And NPR’s point is...?

What was meant to be a “ra-ra” American “hero” rally (MISSION ACCOMPLISHED) has blown back into the faces of the Obama Administration.

So much for the distraction from the ongoing scandals.

And what do they do here? Lie, obstruct, shield information, deny, and now attack the critics as “swiftboaters”.

6 Dead because of Bergdahl? How about 8?

Via Michelle Malkin…

“Combat Outpost Zerok was almost overrun, multiple soldiers were wounded and PFCs Justin Casillas and Aaron Fairbairn lost their lives fighting that day,” the soldier told me. (I wrote about their deaths in my July 8, 2009 column, not knowing they were related to the Bergdahl mess.)

Is there an explanation why Bergdahl is the ONLY Taliban ‘captive’ to LIVE!

Another empty scandal! The left never ceases to amaze in their lack of shame.

A lead dripping with sarcasm. I can’t stand these elitists.

It wasn’t the Benghazi scandal that the Bergdahl scandal replaced. It was the VA hospital scandal.

Its easy to make that mistake. There are so many Obama scandals; its hard to keep up.

“But let me just make a very simple point here, and that is regardless of the circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be, we still get an American soldier back if he’s held in captivity. Period. Full stop. We don’t condition that. And that’s what every mom and dad who sees a son or daughter sent over into war theater should expect from not just their commander in chief, but the United States of America.”

Idiot. What about the moms and dads who are about to lose 100-10,000 sons and daughters due to the release of 5 major terrorists?

CNN would never be shamed into covering this non-story.

Naturally, for NPR, only “the political right” has any interest in getting to the truth about Benghazi. Everyone else knows the main issue is to prevent Benghazi from damaging Hillary’s Presidential run.

Even if we are just going to try and execute him for desertion and possible aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war?

where four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador, were killed during a September 2012 attack on U.S. facilities in Libya

Cant they get the story right? We all know that the ambassador died of smoke inhalation. -sarc

Well of course. Because in their great zeal to see what sticks when throwing it at the wall ... our “pundits” rush to judgment and throw out every possible theory. This is one of the MANY casualties of not waiting on the truth.

But hey ... this chaotic approach has worked so far. Just ask Issa among others. *eye roll*

Susan Rice trying to use Saul Alinsky’s Rule for Radical Number 4 - Use your adversaries values against them and make them live up to their own rules.

Patriotic Americans insist no American soldier be left behind and rightly so - it a fundamental core value to us.

Rice and the spin doctors want to use this ingrained value against the American people to cover for their negotiating with terrorists and trading 5 of the Talibans worst genocidal war criminals (they killed tens of thousands of their own people
in their quest for Islamic Purity and are even on the U.N.’s list of wanted war criminals) for a deserter who probably has committed treason as well.

What they did not factor into their calculations was the fact that these same patriotic Americans are not sympathetic to Bergdahl and most feel Bergdahl should be in a cell in Guantanamo Bay right next to the 5 guys Obama released and that the 5 Taliban war criminals should still be in Gitmo and never released.

Bergdahl and his desertion and possible collaboration are much less the issues in my mind than is the treasonous release of the Taliban 5. It more and more seems that the WH muzzie-symps were determined to release as many AQ/Taliban captives by whatever means available. Exchange for Bergdahl just happened to be the most convenient excuse at hand. We are looking at out and out treason by multiple players currently and formerly in the Obama administration.

"It was her erroneous 2012 talking points"

Erroneous talking points?

They were outright lies, not errors.

People make errors all the time. The Obama administration creates lies every moment they continue to be in office.

"To that degree, the Bergdahl controversy is shaping up like Benghazi, which has been a strictly partisan affair through and through."

These are "partisan affairs" only because the Dems make them partisan affairs by uniting in lockstep against doing the right and proper thing. And the media go along with it and promote the "partisan" narrative.
