In an article Monday on the Daily Beast website that Bergdahl was not on patrol, as some reports have suggested.
“There was no patrol that night,” he wrote. “Bergdahl was relieved from guard duty, and instead of going to sleep, he fled the outpost on foot. He deserted. I’ve talked to members of Bergdahl’s platoon_including the last Americans to see him before his capture. I’ve reviewed the relevant documents. That’s what happened.”
The president, as commander in chief, has sole authority to order the launch of nuclear weapons.
Yea, so concerned that they held out for five of the most virulent enemies America has.
Where's my comment? Ah, here it is!
None Dare Call It Treason!
Ive gotta admit, I was surprised at the boldness of trotting Rice out on the Sunday talk shows to discuss this given her past on Middle-Eastern-Issues-on-Sunday-Talk-Shows...
i.e. Benghazi.
Are we supposed to think shes a credible spokesperson? Anything she says should automatically be assumed to be the opposite.
***Boldness? Sure but I’d say more like arrogance, in your face taunting. They’ll keep pushing because the media carries their water & GOP afraid to be called racists. Whomever thought this would get the VA scandal out of the limelight is sadly mistaken. This “swap” stinks to high heaven.
I also read that he was drunk & wandered off. So many stories floating around..
Howie Carr and Col. David Hunt of Fox had an interesting radio program this past afternoon. One of the guys who went looking for Bergdahl called in.

I read that, too.
Drunk is NOT an excuse.
we can dream!
“to Dream The Impossible Dream...”
when TIme Magazine goes off on this as they already have....barry MAY be in real trouble.
When the TIME READERS get fed up with barry..he may have a meltdown
Heck ... He has already been deemed by the President to have performed "Honorable Service" to this country. My guess is that Mr. Bergdahl is about to suffer some kind of medical complication and will be unable to reveal his side of the story. Either permanently or for at the very least until after the Mid-term elections.
I think this guy is not just a deserter, He’s an operative. He is now a muslim and is at war with the U.S. Along with Obamas help they helped get 5 major figures for the Taliban freed to re-enter a war against the U.S.
They’ll claim he was a CIA operative working undercover...
And that it is all classified so they can’t say anymore...
So don’t ask anymore questions...
Ghost, Da NSA has got the goods on everyone.
I’d really like to see that Snowden/Greenwald list.
Col. David Hunt on BOR’s just said that this worthless deserter cost the lives of 14 brave soldiers sent out to search for him.
Sickening.
Col. David Hood stated that Bergdahl called the base on a cell phone a day or so after he left and TOLD them he deserted! Also, he stated that there have been 14 American’s killed while looking for this POS.
Correction. It’s Col. David Hunt. Not Hood.
He also mailed his uniform home and left his rifle behind before leaving, so he clearly was not “on patrol.” But obviously, the Taliban wasn’t going to say, oh, see, he just walked up and joined us...cool!
Ugghh, makes me sick to my stomach..
