This weekend, White House national security adviser Susan Rice took a break from her busy schedule of scouring YouTube for blamable videos, and sat down with CNN’s Candy Crowley. You may remember Crowley as the “journalist” who likes helping floundering Democrat Presidents score points in political debates. Crowley wanted to know if, in fact, the United States had negotiated with terrorists in its effort to secure Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s release.
The short answer is “yes,” but this is the Obama administration. ...So you never get the short answer.
“Point blank,” Crowley asked. “Did the US negotiate with terrorists for his release?”
Rice replied:
“Candy, what we did was ensure that, as always, the United States doesn’t leave a man or woman on the battlefield. In order to do this, it’s very important for folks to understand, if we got into a situation where we said because of who has captured an American soldier on the battlefield, we will leave that person behind.
We would be in a whole new era for the safety of our personnel and for the nature of our commitment to our men and women in uniform. So, because it was the Taliban that had him did not mean that we had any less of an obligation to bring him back.”
Crowley reminded Rice that it was the Haqqani network that had Sgt. Bergdahl, and then pressed the question about negotiation.
“We actually negotiated with the government of Qatar, to whom we owe a great debt.”
See how that works? We only negotiated with Qatar. Qatar did “something” and we got our captive soldier back. We didn’t negotiate with terrorists at all! Our hands are clean!
If there are two people you can trust implicitly, it’s Candy Crowley and Susan Rice.

That is the kind of explanation a six year old gives.
we did not; our proxy did. Silly.

Geez she could give Jay Carney a run for his money in the spin department!
Susan Rice recites the latest chapter of the Bowe Jest.
So it was Qatar who released the 5 terrorists from Gitmo - we had nothing to do with it!
“Without the Senate we have the Clinton mess all over again”
There was a successful impeachment of Clinton that resulted in him being neutered for the remainder of his term due to the stigma of being the only elected President ever impeached in our history.
Exactly what is the Clinton mess you are referring to? Is it he was not removed or is it something else?
BTW, the GOP controlled the Senate and did not remove him. what makes you think history will not repeat itself with another Republican Senate?
It depends on the Senate. We really can only count on Cruz and Lee. The rest who knows?
“It depends on the Senate. We really can only count on Cruz and Lee. The rest who knows?”
What is the Clinton mess? You are not clear.
And what do you mean “It depends on the Senate.”? Are you saying removal or what?
Not too clear on what you are trying to say.
“A distinction without a difference”
I have no idea of what you speak.
Can you say it slowly so we can understand where you are coming from?
What distinction?
Lying liars who lie.
Meanwhile, Boner gets a tan.
Clinton was not removed from office and it was a big circus.
I'm sorry. I'm still buzzed from a minor surgical procedure I had earlier today.

“Clinton was not removed from office and it was a big circus.”
Yes he was not removed from office. The circus is how the MSM described it, which apparently you fell for hook, line and sinker.
Instead, though we had out in front of the American public, unfiltered by the liberal media, all the various charges of Presidential malfeasance through the admission of testimony by House members.
We need this desperately done now against Obama as the liberal media cannot protect against CSPAN.
Will it result in removal? Who knows, but my guess it will not, but he most certainly will have a much diminished stature before most Americans. Just like Clinton.
Yeah Good Luck. The spineless bastards in DC won’t do it.
Oh, okay——she didn’t negotiate?
So scratch the pickle-slicer job at McD’s.
Susan is promoted to McD’s ketchup pumper.
My recommendation-—Susan oughta take the pledge and swear-off talk shows.
She could always sell used cars if she gets the boot.
