1. This specific trade -- Talibani leaders for Bergdahl -- has been on the negotiating table for at least three years.
2. Yet, the Obama administration has had to know the whole story on Bergdahl from the outset.
3. They also evidently went to the trouble of "sanitizing" the Bergdahl file that was exposed to Congress over the past three years. Saxby Chambliss said there was no "desertion note", nor mention of one, in the file he saw. Nor were there any reports based on interviews with his fellow soldiers. So far as Congress was allowed to know, Bergdahl was simply "missing" and a "captive".
4. They appear to have counted upon the military hierarchy and the non-disclosure agreements, coupled with their lapdog press, to keep Bergdahl's real status from becoming known to the public.
5. For some unknown reason, they rushed the exchange to completion without advising Congress. Whether it was to offset the bad PR stemming from the VA Scandal, I don't know.
6. Now, the thing has blown up on them -- because the Pentagon is leaking and the soldiers have talked. Plus, the lap-dog press smells blood in the water.
However, recognize that, apparently, getting Bergdahl back has been every bit as important to the Obama administration as getting their five thugs back was to the Taliban!
Why?
And, now that the desertion (defector?) cat is out of the bag, they are sticking with their story -- even though it is patently obvious they no longer have a case (and that they actively tried to mislead Congress).
Bergdahl himself, not Bergdahl as a symbol, is somehow very, very important to these people. Or, perhaps, it's the elder Bergdahl who is important -- or some people he is connected to.
Something else is going on here...there is whole 'nother level to this affair.
The Oval Office cell will protect the Bergdahl cell.
in other words - it ain’t the skunk you can see that’s really the one that’s stinkin’. right ?
Obama was determined to release these dangerous enemies of the USA. He would do so at all costs. Forget Bergdahl, he was just the excuse, and a very poor one.
This is simply treason at the highest level.
The fact that the American president is a moslem and virtually an agent for America's enemies is too much for most people to accept. They will not believe it.
