Saw that headline, and laughed right out loud. They think we’re stupid.


Yeah, like the Taliban really wanted to keep this huge victory by Radical Islam over the Great Satan America hush, hush and top secret.

That's exactly why the Taliban videotaped the transfer of Bergdahl and merged it with the video joyous reunion of the 5 Taliban war criminals with the rest of their Taliban in exile friends along with video proof that the 5 were were set free in Qatar with no conditions or restrictions and then posted that video on YouTube and every other Internet video site within minutes of the release of the five Taliban terror masters.

The need for strict secrecy of course had nothing to do with the fact that the last two times Obama tried to push the release of these 5 through, the project was shut down instantly by massive resistance from Congress and the US Military and serious threats of impeachment.

“I hope you include the “idiocracy” of voting for/supporting do nothing Republicans and Big Government Republicans (Enablers) because they are a huge part of the regression.”

I hope you include the fact that republicans had zero input on this and enabled nothing on this. It is not even Bush’s fault a tiny bit.

I don’t even know how you even get to “it is the republicans’ fault” for any of this.

Is the democrat / progressive / socialist base composed of individuals so utterly brain-dead that there's a chance this load of B.S. will be accepted? Or is the democrat / progressive / socialist leadership composed of individuals so utterly brain-dead that they actually believe it will?

So they accidentally didn’t tell Congress on purpose?


That, and also they actually did inform Congress by calling Harry Reid five hours before they released the five Taliban big shots to inform him.

And if you don’t believe that, you can just go ask Harry Reid for conformation.

These guys have all their excuse bases covered.

Some convenience stores have signs on the doors saying that their safes hold less than $50 or can’t be opened by attendants. The point is made that it is USELESS to try to rob them, because it isn’t possible.

That the terrorists knew Obama isn’t bound by mere LAWS tells us all we need to know about Obama. These terrorists were going to shoot the goose laying the golden egg, if Obama didn’t agree to keep quiet about an illegal swap? Then why did Obama brag about the illegal swap afterwards?

Why would the terrorists make such a deal like that anyway? Why not say, “Obama, you tell Congress that we’re going to kill Bergdahl if they don’t agree to the swap and keep quiet about this deal” - and then the terrorists could have had a LAWFUL RECOGNITION of the swap/negotiations and the precedent of negotiating with them?

Oh, but the reason is that his health was deteriorating so badly that he would have DIED if he didn’t get released right away! Isn’t that what they were saying yesterday or the day before?

Bergdahl was already safe in US custody so there would have been no reason for them to lie about that - no reason for them not to just say that the Taliban had said they would kill him if they didn’t do the swap. So if the threat to kill him was what made things so urgent, then why did they lie and say his health was deteriorating?

Did they threaten Obama with some other bad thing if the regime didn’t LIE to America about what really happened? How many threats are these terrorists able to make against Obama? How many times has Obama lied to America because terrorists are pulling his strings, threatening something bad if he doesn’t lie to us? If this story about threats to kill Bergdahl are true, these are the questions Americans should be asking as a BEST-CASE scenario for why Obama may have lied to us about the Bergdahl swap, let alone all the other times he’s lied to us.

Given that Obama is a total fraud, it’s a question Americans should have been asking all along. Even if Obama himself isn’t on the side of the terrorists, what would keep the terrorists from being able to threaten him into doing whatever they told him to do? It’s DANGEROUS to have a puppet for a Commander-in-Chief.

I WAS LISTENING TO TALK RADIO THIS MORNING (I think it was Glenn Beck) AND HE SAID IT IS NOW COMING OUT THAT THESE FIVE TERRORISTS WERE RELEASED 5 DAYS BEFORE THE RELEASE OF BURGDORF. APPARENTLY THE RELEASE OF BURGDORF WAS JUST A THANK YOU TO OBAMA FOR RELEASING THE TERRORISTS CAUSE THEY COULD HAVE JUST KEPT HIM. OBAMA WAS GOING TO RELEASE THESE 5 REGARDLESS.

I have been trying to find a story to confirm this, but so far no luck.

And after their two successful campaigns, why would they think anything else?
