A shocking new Taliban video shows an apparently bruised U.S. soldier who has been held prisoner in Afghanistan for 18 months under the threat of being beheaded. Spc. Bowe Bergdahl, 24, appears thin with a wound on his left cheek. He is seen standing next to Taliban commander Mullah Sangreen Zadran, who has previously claimed responsibility for the kidnapping and has threatened to execute him.

Gonna’ be tough to get him out of there when one considers that we have a muslim sympathizer and an American hating illegal alien living in our White House. How sad!

So, we know who the taliban commander is, eh? I’m sure we can locate the village where his family/relations reside and blow the living sh*t out of it should anything bad befall that soldier.

Interesting we hear nothing in the media about this. If a Republican was President the media would be evry day asking “when are you going to free so and so?” An American has been held hostage for 2 yrs by the Taliban under Obama and the media says nothing. No one knows. they just cover it up.

BTW, any coincidence this video is released the day after Obama said “I don’t negotiate with hostage takers, unless they threaten to harm the hostage, then I give them whatver they want”

Prayers for this brave man and his family. I won’t even let my mind wander in what his parents must be going through.

BO only refers to Americans using tough language. When referring to our enemies he is all about appeasement.

You might want to read a bit about Bowe and the circumstances of his “capture”.

Having said that, prayers are always a good idea, imho.
