Is Obama whitewashing a traitor?
NYP ^ | September 20, 2014 | Paul Sperry

Three and a half months have come and gone and the Pentagon has offered no clarity on what happened to alleged Army deserter and Taliban collaborator Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Fellow soldiers and other critics fear the military’s now-delayed investigation is shaping up to be a whitewash.

The case has become a political powder keg for President Obama.

Since he traded five imprisoned Taliban leaders for Bergdahl, the US Government Accountability Office has declared the swap illegal, and nearly two dozen House Democrats have joined Republicans in officially condemning the move for making “Americans less safe.”

...

His platoon mates... “Bergdahl is a deserter, not a hero [and] needs to answer for what he did,” said former Army Sgt. Evan Buetow, who served with Bergdahl and was present the night he vanished from his Afghan post.

Like Buetow, more than 60% of respondents to a recent Military Times survey believe that Bergdahl should be court-martialed for walking off his post in 2009 and costing the lives of six fellow soldiers who died searching for him.

But a senior Army official told me court-martialing Bergdahl would “make the president look bad.”

...

The evidence against 28-year-old Bergdahl is overwhelming.

What a let down. I thought the post was going to be about Kerry or Killary.

I think Obama just wanted to release those five Taliban leaders. He wants to clear out Guantanamo entirely so why not start with releasing the five worst prisoners?

Getting Bergdahl back was just meant to provide cover--he didn't anticipate that the country would fail to cheer the return of a deserter/defector.

Silly question. Does a bear poop in the woods or is the Pope Catholic? Bergdahl is a deserter and traitor. Obama is covering for him.

Obama is whitewashing a whole bunch of traitors. He has a lot of them in his administration.

No kidding (to name a few of the more obvious).

Good points.

This evil bastard is one terrible nightmare.

It’s hard to believe there is anything the Obamanation could be blackmailed for. There is ample evidence of his homosexuality (first-person accounts of bath house frequenting and the Reggie Love relationship), birth in Kenya (by Michelle’s admission, native son claims by Kenyans, and a monograph written by Obama himself in which he names Kenya as his birthplace), and a crude, proven-false-by-experts birth certificate. And he still squats in the White House (when he isn’t golfing or fund raising). What else is left?

I agree but if it was all brought out, it would raise some eyebrows. Emphasis on ‘some’.

This guy could mate with a goat on the White House lawn and most people would say it was no big deal.

There is no way to even casually look at the facts surrounding this event and not reach the conclusion that he (or Jarrett or Hagel etc., ) was looking for any opportunity to release these terrorists back to fight against us,

The real question we should all be asking is why?

(Yes we all know obama is evil and sympathetic to the terrorists, but there is something still more specific going on here)

” We can’t know what they were REALLY traded for

How about letting ISIS take over Syria and Iraq in exchange for not attacking us.

Look at the one chosen for Secretary of State who should have done Leavenworth time for his stunts as a Naval Officer and I think that holds the answer.

I don’t believe it. Øbola will play the race card which, at his level, leaves all things open. The media will continue to carry water for him.

And, as an enemy islamist, he may not care in his end, as having let slip the nukes, his end would also be ours. Which would have made him happy.

The only mitigating factor is the bastard’s library. Whether or not he’s going to be able conduct his islamism from there will be a prime factor in his allowing, at that point, the rest of us to live.

That one statement makes me realize how low we have sunk.

Obama could give a rat’s behind about having Bergdahl back...Bergdahl was nothing but the mechanism by which Obama could get his five BFFs released. Where Obama screwed up was in not having any and all of Bergdahl’s platoon mates killed before bringing Bergdahl home...Witnesses are a troubling factor sometimes...

But he provided a gold-plated opportunity to set free some terrorist enemies.

And an opportunity to move toward freeing Amerika of Guantanamo, a national embarrassment and recruiting tool for Muslim extremism! What's not to like? Bergdahl is a HERO!!!

Do I need a sarc tag?
