Oliver North: I Know a Ransom of $5-6 Million Was Paid to Free Bergdahl

Tuesday on NewsMax TV, former U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Oliver North said U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was not a prisoner of war because he was actually being held "hostage" by the Haqqanis, a terrorist group separate from the Taliban and associated heavily with al Qaeda.

North said he knew there was at least a $1 million dollar ransom being demanded for Bergdahl some time ago so he estimated the price paid to release the hostage must be close to $5-6 million now.

Is this the reason he had to take the trip. Which of the passengers carried the brief case?

the key to understanding The Regime:

Examine which possible story is the most crazy and treacherous —THAT is it.

It is ALWAYS like that with this Regime.

Kinda the opposite of Occam's razor . . . unless you change one variable.

Start with the postulate that the Commander-in-Chief is an enemy of the United States of America.

The last time we paid a ransom to Muslims was just before Jefferson sent Steven Decatur to take out the Barbary Pirates. That ransom money was the largest line item on the US budget, nearly $1 million, a third of the cost of the Louisiana Purchase.

How many IED’s can you make with 6 million?
I’m guessing a lot.

Not sure how Oli would know, but holy cow if true...

This is consistent with what Brad Thor wrote on Sunday:

excellent questions and i’m sure the answers would surprise no one.

So he paid millions of dollars to the Taliban, for what? Protection? Death contract on Putin?

[Graewoulf]

* Did AWOL, (since 6-30-09), Sgt. Bergdahl volunteer to the Taliban to be traded for 5 Taliban Leaders held by fellow Muslim Obama?

* If so, then did the Taliban make a side deal with Obama concerning information they had on Obama’s Benghazi Massacre of 2012?

* If so, then Trey Gowdy needs to include this illegal Obamadeal in his investigation of Benghazi.

* Since this illegal Obamatrade came directly from Obama, will Speaker Boehner instruct Trey Gowdy to include this Obamatrade in the House Benghazi Investigation, or will Boehner form a New House Committee?

* Did the illegal Obamatrade of one deserter, US Sergeant for five Taliban Generals benefit the Taliban more than it benefitted the US?

* Did this illegal Obamatrade “provide material assistance to a terrorist organization?” If so, then Obama has committed a Felony, by Federal Law.

* Was this illegal Obamatrade “contrary to American National Security?”

* Does any aspect of this illegal Obamatrade rise to the level of “Dereliction of Duty” by the Commander in Chief of the US Military?

* If so, would Impeachment of Obama be a deterrent punishment enough “to make sure that this never happens again?”

I really don’t think Ollie would say it if he couldn’t back it up.

What I can’t figure out on this and other things done by this thug administration is this.... Why has nobody leaked the truth?

Answer, everybody who has or came close to it has been destroyed. Remember the poor guy who blew the whistle at the JD early on in the F and F deal? He has disappeared.

For what doesn’t matter. It was a transaction. Think of something like, “So, how much do you need for ‘X’?” What they’d DO with the money is their business, not 0bama’s.

“Millions for defense but not one penny for tribute” — there was a time when America was run by real Americans who had honor, courage, and strength.

[combat_boots]

Did the illegal Obamatrade of one deserter, US Sergeant for five Taliban Generals benefit the Taliban more than it benefitted the US?

Together, they killed >1000 men at arms.

[Popman]

Wow. this pile of dog crap is getting mighty deep...

If Congress can’t make the case for impeachment with this, then I don’t know what.

Maybe it’ll happen if the Republicans take the Senate.

[lightman]

If true, a lot of people in DC need to be in six feet under Ft. Leavenworth.

Fixed.

[Sacajaweau]

This is very unnatural. It tells me that they have met before on several occasions.

He didn’t pay 6 million to have the deserter released. Payment for the deserter was release of the Gitmo terrorists. I’m betting on the previous poster’s comment that the $6M transaction was cover for something else. He made payment to them Taliban/Afghan for some “thing” or service to be carried out. I need to go back and re-read this thread. On my second glass of Moscato, and things are getting a little fuzzy.
