Congratulations, Mr. President! And identical congrats to your sorcerers apprentice, National Security Adviser Susan Rice. By trying to sell him as an American hero, youve 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 (were 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, shes 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, maam, devote one sentence to how much you honor the troops.)

either way, it’s deflected the attention away from name dropping our top spy in Kabul, another impeachable offense
One traitorous birddog for a group of highly trained Jihadi killers, set free by either a traitorous president or invader. (We may not know which but we know it is one of those choices.)
B. Hussein doesn’t care. He knows that the pussy congress will keep jumping from scandal to scandal and never ever decide which one to pick in order to apprehend and prosecute him for his high crimes and misdemeanors.
Congress is like a bunch of emotion filled juveniles, never serious about real law.
Lord, help us!
Susan Rice seems to have taken Carney’s place as chief supporting public statement liar in that admin.
She has no shame. I guess she was rewarded for it in her view.
Obama blind sided? So, he didn’t know about the prisoner- traitor swap until he heard it on the news....
Rice's "see-how-easy-I-lie-smile" gave it away.
The Susan Rice Video Room is on the lower level (cackle).
Let me sell you a clue here. Look up irony and sarcasm. This piece is a slam dunk in exposing the feckless rulers that have plagued this nation since 2009.
“We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. “
Name that movie!
I believe you saw the father, as the deserter is still in the hospital in Germany.
A Few Good Men
I love the part where Kelly said “that was quite an indictment”. He continued on like he was not even warmed up yet. I think Col Peters is not an Obama fan, I somehow get that impression!
Kerry is still one behind Bobby Garwood.
Dempsey is now pouring cold water on that. Seems as though everyone in DC outside the WH grounds is running for cover, even the idiots like McCaskill who were there on the Sunday talkies praising what has now become a huge debacle.
Then we learn last night that it was 8, not six who were directly killed while out looking for him and the the worst of all, the 8 who were killed in Kamdesh that produced two CMH honorees because they couldn’t get air cover was because their air cover was on a mission trying to rescue that POS!

It will be real interesting to see the news unfold today once this new revelation is becoming known. Besides that, I am amazed just how many people I talk to have no idea what is going on at all. Several have no idea that a trade was made at all and even more think it is not a done deal yet. Thanks a pantload MSM!
That was Pops Bergdahl at the White Hut with Zero.
“We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. ”
Sounds like something Jack Nicholson would say.
Man. That is the best piece I have read in a while.
Which is exactly what John 'I served in Vietnam' Kerry did.
