Re: Parents of fallen soldier: Our son died looking for Bergdahl and the military lie
you understand that the Taliban come into existence in 1990s right, you understand that many on the American right wanted to work with the Taliban right? You understand that conservatives attacked President Clinton when he wanted to stop the Taliban right? No....more's the pity.
I posted a link to this site in the bar... some historic photos that are pretty damn amazing. One in particular has haunted me since I saw it.
Afghan women at a public library during the 1950s.
The Afghanistan government was shifting towards democracy in the 1950s and 60s before the Taliban took over. Women could work, become educated, dress casually and use many of the modern day services that men could.
Makes me wonder WTH we didn't stomp these roaches into sand long before now. Guess we didn't see that slippery slope lefties claim doesn't exist.

Heya SN.....they may be the ones behind the scenes. But they are not the ruling authority.
Currently after they held their Election over there, evidently someone on BO's team failed to inform them of this exchange that was taking place this week.

CHARGE: Soldiers died searching for him...
Former fed prosecutor: Release of Gitmo terrorists impeachable offense...
CHENEY: U.S. will 'pay a price'...

Three years since consulting Congress...
FATHER: 'I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners'...

Evil, no doubt about it. Last two years of his term and you will see him turn on us with a vengeance.

I am speculating here, but from my time in the field and from what little information I've come across as this story pans out, I'm betting this guy is an intelligence officer. I'm definitely not buying into the idea that he's just an infantryman who abandoned his post.

Re: Parents of fallen soldier: Our son died looking for Bergdahl and the military lie
Obama breaks our laws more than Al Capone. This could hopefully break the back of the dems come election time. He goes to West point, denies help to vets and then makes the single most atrocious hostage trade deal in American history, not for a soldier rather for a deserter and possibly a traitor. Why only 5 for 1, why not 500 for 1? Let's listen to the dems squirm out of this one as they already tried to do last Sunday.

Obama is just incompetent.
The job of POTUS is larger than Obama and Obama knew it by February of 2009.

Incompetent and DANGEROUS.
Shame on the Dems for being so naive, but just wait. They'll being us another unqualified candidate in 2016. They've lost the ability to see past their party line.

Re: Parents of fallen soldier: Our son died looking for Bergdahl and the military lie
Why does it matter that he died looking for a fellow soldier rather than a taliban commander?
No man left behind is a motto that comes to mind.
But lying is never good, so that army should have told the truth.

Re: Parents of fallen soldier: Our son died looking for Bergdahl and the military lie
I'm afraid your speculation is little more than wishful thinking. At least according to reports from those who served with him.
He's a deserter who sympathizes with those who would destroy America.

Yes, Obama played that 'no soldier left behind' card this morning. Doubtful America fell for it from him either.

Re: Parents of fallen soldier: Our son died looking for Bergdahl and the military lie
I question the reliability of those reports. At any rate, if he is an intelligence officer, it's unlikely anyone in his unit knew, save for maybe 1 or 2 individuals. At least in my experience. I worked intelligence for 9 years before anyone I directly served with knew.
But again, speculation. He could be a traitor. I just think this story is too fishy. But I also freely admit I don't like believing it, so there's my bias.

Re: Parents of fallen soldier: Our son died looking for Bergdahl and the military lie
Obama and those he surrounded himself with are also a national security threat.
The first time I heard someone say that was in 2010 while attending a social function and it was an Air Force Lt. Gen who made the comment off the record.
Americans will be bleeding and dying twenty to forty years in the future because of the decisions had had already made just during his first couple of years as as the Incompetent CnC.

Why does it matter? I can't believe you actually asked that.

Re: Parents of fallen soldier: Our son died looking for Bergdahl and the military lie
Ahhh the old CON game... you cite a BLOG who makes claims... You expand what I said in an attempt to disprove it all... :roll:
Where did I say the PENTAGON???? the blog cite says the reporter, Loeb said the Pentagon wasn't the source but refused to name the source.
Now that you mention the Pentagon, on April 2, 2003 the PENTAGON released 5 minutes of the rescue video and claimed Jessica had been tortured, shot and stabbed. As far as I know the entire video has never been released. (taken from the same source that makes the vague claim Jessica's Congressman made up the shot stabbed story, did ya miss it????) :shock:
The Pentagon and Centcom sure pushed to make the Pvt Lynch story a propaganda piece.
If you could post the name of the source for the Congressman being the start of the shot and stabbed rumor please, it seems to yet another unnamed source...

I doubt it......he thinks because he disagreed with the Law he signed in which he issued a statement about it. He is above the law.
Until.....he gets shown Otherwise. He will just continue on in his botched and failed Hopes.

This is actually really interesting. Do you also have statistics for the general population of Afghanistan? Those living in poverty, those with schooling, etc?

Re: Parents of fallen soldier: Our son died looking for Bergdahl and the military lie
I post the following quotes from Military men-
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman JCF- "It is our ethos we never leave a fallen comrade. Today we have back in our ranks the only remaining captured American soldier from our conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Welcome home Sgt. Bowe Berdahl."
General Dunford, commander US and Coalition Forces, Afghanistan- "You almost got choked up. It was pretty extraordinary. It has almost been 5 years and he is home."
Oh and before the usual suspect wanders in here to spout off about PC generals and the like, Fortune Magazine (no bastion of PC Obama love) ranks General Dunford as one the the WORLD's top 50 leaders... :shock:
General Dempsey led the Army's largest Divisional command in US History in Iraq. He would be one of those 'war fighters' some claim Obama loves to purge... :roll:
