican for all his woes and failures.

So now that you are up to speed.....how does it help Bo peep with this situation and what came out of his and his teams mouth?



The Governement Accounting Office also issued a report last August which concluded that the administration did in fact violate the law when it failed to notify Congress about the impending prisoner swap as required by law.....snip~

Bowe Bergdahl, once missing U.S. soldier, charged with desertion - The Washington Post

The two charges news conference is going on now. No discussion about the 2014 investigation will be discussed to keep impartiality during the USMCJ. An article 32 preliminary hearing (like a Grand Jury hearing) will be coming. IF found guilty on both charges, a maximum incarceration of life in prison could be levied. No death penalty was discussed so that is not an option according to the press conference.

This is quite a difference and contrast from Susan Rice, National Security Adviser saying Bergdahl “served the United States with honor and distinction.”

Gee, who saw that coming?

:shrug:

Stopped here. If this is a catch-22 for Obama, and you admit it, there is nothing to respond to. Republicans are being hypocrites after calling for Obama to do everything he could. :shrug:

Oh like Progressives and liberals are.....Imagine that and all in politics to, huh? Go figure.....Let me know when you see the Moral Party become a real player in the grand scheme of things.
 
Oh like Progressives and liberals are

Pointing at the other party when you've got nothing else to argue makes you look like you don't have an argument. You've already admitted that Republicans want to play gotcha with Obama on this issue. How do you feel about it? :)
 
I think the exchange was a horrible idea...but do think they should have negotiated to get him back. Maybe offered a case of pork free SPAM or 6 herds of goats...something they would really appreciate.

They should not have traded terrorists and they should not have done so under the pretense that our lost hero is now home. They SHOULD have said...we bring ALL servicemen home...even the ones that will stand trial for desertion.
