Parents of fallen soldier: Our son died looking for Bergdahl and the military lied to

Re: Parents of fallen soldier: Our son died looking for Bergdahl and the military lie

Don't try and paint this as a left-right situation. It isn't. I'll match my left of center posting history on this forum with anybody else here, and I am very uncomfortable with the man and the White House handling of all of this. Is the Right trying to make political hay out of this? Sure. But that doesn't change the facts. And the facts are pretty bad, both as to the character of Bergdahl and to the deal itself.

Oh really? The GOP didn't make Benghazi into a Left-Right issue? Would you like me to jog your memory by replaying a certain clip from a certain presidential debate regarding this?

The faux outrage machine has crossed the point where when stories such as these arise, I assume they are lying and fabricating things until their truth can be otherwise proven. As I said before, you guys are hoping that Obama gets caught in a major scandal, and that this will be the one that finally, actually sticks. How unpatriotic to wish something like that upon any president regardless of party.

It just keeps getting better.

Maybe if your dumbass president didn't get us into these full-blown wars in the first place this wouldn't be happening?

Yes please - let's trot out the misdirection by the CIA and lies by Susan Rice on 4 Sunday talk shows. Let's discuss the 1+ year of not complying with Congressional requests for full transparency - you know, the transparency Obama said he was going to supply. Perhaps if this administration wasn't, as many describe, the most secretive administration ever - this all would have been finished and the ability for it to be used as a bludgeon for Republicans, non existent.

But that would require competence and foresight, something along with leadership are absent with this current President.

'Us guys'? What in the hell are you talking about? I'm now a right wing nut because I find this whole thing with Bergdahl and the administration's handling of it to be simply inexplicable? :lamo

I'd suggest you go back and read some of my posts. I'll repeat. I'm left of center. You only need to read my posts to understand that. Of course Benghazi was a left right issue. That doesn't make criticism of the President or Bergdahl invalid on this issue.
 
Re: Parents of fallen soldier: Our son died looking for Bergdahl and the military lie

The men? I've only seen one man speak against Bergdahl and he seems to be everywhere on tv and quoted freely by almost every news outlet....none of which have verified a word he said. Some are finally starting to check into his story and they are finding holes....lots and lots of holes.

Id search again. Now there are several speaking, as well as Afghans who have also seen him. Some claim he appeared to be on hashish.

Obama made Benghazi a political issue when he decided to let 4 Americans die and then suppressed the truth during an election season. Thats not going away, and neither is this, the VA scandal, and the political weaponizing of the IRS.

There's too many conflicting stories.

Not really. All seem to indicate he left on his own unannounced and had stated earlier he wished to leave the military to "walk to india".

If the conflicting stories you are referring to are from the White House, well we know about their credibility, dont we?

If the jihadists hadn't attacked us, we wouldn't have set foot in Aghanistan.
 
Re: Parents of fallen soldier: Our son died looking for Bergdahl and the military lie

There are only two stories. One that is most likely true, being told by the men that were there, that is supported with evidence and one that is most likely untrue, being told by a bunch of politicians.

The troops who were there stand to gain nothing by lying. The politucians oolitical necks are on the line and they stand to gain a lot by lying, plus their credibility is in the toilet because of the lies they've told thus far.

It's not hard to do the math on this one.

Not just one member of his unit...

Liberal math appears to be challenging for them.

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear a word of that, because my prefrontal cortex doesn't accept lies very well. :)

Heard it before, even heard it was a fake scandal. Now we have a select committee. I wonder if you have figured out its not going away yet.

Please speak to this, because the face doesn't want to hear any more of your lies:

Good point. The Taliban didn't attack the US on 9/11 ..the jihadists known as Al Qaeda did.

Who were invited to stay and train and plot by the Taliban.

And AQ's headquarters were in Afghanistan. The Tals and AQ were allies, like Germany and Italy during WW2.

That was over twelve years ago. Since then Al Qaeda has spread to Iraq, Syria, Pakistan and Libya and they don't seem to have a central headquarters or leader anymore. And too, the US gives billions to Pakistan to fight Al Qaeda....did the US give Italy billions to fight the Nazi's?


I think the only reason the Taliban are fighting the U.S is because we're in their country and the only reason we're in their country is to fight Al Qaeda who are hiding in Pakistan...our so called ally.

It doesnt change the fact, that after 9/11, the enemy was being provided with sanctuary and support by the Taliban.

That is a fact that can't be changed, alright. But it's also a fact that 9/11 was over thirteen years ago and Al Qaeda hasn't had a base or trained jihadist in Afghanistan since the US routed them out over a decade ago. The US didn't invade Afghanistan to conquer the Taliban....we invaded to kill Al Qaeda terrorists that the Taliban were harboring. So the point is, Al Qaeda no longer has a base or trains in Afghanistan...instead they found safe harbor in Pakistan who are supposed to be our allies. So why are we still fighting the Taliban and not Pakistan?

Why did the US invade Italy? Because the Germans wete there. When the Germans were no longer there, did we leave?

I don't think the U.S occupied Italy after the war,...but they did demand a lot of war reparations.

The painful truth. I often wonder why the USA sends that country and others our $$$$.
