I’ve been saying the same thing for a few days, here and in Yahoo discussions.

The Berghdal trade was meant as a distraction from the many other scandals, and anybody that follows the issues can easily notice that, Benghazi and the VA and IRS scandals, are not the big headlines lately.

Like I said yesterday in some of my FR posts, and like I’ve said in posts in other forums, Obama has won the week, and the American people have lost focus of the real issues which affect our daily lives.

We need to refocus the attention on the VA and Benghazi affairs.

While the article makes many interesting points about Obama & the radical agenda, tactics & amorality, I feel compelled to try to introduce a cautionary note. We do not really know all the details of the Berghdal trade. It has become not only a distraction from other issues, but in the intense focus from our side, may have created a further vulnerability, if there is some "secret" aspect, which changes the overall aspect, calculated to be revealed later.

Since the article suggests a chess move, this naturally comes to mind. It is not the level of a Grand Master, but simply the standard little surprise that Hollywood sticks into almost every intrigue or counter-intrigue movie. A College Sophomore could dream it up.
