POW dad’s bizarre deleted tweet raises questions about Obama’s prisoner swap

A Twitter posting by the father of the serviceman released from Taliban captivity Saturday in exchange for five prisoners from Guantanamo Bay is raising deep questions about what exactly the Obama administration did to get Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl out of Afghanistan.

Here’s the tweet, which Robert Bergdahl posted May 28 – before his son’s release – and deleted Saturday, according to Twitchy.com.

Whatever else it might be, “God will repay for the death of every Afghan child, ameen!” doesn’t sound like a rousing call to patriotism.

ABalkhi is the Twitter handle of Abdulqahar Balkhi, a Taliban spokesman.

It’s important to remember the elder Bergdahl posted the message while his son was still in captivity and might have been willing to say anything while talking to the sergeant’s captors. It’s also unclear whether the tweet was intended to be public.

But the contents of the posting are making a lot of people suspicious.

The circumstances of Bergdahl’s capture are already odd — no one knows why he left that Army base five years ago and a USA story published Saturday shows Bergdahl is thought by many in the military to have either deserted or gone AWOL.

Also, the release of Guantanamo Bay terrorists in exchange for him violates a longstanding U.S. policy of not negotiating — at least publicly — with terrorist organizations. It also violated U.S. law that requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice before Gitmo prisoners are released, according to top Republicans on the House and Senate armed services committees.

Every drop of blood these 5 Taliban Terrorist commanders spill will be on Obama’s hands.

And every single death these 5 released terrorists cause after their release is on Odumbo’s head. He alone will have caused countless deaths, no doubt, and be held accountable for none of them. Might as well have a 5 year old in charge of this country. We are all in a careening car going 100 mph driven by a nutjob.

He also retweeted a celebration message in Arabic from someone celebrating the deaths of NATO troops..this guy is a strange one for sure

A larger strategy is at work here. This is just one of many cases and a continuing trend of expanded use of executive power. Violate a law here, another law there, bypass congress, impose regulations by agency mandate, legislate on the fly, refuse to testify, etc. Get the populace used to the idea of absolute and arbitrary rule.

Obama knows Congress won't face the truth about how they're being abused so they'll make up stories to assure themselves it's 'ok'. It's not OK... Obama and goons are walking on them... Who ever's behind these choices understands social psychology...

Have you seen this?

Did U.S. trade five jihadists for one jihadist?

The “Kids” used the islamic arabic spelling for AMEN....in one of his “tweets” so I’m suspecting he’s quite the supporter of islam.

Im smelling the aroma...of a setup...in this quite possibly fraudulent “trade” deal.

its just too convenient

I saw the elder Bergdahl at his WH appearance today, with his muslim-like beard.

This story from the very beginning made NO SENSE (even from his disappearance/desertion). O has done every thing the missies wanted. Now this obvious follower is blathering on about how proud he is of his son and his actions.....traitors ought to be shot
