President Barack Obama's national security adviser said Friday that her full-throated praise of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was appropriate given the former Taliban prisoner's willingness to go to war for his country -- despite questions about whether or not he deserted his Army colleagues. Susan Rice, who on Sunday said Bergdahl served the United States with "honor and distinction," told CNN in an interview that she was speaking about the fact the Idaho native enlisted and went to Afghanistan in the service of his country.
"I realize there has been lots of discussion and controversy around this," Rice said. "But what I was referring to was the fact that this was a young man who volunteered to serve his country in uniform at a time of war. That, in and of itself, is a very honorable thing."
Rice said Friday that it was essential for the military to hear Bergdahl's side of the story before coming to conclusions about what prompted his capture by the Taliban.
"This is a young man whose circumstances we are still going to learn about," she said. "He is, as all Americans, innocent until proven guilty. He's now being tried in the court of public opinion after having gone through enormously traumatic five years of captivity."

Disgusting piece of cr**. How about the “illegal” trade off for a bunch of murderous muzzies? Was that good, too?
This woman is a paid liar.
She went on 5 TV shows on one Sunday and told the lie about Benghazi being caused by a YouTube video that no one had seen.
She knew she was lying when she did it.
The White House kept it up for week afterwards.
She’s an ***!
This is a blatant misrepresentation. He didn't SERVE with distinction and that's what you meant when you said it. Now that he's pled guilty she is just trying to walk back what she said at the time to justify Obama's horrible deal.
“Honorable” doesn’t mean the same thing to America’s enemies as it does to regular Americans.
+1000
What’s up is down!!!
Hang them both.
Lets go back, if you will, to 1864. Had Bergdahl deserted the Union Army to fight along the side of General Lee and the south, how would she feel about him then?
History is going to be brutal to these pathetic leftists..
She would have been smarter to take a pass on addressing this now.
All this did was remind everyone of her praise for him.
I guess it depends on how one defines "honorable".
I am sure CNN will track her down and ask her about her comments back them.....
Why does Susan Rice still have security clearance?
Regards,
Rice lied to protect muzzies and her boss (excuse the redundance.)
Calling her a stupid b!tch is an insult to mentally impaired female dogs everywhere.
I’m not surprised that she would call it honorable. America’s socialists have always honored treason.
This is a name and face that appear when the biggest whoppers are going to be thrown to the press by the BHO inner circle.
