Two secret videos showing rapid deterioration in Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's health persuaded reluctant military and intelligence leaders to back the prisoner swap that has stoked a backlash, officials said Tuesday, as the Army launched a new probe into why the soldier disappeared from base shortly before his capture by the Taliban in 2009.

THE VIDEO MADE THEM DO IT.

Hmmm. Same excuse as last time. And just as believable.

Wow.. so.. once more Susan Rice is sent out to all the Sunday Talk/News Shows to claim Bergdahl “served with Honor and Distinction”.. which his fellow soldiers dispute, and now, the Obama White House is once more claiming that a situation happened.. “because of a video”?

As far as I am concerned, this is immaterial to the issues at hand: Did he desert, and did his actions while living with the enemy provide aid and comfort to them, and did his actions result in the deaths of US military personnel?

His physical or mental state at the time of the exchange is not relevant to whether this was the right or wrong thing to do.

The VA scandal made them do it. Now they are wishing the VA scandal was back as the lead story.

Obama and goons are giving us the finger with this newest lie. It’s meant to be insulting.

I have wondered about the possibility of him being heroin addicted. Taliban radio chatter about him mentioned him being intoxicated.

No.

It's worse than that.

Two secret videos.

This time they made sure they had a back-up video and made sure it wasn't on UtuBe.

Time to watch "Wag the Dog"

I predict within two weeks Bergdhal will claim he was acting as a double agent and the administration will come up with “documents” to prove it.

Now it’s secret videos, is it? There’s already reports that previous public videos had possibly doctored Bergdahl’s appearance to make him look worse off than he was.

But wait. There’s more. There’s these secret videos! Good Lord. The panic and desperation is palpable.

The traitors father is a member of Code Pink.

Code Pink is a bunch of Clintonites.

It was a coordination with the terrorist, Code Pink, and the WH/Hillary.

Just like the Nick Berg video.

Nick bergs father was a member of International Answer.

International Answer was a bunch of Clintonites.

The Nick Berg video was coordinated with terrorist, International Answer, and Hillary.

Your average democrat voter isn’t exactly the brightest bulb in the lamp, they don’t read or listen to the news, so they need something visual to get their attention.

That’s why you will keep seeing the exact same strategy coming out of the left.

The use of a video to give the typical dem voter something to look at, arouse their passion and give them something to talk about with the other numb nuts.

The protests and attack in Cairo (or anywhere in the world) weren't about that stupid 'video' either.

Brian Lilley: The MSM is lying about the muslim riots
Interviews on the streets of Cairo. 'Video' had nothing to do with protests and attack.

"Blame it on the Video" was a Fraud for the Cairo Rioting, Too

“Bowe looked in better shape than Obama does in this video”

Obama looks to me like a drug user so often. His eyes are glassy, with dark bags. He sometimes talks like he is stoned.

Are there any drug abuse councilors out there who can spot symptoms of drug use?

“the administration will come up with “documents” to prove it.”

****

From the same Photoshop source as King Urkel’s birth certificate.
