White House Fudges Words To Avoid 'Turncoat For Terrorosts' Charge
Investor's Business Daily ^ | February 3, 2015 | IBD EDITORIALS

Semantics: If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck ... well, you get the idea. But not this White House, which called the Fort Hood massacre by a self-proclaimed jihadi yelling "Allahu Akhbar" "workplace violence."

Despite Army denials, desertion charges appear likely and imminent in the case of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who walked away from his combat post in Afghanistan.

The White House line that we traded five Taliban generals for him because "we leave no man behind" is wearing thin. We do and should leave deserters behind, and if we ever get our hands on them, their fate is usually not a happy one. Neither should Bergdahl's be.

The administration believes that its trade for the five Taliban leaders — who are eligible to return to the battlefield in three months, and one of whom has already phoned his old terrorist pals — could still possibly be explained away as a well-intentioned mistake.

At the time, Bergdahl was said to be in bad health, and he hadn't been officially charged with anything. And besides, the Taliban is not a terrorist group.

What does it mean when “your side” is playing word games and the “other side” is killing you?

Next this wretched administration will blame the whole thing on outgoing SecDef and nominal Republican Chuck Hagel.

Although nauseatingly disgusting to consider, there is evidence that the US has, in fact, left behind at least some of our captured in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Probably most ended up in the former Soviet Union. Some were referred to as “Pearls” as they were valuable trading commodities.

It means “you lose.”
