Exclusive: Afghan villagers recall when Bergdahl stumbled into their midst
The Washington Post ^ | June 4, 2014 | Kevin Sieff

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Among the most tantalizing mysteries surrounding Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s departure from his U.S. military base in 2009 is this: Was he trying to find the Taliban? Or did he simply wander away and get captured? Politicians and members of the military have criticized the Obama administration’s decision to swap five jailed Taliban leaders for Bergdahl, saying the soldier may have deserted.

Until now, few details have emerged about the circumstances of Bergdahl’s disappearance from his base. But The Washington Post has reached Afghan villagers who spotted Bergdahl shortly after he slipped away from his base. To them, it’s clear something was wrong with the American. And he seemed to be deliberately heading for Taliban strongholds, they say.

“It was very confusing to us. Why would he leave the base?” said Jamal, an elder in the village of Yusef Khel, about a half-mile from the American military installation. (Like many Afghans, he goes by only one name). “The people thought it was a covert agenda – maybe he was sent to the village by the U.S.”(continued)

Just look at his parents and you’ll KNOW something’s wrong with him.

Looking at his parents, I can’t believe he is in the military at all

Father Of Soldier Who Obama Released, Declares Muslim Victory Call, And Obama Smiles As Soon As He Hears The War Cry Of Allah

By Ted on June 2, 2014 in Featured, General

By Walid Shoebat And Theodore Shoebat (A Shoebat Exclusive)

JUST WAIT TILL YOU READ ALL THE EVIDENCE WE ACCUMULATED ON THIS SUPPOSED RESCUE OPERATION.

FIRST THINGS FIRST

While the Obama administration is proudly touting how it was able to free an American soldier who was captured by the Taliban, what no one picked is the fact that Obama SMILED as soon as he heard the most famous war cry of Islam, “bismillah al-rahman al-rahim,” Arabic for “in the name of Allah the most gracious, the most merciful.”
Watch Obama smile as soon as Bergdahl gives the most famous Muslim expression, the “Bismillah” or the “Basmallah”:

The “basmallah” is the Islamic expression for victory and only indicates that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s father is a Muslim.

Think that the man is acting as “Muslim” for a stealth operation to rescue his son who is already in good hands in Germany? And what is with the long beard and trimmed mustache?

No this is not a bum, biker, or a Santa Clause fan. When one gives the basmallah, trims his mustache and elongates his beard, its the first sign of a convert to Islam, just as that an ex-Muslim putting on a cross and saying, “In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,” is evidence enough of conversion to Christianity. But there is much more we obtained on this stealth jihadist.

But first, Obama’s smile says much. Obama has never declared the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and has no real testimony of converting to Christianity, as his pastor Jeremiah Wright stated:

I made it easy for him to come to an understanding of who Jesus Christ is and not feel that he was turning his back on his Islamic friends and his Islamic traditions and his understanding of Islam

EVIDENCE THAT BERGDAHL CONVERTED TO JIHADI ISLAM

We were first hit with news from Brietbart that the Taliban said that Robert Bowe Bergdahl’s son, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, converted to Islam, changed his name to Abdullah, and even trained the Taliban in bomb making techniques.

And like father like son, the young Bergdahl, also trims his mustache and extends his beard, as these pictures show:

The rest of the history…

“We think he probably was high after smoking hashish,” Manikhel said. “Why would an American want to find the Taliban?”

There's a nugget for you.

Of course, this could always be a version of “Roots” when Africans told that author what he wanted to hear!

That’s why everyone is suspicious: why encourage this nutty kid to join the military when he could have joined the Peace Corps? I suspect he was encouraged to cause trouble.

WaPo independently confirms what Bergdahl's platoon-mates have said all along.

There's the bigger headline.

Yeh what father of a soldier on an FOB in Indian country gets an email from his kid saying he wants to take off and tells him to follow his conscience? How about nobody. That’s like saying “yes son go out and commit suicide” Or “yes son I think desertion is definitely an option for you.”

The father is as nutty as the kid.

Here are Birddog stories from Afghans.

From the article, on Afghan said:

““I had forgotten about that abducted American,” said Manikhel. “I hope the U.S. can re-arrest the Talibs that they released.””

This Afghan has more sense than our Islamocommunist dictator, ValJar, Susan Rice and Dempsey COMBINED!

This guy has all the earmarks of being a real bust-out! The more we hear the more convinced we are about just what a flake he was.

When you think of the sense of fidelity these soldiers typically all have for one another and to hear his comrades speak as they do about HIM... well that is pretty dramatic.

It seems he was universally acknowledged to be a creep!

I’ve been appalled at this father’s behavior, including influencing his son to self destruct.

I heard this morning that the military is at his little compound in the mountains. And he’s refusing to speak now. Either that or the military told him to shut the hell up. I hope they hold him down and shave him.
