Congressman: Did you put our soldiers at risk?

Hagel: Soldiers are always at risk.

Congressman; Who selected the 5 detainees?

Hagel: These 5 have been discussed. Why these? I don't know.

The chairman did suggest that discussion of Bergdahl at this hearing was beyond the scope. He's right - the hearing is to get information on the 30 day notification requirement that was ignored.


They should look into whether the reason the 5 Gitmo Four Star Terror Generals was released in such a secret and rushed fashion was because it was now or never time since the release needed to timed to get them out of Gitmo before the fives colleague, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (also a Gitmo alum released by Obama in 2009) in Iraq launched the military offensives in Mosul and Tikrit

The excuse that Bergdahl was critically ill and near death is obviously false and total BS and the timing between the release of the five and the start of the ISIS/Al-Qaeda military offensive in Iraq is very suspicious.

Qatar is the new clearing house for al-Qaeda and world wide terror.

Qatar is also the one driving the terror insurgency in Syria

Qatar is also country who we released all of the Gitmo Taliban and al-Qaeda detainees who have went back to Jihad to.

Qatar is the destination if record where the stinger missiles that have been shooting down American helicopters were sent to

Consider this , after the recent insurgent military offensive in Iraq, led by another Gitmo detainee released by Obama in 2009, what would be the chance that Obama would be able to release the 5 Taliban generals now?

Pretty good explanation of why there was such a rush to free these five if we consider yesterday as the cutoff date for obama’s Gitmo terrorist release options

Excellent points.
I want to know what happened to the Malaysian jet and its cargo? Maybe the Talibannies promised Boy King Hussein they wouldn’t spread the germs until after he was situated in his new digs in Islamabad?
There has to be more to it than one towel headed sympathizing freak traitor.
Like you said, too much has happened in a couple days for it to be coincidence.
Appears the Mosul banks were a prime target as well. A nice payment to the Haqqani with plenty to spare for ammo for the weapons we gave them and maybe a bigger boom soon.
It’s beyond me how this muzzie loving fool is still calling any shots.
Nothing makes sense but at least my tin foil hat still fits.

Can someone here please explain THIS? No idea what to think, what was he doing in the Army in the first place? The following was confirmed by the Coast Guard, (Wash. Post Article) only the part about psychiatric problems is not confirmed, but certainly implied. And why is this not al over the news? Is it a set up for an AWOL insanity defense?

Friends claim Bergdahl was discharged from Coast Guard in ‘06 for psych reasons
