Bergdahl Backfire

[Rozman]

There has been a lot of chatter on this.
Most if not all negative against Obama.
So the left has two immediate responses....
Blame it on Bush.
Cite racisim.
Or go scorched earth and blame both.

it's negative about PRESIDENT obama because rightwingnuts don't stop yapping and faux raging.

Sounds like you're OK with what Obama did?

No, it's negative about the head ****** in charge because once again he fucked up royally in his desire to bolster his poll numbers.
How do you defend trading a likely Taliban agent for 5 top Taliban operatives? Didnt anyone think to ask questions about this before it happened? It's like everyone in the administration is drunk.

Fellow soldiers call Bowe Bergdahl a deserter, not a hero - CNN.com

But, that's the thing with speculation...even his "fellow soldiers" can't agree on the circumstances.

According to firsthand accounts from soldiers in his platoon, Bergdahl, while on guard duty, shed his weapons and walked off the observation post with nothing more than a compass, a knife, water, a digital camera and a diary.

or

Bergdahl was relieved from guard duty, and instead of going to sleep, he fled the outpost on foot.

Oh and they aren't anonymous. They are more than happy to give their names.

Like this.

Matt Vierkant, 27, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, was a team leader of another squad in Bergdahl's platoon, and when asked about the statement Sunday by National Security Advisor Susan Rice that Bergdahl served 'with honor and distinction,' he said:

'That statement couldn't be further from the truth. I don't know if she was misinformed or doesn't know about the investigations and everything else, or what.'

He said Bergdahl's fellow soldiers knew within five or 10 minutes from the discovery of disappearance that he had walked away.

In retrospect the signs were there, he said, but there was nothing so definitive that would have prompted action.

'He said some strange things, like, "I could get lost in those mountains," which, at the time, that doesn't really strike you as someone who is going to leave their weapon and walk out.'

Vierkant said he believes it's paramount that an investigation determine whether Bergdahl deserted or collaborated with the enemy.

'It shouldn't even be a question of whether, it should question of when,' he said.

To Jillian the only problem with Obama is that the rest of us dont sit down and shut up.

It's one thing to walk off the job at the Post Office because you don't like your boss.
Quite another to leave your post when in the military.

And get your fellow soldiers KILLED looking for your traitorous ass.

Update: The Bergdahl scandal might have just gone nuclear, as Jake Tapper at CNN interviews Sgt. Evan Buetow, the leader of Bergdahl’s team in Afghanistan… who says intercepted radio chatter from shortly after Bergdahl’s disappearance had him attempting to make contact with the Taliban. ”I heard it straight from the interpreter’s lips as he heard it over the radio,” Buetow said. ”There’s a lot more to this story than a soldier walking away.”

And didn't Susan talk show Sunday Rice put her foot in her mouth again
by saying this guy served with honor and distinction...before we know what happened?
Well looks like we know what hapened.He walked off his post.But maybe the administration
would want to find out the facts first....

What the **** am I thinking...

 

[tinydancer]

We don't KNOW why he walked off, hater dupes. End of story.

It doesn't matter why he walked off. He went AWOL. End of story.

And NOTE that these leftist ASSHOLES are using the moniker "we leave NO ONE Behind"...? As IF this is going to resonate with VETS who really DID serve with honor?

And NOTE that worked real well in Benghazi...

These people are sick in the head.

Never gonna happen... he's black. The country would erupt in violence. He's virtually untouchable, and he knows it. Why else would he keep breaking the law?

What laws has he broken?
He must be racking up the convictions!

They admitted they broke the law because they didn't notify Chines 30 days prior to making the exchange. Read the news or have someone read it to you.

They admitted that?
Oh well..in that case.

Haaaang on!
When did they admit that they broke the law?

“On Sunday, I think they thought there would be some euphoria around this,” Todd agreed. “That there would be a rally around the flag. That didn’t happen.”

Yes, I agree.

It is foolish to ever think that Republicans and Conservatives would rally around the flag when there is a Democratic President.

 

[tinydancer]

Seriously how many times have we witnessed fellow soldiers calling for a court martial? I can only remember comrades in arms wanting Kerry's head over Vietnam when he was lying his ass off giving testimony. I still hate him for that. I always will.

But I digress.

Oh.
Speculation on the interweb is equal to fact in your world?

Much like this I suppose.

In one of the more major media failings in a long line of media failings last week, Brown University student Sunil Tripathi, who'd been missing since March 16, was widely identified as a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. Though the origins of the rumor are difficult to pin down, it appears as if the speculation about Tripathi's involvement in the attack began on Reddit before making the leap to Twitter, various news outlets (including this one), and even, reportedly, police scanners. In the chaos that ensued, Tripathi's family members were inundated with dozens of phone calls from reporters—his sister got nearly 60—and were forced to take down a Facebook page dedicated to finding Tripathi after it became littered with "hateful, angry posts." This morning, a body pulled from the Providence River was officially identified as Sunil Tripathi's, finally putting to rest the rumor mill that had made his family's life hell last week. No foul play is suspected in his death.

Maybe it's time you turned on some cable news stations, you can see those that served with him personally tell the story.

Indeed. The only flag they "rally 'round" is the hammer and sickle.
