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????"
Top five candidate!
Oh for sure. I’m just worried we could actually do it. ;)
Obama’s regular supplier was on vacation in Medellin and he heard from the CIA that Bowe had some really great shit. So he had Jarret wire a few million to the captors.
Sorry, misread title. Thought you were looking for defense against swap. On your subject,

Sitting Bull v. Custer
Sitting Bull wins. Says Custer and his soldiers have to wait at the bottom of the hill while all the indians in the world ride down on them.

Obama v. Taliban
Taliban wins. Says Obama has to release his five scariest prisoners and give them a little walking around cash. Taliban will release their cribbage partner, aka, Bergdahl, thus giving Obama all the cover of a clear shower curtain.
Obama and Rice were afraid he was going to give up Coca Cola’s secret recipe.
Some of the entries are hilarious! We have some good folks at Free Republic! Enjoy....
Bergdahl is now 28 and off his father’s health plan. We had to bring him back so he could sign up for ObamaCare and that will save his life.
What’s with the reference to Bowe B. being a ‘Jewish Kid’?
Is his Mom Jewish? His Dad’s family name is Scandinavian.
Good one!
That's what puts the 'crazy' in the latest lame official excuse.
Bergdahl didn’t desert the Army, the Army deserted him.

LOL! Good! The picture is a nice touch.
Can't use that one; it's been used.
LOL!
Interesting!
Bowe Bergdahl has invaluable information to share about solar heating advances in rural Pakistan.
Obama: “When I said I was going to get our troops out of Afghanistan I meant ALL of them.”
Obama couldn’t stand the grief he would take from Putin if his legacy after Afghanistan was that he left it as a fanatical Badminton playing state.
