Did anyone notice that the veteran community hasn’t made
a huge deal about Bowe Bergdahl?
* YEP.
* I ALSO NOTICED THAT "WE THE PEOPLE" IN APRIL
2015 PAID FAR LESS ATTENTION TO THE "BOSTON BOMBER" TRIAL THAN WE
ONCE DID TO THE O.J. SIMPSON TRIAL... OR TO THE DEATH OF BRITAIN'S LADY DIANA.
(*SIGH*)
* MAKE OF MY OBSERVATIONS WHAT YOU WILL..
You know, the POW/MIA organizations – they weren’t
beating down doors. Sure, no one wants an American soldier left behind but
there was no burning fire when it came to Bergdahl. Perhaps it’s because of
what was just recently revealed – which some already knew about from a 2009
classified report on the disappearance of the Army soldier. That report should
have been declassified immediately upon the return of Bergdahl, so we wouldn’t
have needed another investigation.
Nonetheless, the details of that report are now being
slowly leaked out, and they are highly disturbing.
* BEFORE COL. WEST GOES ON... COM'ON... I KNEW BERGDAHL
WAS A DESERTER - A PIECE OF GARBAGE. DID ANYONE READING THIS HAVE ANY REAL
DOUBTS CONCERNING THE BASIC FACTS?
As reported by Foxnews.com, “A 2009 NCIS investigation
into Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s activities while in Afghanistan reveal that there is
clear evidence Bergdahl was “going over to the other side with a deliberate
plan,” Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer said on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” Monday
night.”
“Shaffer, a former military intelligence officer and Fox
News contributor, said two senior sources told him that the Naval Criminal
Investigative Service investigation included a forensic review of his computer,
which show Bergdahl’s apparent intent to travel to Uzbekistan. “He was going to
go off to Uzbekistan,” Shaffer told Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly. “He had made
contact with local Afghans and wanted to be moved to Uzbekistan and then made
contact with the Russians because he wanted to talk to Russian organized crime
…“Clearly he was not all there relating to what he was doing,” Shaffer told
O’Reilly. “I think we’re going to see more and more, as this report is made
public that there were a number of disconcerting things within Bergdahl.”
I just have to ask, how widely is this being reported by
the liberal progressive media outlets?
* NOT VERY...
(*SHRUG*)
I for one cannot believe the entire Obama administration
knew nothing about this report and investigation, as they proceeded with the
exchange of Bergdahl for five senior Taliban leaders.
* OF COURSE THEY KNEW!
And don’t forget... those five Taliban leaders are free
to depart Qatar on or about 26th of May. (And reports are rampant that ISIS is
expanding its recruiting efforts in Afghanistan – which is where these five
will certainly return.)
* FOLKS... ASK YOURSELVES... WHAT WOULD A TRUE
"MANCHURIAN PRESIDENT" LOOK LIKE? WHAT WOULD HIS POLICIES LOOK LIKE?
* NOW... CONSIDER THE HISTORY OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION...
(*SIGH*)
* NOPE. I'M NOT ACCUSING PRESIDENT OBAMA OF BEING UNDER
THE CONTROL OF A FOREIGN ADVERSARY; BUT WHAT I AM ASKING IS "WHAT WOULD
THAT LOOK LIKE - COULD THE DAMAGE CAUSED TO OUR COUNTRY, OUR PEOPLE, AND OUR
INTERESTS POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN WORSE?"
There’s no need to debate the charges brought against
Bergdahl. They are serious in every manner — especially the misbehavior before
the enemy... which resulted in the deaths of six soldiers who were on search
and rescue operations for Bergdahl.
...which resulted in the deaths of six soldiers who were

The question that has to be answered is why would
President Obama go so over the top with the whole Rose Garden ceremony? Why
would Susan Rice state that Bergdahl served with “honor and distinction?”
Could it be that no one in the White House actually had
any clue about the details of the NCIS report?
For me it is unbelievable that President Obama would not
do the due diligence to learn the complete background on this episode before
unilaterally approving this exchange.
* AND IF HE DIDN'T DO SO PERSONALLY... ORDER THE RESEARCH
DONE... SURELY HIS TOP PEOPLE WOULD HAVE!
And why was it that the Obama administration gave the
Taliban exactly what they asked for, these five senior leaders?
(*SILENCE*)
I can almost understand one – just one - "insignificant
unlawful enemy combatant" being held in GITMO... but five senior leaders?
* DID WE "TURN" THEM? ARE THEY NOW WORKING FOR
US? IS OBAMA A GENIUS AND NOT A FOOL...?
(*PAUSING*)
* DOUBTFUL.
My assessment is that Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, and
Susan Rice knew everything about the Bergdahl desertion episode – but in their
arrogance felt they could get away with a “feel good” moment.
Furthermore, this gave President Obama an opportunity to
release the worst of the worst from GITMO as validation that anyone else could
be released. Again... it’s evidence of President Obama basing policy not on
reality, but rather on election cycle campaign promises and rhetoric.
(*SIGH*)
This could be an embarrassing moment for the Obama
presidency, but only if it’s widely known.
* I'M NOT INTERESTED IN "EMBARRASSING" OBAMA;
I'M INTERESTED IN SAVING AMERICA!
I’d love to see a Media Research Center analysis of time
dedicated to the Bergdahl story on ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, and PBS. (I’d
have thought this would be front page on the New York Times but instead Tom
Friedman was dispatched by the Times to the White House to give Obama a
platform to convince Americans his bartering with Iran is a noble endeavor –
which it is not.)
* THE MSM DOESN'T EVEN PRETEND ANYMORE! AGAIN... LOOK AT
THE DELIBERATE DOWNPLAYING OF THE BOSTON BOMBING TRIAL!
The truth is quite clear, “A military source also told
Fox News there was strong intelligence after Bergdahl’s 2009 disappearance
indicating he was handed over to the Taliban about 10 days after he left his
base, and that the group wanted him. The source, who is familiar with the
investigation and efforts to recover Bergdahl, said there was an effort to pick
up Bergdahl — and potentially block his crossing into Pakistan — but the
intelligence was either bad or old and the effort was not successful.”
So the recent false narrative being disseminated on
liberal progressive media outlets that Bergdahl left his combat outpost due to
issues with his platoon and that he wanted to report them is as valid as “hands
up don’t shoot.”
* HERE WEST REFERS TO THE BIG FERGUSON LIE... (WELL...
ONE OF THEM AT LEAST...)
Bowe Bergdahl is a deserter. But the greater issue here
is whether President Obama was clueless about Bergdahl’s actions – which were
documented in the 2009 NCIS investigation — or worse, is he complicit with the
return of senior enemy leadership while this enemy still combats our men and
women deployed in Afghanistan? Sadly it could be both.
* YEP. IT SURE COULD BE.
And to think, President Obama actually just told
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker that he needs to “bone up” on foreign policy...
