Let's Come Up With The Dumbest Bergdahl-Swap Defense!

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????"

He didn't really desert, he just went out for a stroll.

He was misunderstood when they said he was asking to find the Taliban. He wasn't proficient in the language. He was looking for a Taco Bell.

This has been a stellar thread, very successful. 60 posts in less than two hours. Well done, fellow freepers!

As my mom said about my dad’s boss who claimed to be Norwegian - there are Jews in Norway too.

Obama: “Bowe’s dad and I have become good friends, and I thought that getting his son back might help us take it to the next level. I’d love for that beard to tickle my...fancy.”

good one

Those kids in GITMO have been away from their parents, family and friends too long, so we want to get them home as soon as possible to avoid any further PTSD.

Those kids in GITMO have been away for so long that they may have forgotten how to live in the 7th Century, so we need to get them home.

We need the space at GITMO in case those damn Tea Party people continue to act up.

Winner!

The answer just came to me. It’s so glaringly obvious. Bergie is expert in ballet and martial arts. It’s a Russki thang. Obama needs him to go mano a mano with Putin over that whole Ukraine thingy. Rice has set the tone already. “Bergie has served with honor and dinstinction”. Why, the boy is a ready made globe trotting statesman....and if he buys the farm Benghazi style...then, well....he did desert, after all...

Which is why I linked to Twitchy. It’s just too hard to compete with the real idiots out there.

Already underway...

Although he had a few roadblocks to overcome to be a good candidate in Obama’s cabinet because he was up to date on paying his taxes, Berghdal will be the perfect pick to replace Shinseki as Secretary of Veteran’s Affairs.

[RedMDer]

Obama confused Aghanistan for Mexico.

[Cheerio]

Bergdahl didn’t desert the Army, the Army deserted him.

Everyone on the left is anti-war. This DEFECTOR will become - if not already - an icon to the libtards. They will spin until the media begins to ignore this story and moves it out of the publications and off the air.

Next week we will be treated to an entirely NEW SCANDAL - they seem to get worse as the weeks and months go past under our boy king. 2+ more years? I don't think this Constitutional Republic can endure 2+ more.

Obama thought he had stumbled on a new twist in reviving his Cash for Clunkers program.

[Linda Frances]

Obama and his ilk are not dumb. They are glad to let people think that so he can do whatever they want. They are trying to turn this country into the worse commie/Marxist/dictatorship place in the world. If we try to impeach him his worshipers will scream he didn't mean to do it, and blame some low level flunky and how can you attack someone who made a mistake. They will use stupidly to achieve their dream of total control to destroy this country.

Obama: “Bergdahl? I thought we were trading the five Tollieban guys for a BIRD DOG!”

[abishai]

He needed a very good excuse to meet up with the Bergdahl family before secretly publishing “Dreams of Bowe’s Father.”

[Political Junkie Too]

Bergdahl was trying to be a war hero like his idol John Kerry so he could run against the Republican who took Larry Craig's Senate seat in the 2014 Idaho election. Since Bergdahl got captured and released too late, he will have to run against Crapo in 2016.

Bergdahl for Senate 2016.
