Congratulations, Mr. President! And identical congrats to your sorcerer’s apprentice, National Security Adviser Susan Rice. By trying to sell him as an American hero, you’ve turned a deserter already despised by soldiers in the know into quite possibly the most-hated individual soldier in the history of our military.
I have never witnessed such outrage from our troops.
Exhibit A: Ms. Rice. In one of the most tone-deaf statements in White House history (we’re making a lot of history here), the national-security advisor, on a Sunday talk show, described Bergdahl as having served “with honor and distinction.” Those serving in uniform and those of us who served previously were already stirred up, but that jaw-dropper drove us into jihad mode.
But pity Ms. Rice. Like the president she serves, she’s a victim of her class. Nobody in the inner circle of Team Obama has served in uniform. It shows. That bit about serving with “honor and distinction” is the sort of perfunctory catch-phrase politicians briefly don as electoral armor. (“At this point in your speech, ma’am, devote one sentence to how much you honor the troops.”)

Obama doesn’t care. He wanted more terrorists on the loose.
I can’t help but be suspicious that this is being choreographed. I don’t know the motive exactly. Perhaps there are multiple motives.
One could be paving the way for Hillary!’s coronation.
I can think of another that would be even more ominous...
In my opinion, this knocks Kerry down a spot as the most hated American ever to don the uniform.
What was the deal with “Bowe” anyway?
He’s still a sergeant, and shows up in civies with a beard to meet with the CINC?
THANK YOU! I'm not the only one!
I said from the beginning that something's rotten in Denmark. Obama has said on numerous occasions that should the need arise, he would support Islam. I believe this is his way of giving the Taliban their senior leaders, refreshed from a stint at Club Guantanamo, and buying him a few years with no terror attacks.
That was the father of the recovered son Sgt Bergdahl.
Rice is Liar cum laude.
He also tried to get the sunset law killed which allows them to continue the fight in Afghanistan.
When combat troops are all out, all the captives in Guantanamo will have to be released.
The delay in the trials points to the worst of the worst being released by Obama.
Oh, that guy in the picture was “Pa Taliban”?
Nevermind my previous post.
Yeah, the guy who stepped onto the whitehouse grounds and, in perfect unaccented Arabic, claimed the ground for Islam, prompting a smile out of our “president”.
If that were the case, she would have avoided the lunch date with Otraitor to keep as far away from this as possible.
He will again be promoted very shortly.
Words like “honor,” “distinction,” “integrity,” “truth,” “racism,” “diversity,” “marriage,” and the like are dumbed-down to the loss of all serious meaning when issuing forth from lips and pen of liberals.
“But pity Ms. Rice. Like the president she serves, she’s a victim of her class.”
No pity for Mrs. Rice, her and the O’tard know exactly
who and what Bergdahl was. To them this squirrel was, in
their on terms and ideology, a true patriot.
Ralph Peters needs to quit steeling his mothers meds.
Maybe he’ll get a battlefield commision.
The question is by the time his administration is over will that even matter.
I saw The Colonel on The Kelly File last night, and I have never seen him so agitated.
The NRO article is a meandering load of BS. I don’t believe it. Neither do I believe we’ve heard all we need to know. I’m also suspicious, but can’t seem to game the upside if this was intentional (the fallout...the ‘crisis’, if you will).
I’m half wondering if the report out by Chmablis that the desertion allegations weren’t in the classified report on Bergdahl is true and that it’s possible the WH was totally uninformed, part out of ignorance and willful blindness.
Is it more possible that things really played out this way, leading to his release, or is it more possible that elements in our military and government collaborated on withholding the desertion reports to cause irreparable damage to the WH and RATs?
It’s a very good question I’ve not heard asked yet, as that prospect I find much more ominous and, in my mind, much more plausible with every day that goes by...
Period. Full stop.
“He’s still a sergeant, and shows up in civies with a beard to meet with the CINC?”
Sounds like a Fidel Castro wannabe.
