Taliban Release Video Purporting to Show Bergdahl Transfer
NBC News ^ | 06/04/14 | Staff

Posted on 06/04/2014 1:09:10 AM PDT by BunnySlippers

The Taliban has released a video purporting to show Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl being handed over to American custody. ---

The 17-minute video released Wednesday shows a clean-shaven Bergdahl, dressed in white, sitting in a silver pick-up truck prior to his release.

The video was sent to NBC News by a known Taliban spokesperson. It was not immediately possible to independently verify the video's authenticity.

As a helicopter comes in for a landing, Bergdahl is brought out of the truck to wait, standing and clutching a plastic bag. Armed men dot the hillside above him.

Bergdahl is then led by two men, a white flag waving, to greet three men in what appear to be civilian clothes.

Didn’t Chuck Hagel say he was in terrible health?

a clean-shaven Bergdahl

Clean shaven for purposes of erasing any evidence which would have indicated he had adopted the lifestyle of the Taliban?

Imperative to move quickly for Bergdahl’s health?
He looks like he’s been pounding Hostess cupcakes.
More lies from the most transparent administration ever.
Imperative to *impeach* quickly for the nation’s health.

“We believed that the information we had, the intelligence we had, was such that Sgt. Bergdahl’s safety and health were in jeopardy,” Mr. Hagel said. “In particular his health was deteriorating. It was our judgment that if we could find an opening and move very quickly, we needed to get him out of there, essentially to save his life,” he added.

“The first focus is on his health and getting the medical attention he needs,” Mr. Hagel said.

Every time I watch the video my impression is he is crying when he talks to the Taliban at the car.
As if he he is sad to see them go.

Freshly shaved head and face. Don’t the martyrs do that just before they go kaboom?

I was watching the vieo from a more recent post and seeing in the Muslim garb I was expecting him to start crying as he was sad to leave and didn’t want to go back to the country he resented. If they had a prayer rug out there I’m sure you would have seen him bow down and suck allah’s toes.

What do you wanna bet he will act as a sleeper cell and have his own Jihad against the US. Wait for it.

He looks like he is about to cry and not tears of joy, but of sadness that he is leaving the Taliban and Afghanistan, a place he calls HOME.

Concerned about his health in what way? Did Michelle Obama notice he was eating too many doughnuts and soda? He is a dough boy and doesn’t have the physical traits of someone that supposedly has cancer.

as Calvinists

I never heard of any "Calvinist" (or any Christian, for that mattter) who says "Bism'Allah, alrahmen alraheem ameen."

Maybe they were Calvinists years ago, but I think this is MSM spin to cover up Islamist sympathy.

The Bergdahls are Presbyterians, and most Presbyterian denominations are WCC apostate. The WCC used to give money to national liberation, i.e., leftist guerilla groups and now support abortion, gay marriage, and the whole globalist agenda. They may give lip service to the Westminster Confession, but that is the extent of it.
