Bergdahl's father's deleted tweet a smoking gun? | Allen B. West - AllenBWest.com

Take a look at this tweet from released Army SGT Bowe Bergdahl’s father — which has since disappeared from his account.

Folks, this is either a very bad case of Stockholm Syndrome or something far more nefarious is at stake. Regardless, there is more to this than meets the eye of Obama making a unilateral decision and announcement on a Saturday — when he believes no one is watching.

This is not just going to slip away and we’re not going to get caught up in the emotion of Bergdahl’s release. He wasn’t “captured” — he deserted his assigned post.
 
Susan Rice sets the story straight...

Susan Rice: Bergdahl Was 'Captured on the Battlefield'
June 2, 2014 -- "Sergeant Bergdahl wasn't simply a hostage; he was an American prisoner of war captured on the battlefield," National Security Adviser Susan Rice asserted Sunday on ABC's "This Week."
"We have a sacred obligation that we have upheld since the founding of our republic to do our utmost to bring back our men and women who are taken in battle, and we did that in this instance," Rice told George Stephanopoulos. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl went missing from his base in Afghanistan on June 30, 2009, under mysterious circumstances. According to press reports at the time, he simply walked away from his post.

On July 20, 2009, the Associated Press quoted "two U.S. officials" as saying that Bergdahl "had 'just walked off' his base with three Afghans after his shift." On July 6, 2009 -- again according to the Associated Press -- "the Taliban claimed on their Web site that five days earlier 'a drunken American soldier had come out of his garrison' and was captured by mujahedeen."

While Susan Rice claimed Bergdahl was "captured on the battlefield," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel agreed "there are still questions" about how he ended up in captivity. "[H]e's been held by the Taliban, we've -- we don't know where, and we don't know under what circumstances, for five years," Hagel told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.

"As far as we know, he was not held with any other Americans or any English-speaking people. We don't know that yet. I'm not surprised that there are still questions, and until we get the facts exactly what the condition of Sergeant Bergdahl is, we can't go much further in speculating. But you know, this is a guy who probably went through hell the last five years, and let's focus on getting him well and getting him back with his family." Hagel said "follow-on questions" about Bergdahl's captivity will come later.

Did the U.S. Negotiate With Terrorists? Susan Rice Dodges
June 2, 2014 -- "Point-blank, did the U.S. negotiate with terrorists in (Bowe Bergdahl's) release?" CNN's Candy Crowley asked National Security Adviser Susan Rice on Sunday.[/i]
"Candy, what we did was ensure that, as always, the United States doesn't leave a man or a woman on the battlefield," Rice replied. "And in order to do this, it's very important for folks to understand, if we got into a situation where we said, because of who has captured an American soldier on the battlefield, we will leave that person behind, we would be in a whole new era for the safety of our personnel and for the nature of our commitment to our men and women in uniform. "So, because it was the Taliban that had him did not mean that we had any less of an obligation to bring him back."

Crowley tried again, telling Rice, "You had to negotiate with terrorists to secure the release of the sergeant." "We actually negotiated with the government of Qatar, to whom we owe a great debt," Rice said. "But the point is, he was being held by the Taliban. We had the opportunity to bring him back. He's back safely in the hands of the United States. And that's a great thing." "Yes, and I don't think anyone argues," Crowley said. "I think the question now is...that no longer can it be said that the U.S. doesn't negotiate with terrorists?" "I wouldn't put it that way, Candy. I wouldn't say that at all." "How would you put it?" Crowley asked Rice. "Well, when we are in battles with terrorists and terrorists take an American prisoner, that prisoner still is a U.S. serviceman or woman. We still have a sacred obligation to bring that person back. We did so, and that's what's to be celebrated."

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, "We didn't negotiate with terrorists." According to Hagel, "The transaction really was done by the Qatar government and the emir's commitment to getting that accomplished. We facilitated that in different ways, but in the interest of our own intelligence and procedures, I don't want to go much further than that." Rice said the prisoner swap -- Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for five Taliban fighters -- announced Saturday by President Obama "evolved over a period of time." "In fact, going back some years, we have had intermittent conversations through the government of Qatar about trying to obtain the release of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl,"

Rice told Crowley. "So, it began over a period of months, back in -- this latest round began back in the end of last year, when we had the opportunity." She said the deal came together over the last several days. In February, the Taliban said it was suspending talks with the U.S. over a possible prisoner exchange. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement that secret talks over a prisoner swap have been underway in the United Arab Emirates. The announcement that those secret talks were being suspended came five days after the White House denied that “active negotiations” were taking place. “The process will remain suspended without the exchange of the prisoners until our decision to resume,” the Taliban spokesman said at the time.
