Recently, I documented the insane verbal diarrhea-like fountain of lame Bergdahl-Taliban swap justifications. They consist of "we did it because Bergdahl was in bad health", "because he is a soldier who served with honor and distinction", "Hey! Those who criticize him are Swiftboating him!", "The platoon colleagues who criticize Bergdahl are psychopaths", "If you don't like this swap, you are a racist who hates Obama", and "Obama couldn't inform congress because the Taliban would kill Bergdahl".
But they just won't stop, and it seems like it is a race to the worst. Mark Finkelstein documents an even lamer excuse: "That we wouldn't leave a good Jewish kid over in Afganistan, you know."
So, I figure the administration is running out of super-lame excuses for this politically motivated, purposefully distracting terrorist favoring deal. Free Republic to the rescue! We can help!
Here is my entry. Put yours on the thread:
"April 15 just passed, and Bergdahl's father took a huge tax hit because he could no longer claim Bowe Bergdahl as a dependent. We needed to swap five dangerous Taliban terrorists to give Bergdahl senior a little tax relief. What are you, a Tax-lover????"
Your title made me think of this contest.
Comeon guys, a little help here
My prediction stands: They will find “documents” showing he was a spy.
“One of the Five is my daddy and I just couldn’t let him rot in prison any more.”
Good! Dumb, but certainly not the dumbest. We need real DUMB excuses to feed to THIS administration. They won’t use any plausible ones.
Spy for who? You don’t mean our US do you? Ridiculous.
Nice! :)
Very good! Namath needs amusing!
...for haircuts and badly needed personal grooming.
1. Libs including the President and his senior advisers are really as stupid as we think they are.
2. Obama foolishly believed that he could, with the help of the MSM, supress the fact that Bergdahl was a deserter and very likely a collaborator to boot.
3. Obama was blackmailed into making a trade that even he knew would be political poison.
4. Obama was just doing his job as an al Qaeda operative.
Oprah needed Bergdahl to interview for Super Soul Sunday. The GITMO boys were merely karma paid forward.
My prediction is that he will come out as gay and demand sexual reassignment surgery.
The only reason he left his platoon was because they were homophobic and were mean to him.
We need to counter the “Isn’t one soldier’s life worth it?” defense or “He’s really a good guy” or “If that was my kid”.
Our answer should be no. How many of our kids are dying every day to stop terrorism, how many coming back with no legs or PTSD? They sacrifice their lives to protect America from terrorists. Why would one soldier’s life trump all of theirs?
Yet Obama sent in five super-bad terrorists to go after those soldiers serving in the field or to go after America. How many ‘kids’ will that cost us? I guarantee the number will be staggering next to one POW no matter who it was.
The left is pushing this no soldier left behind meme but there will be many soldiers left behind thanks to Obama. Don’t be afraid to say the truth. They think public opinion might turn if we say Bergdahl wasn’t worth it, time to take that chance. Too much at stake to play the their game.
Good job!
“Our intelligence told us he was a woman trapped in a man’s body trapped in a terrorist camp trapped in a foreign land because of Bush’s war, so it was triple word score rescue personally overseen by the president in the command center where he was black and it reminded him of his grandfather and his father so he did it for the children and learned about the next day on the television in the gym where he was pumping iron.”
If this is not a thread winner, it will be in the top five! BRILLIANT!
We needed to bring him home so we could try him for desertion.
