Great link Tom.Here is post # 7 interesting to say the least.
..............
This “account” is all over the internet. Is it true? Can anyone verify its claims?

“I WAS THERE. I’m sick of all the lies. Here is the TRUTH, from someone on the ground. We were at OP Mest,Paktika Province, Afghanistan. It was a small outpost where B Co 1-501st INF (Airbone) ran operations out of, just an Infantry platoon and ANA counterparts there. The place was an Afghan graveyard. Bergdahl had been acting a little strange, telling people he wanted to “walk the earth” and kept a little journal talking about how he was meant for better things. No one thought anything about it. He was a little “out there”. Next morning he’s gone. We search everywhere, and can’t find him. He left his weapon, his kit, and other sensitive items. He only took some water, a compass and a knife. We find some afghan kids shortly after who saw an american walking north asking about where the taliban are. We get hits on our voice intercepter that Taliban has him, and we were close. We come to realize that the kid deserted his post, snuck out of camp and sought out Taliban… to join them. We were in a defensive position at OP Mest, where your focus is to keep people out. He knew where the blind spots were to slip out and that’s what he did. It was supposed to be a 4-day mission but turned into several months of active searching. Everyone was spun up to find this guy. News outlets all over the country were putting out false information. It was hard to see, especially when we knew the truth about what happened and we lost good men trying to find him. PFC Matthew Michael Martinek, Staff Sgt. Kurt Robert Curtiss, SSG Clayton Bowen, PFC Morris Walker, SSG Michael Murphrey, 2LT Darryn Andrews, were all KIA from our unit who died looking for Bergdahl. Many others from various units were wounded or killed while actively looking for Bergdahl. Fighting Increased. IEDs and enemy ambushes increased. The Taliban knew that we were looking for him in high numbers and our movements were predictable. Because of Bergdahl, more men were out in danger, and more attacks on friendly camps and positions were conducted while we were out looking for him. His actions impacted the region more than anyone wants to admit. There is also no way to know what he told the Taliban: Our movements, locations, tactics, weak points on vehicles and other things for the enemy to exploit are just a few possibilities. The Government knows full well that he deserted. It looks bad and is a good propaganda piece for the Taliban. They refuse to acknowledge it. Hell they even promoted him to Sergeant which makes me sick. I feel for his family who only want their son/brother back. They don’t know the truth, or refuse to acknowledge it as well. What he did affected his family and his whole town back home, who don’t know the truth. Either way what matters is that good men died because of him. He has been lying on all those Taliban videos about everything since his “capture”. If he ever returns, he should be tried under the UCMJ for being a deserter and judged for what he did. Bergdahl is not a hero, he is not a soldier or an Infantryman. He failed his brothers. Now, sons and daughters are growing up without their fathers who died for him and he will have to face that truth someday.”

Democrats: Lying their way to victory, 2012. That Americans died, well, that is just a casualty of victory.

You are SO right. Democrats will say or do anything because the end justifies the means. As long as they win, nothing can come back to haunt them. It's pathetic, really. And, if caught, their excuse is "everyone does it" as thought that's true when it isn't.

Oh yeah, thanks again for the thread this morning. LOL

Morning All!

Thanks AB, for the wakey-wakey ping and the best thread going.

What will be today’s lie?

One thing you can safely assume, the truth will be practically anything, except whatever she says.

There’s something so smelly about this I want to scream.

Musta paid Valjar the right amount of money....with this administration, always follow the money.

First, out of all the American soldiers assigned to Afghanistan, only ONE gets captive?

Then there’s those weird tweets by this guy’s father.

I want to keep an open mind and I suppose the father could have been forced to send out such things to keep his son alive.

But the story you copy is something I am hearing all over the place.

Please, please don’t tell me the President of the United States traded five vicious anti-American fighters for an American loser-burger, a traitor of the highest order.

Please don’t tell me it’s THIS bad, that once again Obama flips America the finger!

WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS???

Good question “where is the money allocated to VA going?”

Where does the money go for the infrastructure for the stimulus? Cavuto wants to see Dept of Transportation audit.

We can imagine where it is going, but we don’t know.

Only description for today’s lineup: Maximum Damage Control.

Got ‘em telling lies to cover lies that cover coverups of another few dozen layers of more lies....

Somebody got an over/under on when even these Sunday Morning Dreadfulls have to start editing off-camera groans and muffled laughter from guests and their own staff???

...hell, don’t bother. They’ve probably been doin’ it ever since Clinton.

The moslem in chief in the FNS footage on the release of GI, Bowe Bergdahl, in exchange for 5 filthy murdering terrorists, stating that "We leave no one behind"

FNS

Priebus: Clinton is trying to head off the Benghazi investigation. She seems to not know that al-Qaeda (or branch, thereof) was responsible.

==

According to timelines, the State Dept [who was in charge of the State Dept? Rhetorical question] issued an email [to personnel and other government agencies] at 6:06 p.m. ET on 9-11-2012 saying Ansar al-Sharia claimed responsibility for the attack.

[That was even before the 10:00 p.m. ET phone discussion between Clinton and Obama, and the 10:30 p.m. ET on 9-11-2012 statement from Hillary Clinton that blamed “inflammatory material posted on the Internet” for the violence.]

Your suspicions are probably correct Fish. This thing does smell and big time.

It's been surmised the zero is a Sunni Muslim and has little love for the shia.

Co-incidentally one of the five terror types released specializes in knocking off Sunnis in Afghanistan.

The coincidences just keep on coming with this insane clown posse

McCaskill defends government officials for continuing to use the video/movie as the cause — ‘because that was in the talkingpoints.’

[D-U-N-C-E!]

Wallace lets that fly over his head.

You would think that if any govt.agency had their budget tripled it should be a good thing for that agency not a disaster!!! What happened to all that dough?

To the Union? Bonuses, etc doncha know. Apparently meeting their demands trumps meeting the needs of the patients.

Exactly and of course the first thing this administration does with any scandal is start the clock to run and hope it runs out before the next scandal hits.There is always a next scandal,its who these terrorists are.

The activist Prebiusly known as Reince on FNS viciously ripping PIAPS. (seemed a little desperate...weak on delivery, but strong on facts)

Now lying she-RAT McHaskill, defending Hurk on her Benghazi involvement as she contemplates Presidential run.

Wallace:”What was her signature accomplishment?”

Wallace laying out the major foreign policy failures Russia, Iran, Syria,

Yup. And during the debate, Fat Candy had that so-called “transcript” that said Obama called it terrorism within a day.

Yet Rice came on all 5 Network Sunday shows 5 DAYS LATER saying it was a spontaneous outburst over the video.

They truly have no shame.

They hurt our country, do whatever, just to win, to hang on to power over the rest of us.

By they I mean the drivebys and the democrats.

Try this for a bit easier reading:

“I WAS THERE. I’m sick of all the lies. Here is the TRUTH, from someone on the ground. <p>

Ten minutes after the meeting with the Turkish diplomat the first shots are fired.Some coincidence.

The only way Hitlery can come out of this clean is not to have Gowdy even ask any timeline questions. How will she do that?

I don't see Hillary testifying under any circumstances. NO way she can come out clean.If that even matters anymore.
