Departing the FABULOUS WH Rose Garden
Susan Rice noted that he served with honor and distinction.
Can someone ask her a follow up and ask her specifically what in his record convinced her that he served with honor and distinction?
By “swift boat” they must mean “tell the truth”.
Just as was done with John Kerry.
Liberals really don’t like the truth. Kind of a vampire/sunlight thing.
Seems all the backlash is from his former squad mates and parents of the soldiers who died going out looking for him. The media just reports it. The WH whines about it.
[being Swift Boated] == [your carefully constructed line of BS gets undermined by the truth]
Fully expect Beckel to parrot this talking point later today on the “Five”.

Special forces found Bergdahl and captors but wouldn’t risk rescue for ‘deserter’

The Pentagon on several occasions had ground-level intelligence on where ArmySgt. Bowe Bergdahl was being held captive at various times — down to how many gunmen were guarding him — but special operations commanders repeatedly shelved rescue missions because they didn’t want to risk casualties for a man they believed to be a “deserter,” sources familiar with the mission plans said.
Commanders on the ground debated whether to pull the trigger on a rescue several times in recent years, according to one of the sources, a former high-level intelligence official in Afghanistan, who said the conclusion each time was that the prospect of losing highly trained troops was too high a price to pay for rescuing a soldier who walked away from his unit before being captured by the enemy.
A second source told The Washington Times that the rescue operation plans were “high risk” and became even less attractive in recent months when officials in the Pentagon’s Joint Special Operations Command grew convinced that the Taliban and the militant Haqqani network, whose operatives were holding Sgt. Bergdahl, were eager to cut a deal for his release.
Truth to Lefties is like Holy Water to vampires, which is why you are so horrified.
I want the hear the White House explain what they mean by “Swift Boating.” If they have to explain themselves...they are losing.
This White House is isolated and arrogant. They might try consulting others before making a rash decision based on inadequate information?

That the leftist media is resorting to this level of demogagery, reaching for rhetoric like “swift boating” should tell everyone here something. They can’t even rally otherwise sycophantic liberals on this one.
Typical of this crew of slime balls. Doubling down.
Expect WH orchestrated personal attacks on the vets that have told the truth.
And for those of you who believe that the butt licks in the media will turn in mass on Obozo, you’re dreaming. They will assist the WH in the personal destruction of these courageous vets that are speaking out.
OMG! That meme will absolutely finish Obama. Go for it! Couldn’t happen soon enough.
Bowe Bergedahl is a loony toon hippie scoundrel who has the death of at least 6 American on him who were out trying to rescue this deserter. These Dems and their presstitutes have a lot of nerve claiming he is being swift boated
American Patriots Against John KerryThe 1970 meeting that John Kerry conducted with North Vietnamese communists violated U.S. law, according to an author and researcher who has studied the issue.
Kerry met with representatives from “both delegations” of the Vietnamese in Paris in 1970, according to Kerry’s own testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 22, 1971. But Kerry’s meetings with the Vietnamese delegations were in direct violation of laws forbidding private citizens from negotiating with foreign powers, according to researcher and author Jerry Corsi, who began studying the anti-war movement in the early 1970s.
According to Corsi, Kerry violated U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953. “A U.S. citizen cannot go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power,” Corsi told CNSNews.com.
By Kerry’s own admission, he met in 1970 with delegations from the North Vietnamese communist government and discussed how the Vietnam Warshould be stopped.
It kind of pales in comparison to a POTUS releasing five top Al Qaeda terrorists though.
“the newly released American POW, a wounded man “
First I’ve heard that he was wounded, unless the alphabet a-holes are taking journalistic license with the term “wounded”. I’m going to suppose it’s just them lying again to help their boy.
What about the millions taxpayers supposedly paid over to the `extremist’ Taliban (not terrorists)? Did that turn out to be true?
It ain’t swift-boating when its the truth ...
I am proud of my fellow veterans, finally breaking their silence about this episode and about the VA atrocities. We are typically respectful and subdued, but we can lash out with a vengeance when pushed to the limit. And many Americans will follow the veterans’ lead, once we finally speak up and mobilize. More to come, I hope!
Notice whenever Todd refers to the Obama White House, it often has a "we" reference? He truly does consider himself as part of the regime.
