MSBNC host Chris Matthews became the first on his network to express the slightest bit of skepticism over the Obama administration’s deal to trade Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for five high-ranking Taliban officials from Guantanamo Bay, with Matthews repeatedly questioning the wisdom of trading an “AWOL” and possibly treasonous soldier for terrorist mass murderers.
Matthews opened his program Monday with a deeply suspicious look into Bergdahl’s statements and actions before he went inexplicably missing from his post in the summer of 2009.
In particular, the MSNBC host highlighted portions of a piece by late Rolling Stone reporter Michael Hastings, which revealed that Bergdahl repeatedly disparaged the U.S. military, said he was “ashamed to be an American” and talked of simply “walk[ing] off into the mountains of Pakistan.”
He also singled out as “cryptic” a statement by Bergdahl’s father claiming he was “proud of how much you wanted to help the Afghan people, and what [Bergdahl] was willing to do to go to that length.”
“Do you have any idea what he meant there?” Matthews asked The Daily Beast’s Kim Dozier. “Did he mean sort of leaving his post, leaving his rifle and uniform behind, heading off in the direction of Pakistan, being picked up by the Taliban? What did he mean ‘helping the Afghan people’ and that process? I don’t quite get that.”
“Is that the Afghan people they mean?” Matthews continued, questioning whether Bergdahl was in fact moving to join or work with the Taliban when he was captured.
Dozier let that question hang, but spoke forcefully for the prisoner swap. “In terms of why you rescue him, he was a U.S. soldier in uniform –”
“No he wasn’t in uniform, he left the uniform behind,” Matthews interrupted.
“He was a serving U.S. soldier –” Dozier tried again.
“But he left his post and he said — this is what I don’t understand,” Matthews continued. “Was he AWOL? And if not, why not? Why didn’t they declare him AWOL?”
Matthews also expressed profound skepticism over the idea that this trade might be a prelude to a peace deal with the Taliban, after Dozier said this could “possibly kick off reconciliation talks” with the Taliban.
“I just wonder what that could possibly — women have to now be covered up, their faces have to be covered up, no more movies over there, they blow up buddhas again,” he said, wondering what would happen if the Taliban gets power. “Are we going back to crazy Taliban behavior? . . . What kind of deal are we striking with these people?”
Liberal columnist and Marine Corps veteran Goldie Taylor was also grilled by Matthews. “Does this make sense?” he asked.
“I think it makes sense to me, because you know, in my mind, as a former Marine, we leave no man behind. We don’t qualify that –”
“But didn’t he leave his unit behind?” Matthews countered. “He left his uniform behind, he left his rifle behind and he told people if he didn’t like the mission he was headed to Pakistan. What was he doing?”
Completely unbiased, dispassioned, thoughtfull tingle free opinion to follow.
Creepy Chris will give it two days and then hop right back on the Obama bandwagon. He’ll start concentrating on how mean Ted Cruz is to pick on Obama for releasing vile fithy Jihadist murderers.
We keep on being outraged at Obama's Muther Effing treasonous and law breaking acts and yet we keep on letting him continue the destruction of our country! When will it stop? NEVER? Has this country totally capitulated to this hater of America, Muslim Marxist? We better pray every day and night that our Lord will forgive us for letting this evil man and his minions destroy and divide us.
Chris Matthews is a snake.
Even if he gets one right, he’s never to be trusted.
Subterfuge and misdirection is their game.
“He left his uniform behind, he left his rifle behind and he told people if he didn’t like the mission he was headed to Pakistan. What was he doing?”
What gets me is the calm. This is beyond outrageous, can you imagine what the families who lost loved ones on 911 are going through? You would THINK this would be on the headlines of every major newspaper in the country calling for impeachment proceedings, but no...Once again it’s the same crap -Kanyes wedding, what Justin Bieber is doing or the NY Post headlines “The secret life of Michael Jackson” This is unbelievable. What we have here is the possibility of the greatest act of treason by a sitting US President and the press is acting like he just released a grandmother for a parking ticket.
The development of a Fascist State like Hitler had in 1930’s Germany, and what Obama almost has now in the nearly former USA, depends upon opposition leaders who refuse to lead the opposition, but continue to stay in power by support of their morally weak supporters.
The last attempt to oppose Obama failed when Boehner, Cantor, McConnell and McCain caved in to the stonewalling refusal to negotiate by Reid and Obama in late 2013 and early 2014.
Until effective voter pressure can be brought to bear on the Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate to replace the Republican Leadership in the House and Senate, Obama will continue to “Fundamentally transform the United States of America” into the most powerful Fascist Empire that the World has ever known.
Will these opposition Congressmen and women act before the November 2014 Election, or will they continue to wait to lose again, as usual, to the Left Wing, low information Voter in November, 2014?
BTW, money and reason are wasted on multimillionaire career politicians as they cannot be bought or convinced - - - they are the hardened professional criminal politicians that we have, for decades, elected and tolerated, gratefully for the “free” stuff that they have bought our votes with.
Obama is just doing as he was raised up to do, and will never change.
Our opposition Republican Leaders are doing everything that they can to make sure Obama is successful, and they will never change.
The change must come from opposition House Members and Senators in “both” parties, before low-information voters have made up their minds about whether or not to continue the status quo.
The Summer of 2014 is the last chance for We, the People to force our House and Senate Members to change their leadership before Labor Day, 2014, when early voting begins?

Hardball stagehands said Chris pulling his head out sounded like a champagne bottle popping it’s cork.
He’s got to come up for air occasionally you know.
But he will re-assume the position as soon as he gets a large dose of reality.
Hey, Chrissie Matthews doesn’t even know who the Tally-Ban are.
I agree with you. Chris is taking direction from someone. He didn’t all of the sudden grow a brain.

What happens when they want the Blind Sheikh?
“...I have also heard that he got drunk and staggered off base(Bergdahl, not Chrissie)”

No way. He had gotten off night time watch duty and then left at night on his self-assigned mission from the moon god.
Why oh why didn’t we execute these evil mass murderers before Obama got a chance to do his part in promoting Jihad?
loving that new graphic of yours
This admin has shamed my country and has us well on our way to being a communistic caliphate member
plus it is finally nice to hear that Chrissy Matthews has lost the thrill. Now if he would put the bottle down long enough to actual be a journalist maybe things would change (hey I can dream too)
Did you catch that Michael Hastings wrote an article on him a while ago?
