President Obama, facing rising bipartisan criticism over his handling of the Taliban-for-Bergdahl prisoner swap, dug in his heels Thursday and declared he would make "absolutely no apologies" for bringing an American soldier home -- as his administration stepped up its defense of the controversial deal.
The president fielded a question on the Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl controversy during a press conference on Thursday in Brussels, Belgium, alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron. Amid signals that the administration plans to aggressively challenge critics of the deal, the president brushed off the pushback as business as usual in Washington.
"I'm never surprised by controversies that are whipped up in Washington. That's par for the course," Obama said.
He reiterated that he was adhering to a principle that America does not leave soldiers behind.
"We had a prisoner of war whose health had deteriorated and we were deeply concerned about -- and we saw an opportunity and we seized it," he said. "And I make no apologies for that."

The narcissist does something wrong and expects to be praised.
People get mad about his wrongdoing.
The narcissist gets angry and insulted.
Well, when you’re perfect, there’s never a need to apologize since it’s impossible for you to do anything wrong.
The Brits are quite used to this sort of thing after dealing with the IRA for decades. They must see Obama as such an azz clown.
No apologies, just an endless list of excuses and lies.
He shouldn’t limit himself that way. He’s tried everything else.
Can anyone in the democrat party sound any more idiotic or stupid in their defense of this administration?
And, in other major news, a guy in a gorilla suit gets shot with a tranquilizer dart... We Obama, Emperor of the realm, proclaim, “Let it be written! Let it be done!”
Here is a tweet from Brandon Friedman, serving in the Obama administration as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at HUD:
“Here’s the thing about Bergdahl and the Jump-to-Conclusions mats: What if his platoon was long on psychopaths and short on leadership?”
As President, trading terrorists for hostages is wrong. You can’t do it. You were elected to make hard decisions and have failed the test. We will be leaving Afghanistan shortly and the exact same dudes who allowed training camps that led to 9/11 will be back in charge. 13 years and countless sacrifices and we have gone from point A to point A.
He stopped being a soldier the day he desserted!!!! - Now, do the right thing and prosecute him with the UCMJ for dessertion during wartime.. an offence resolved by firing squad.
Obama will empty Gitmo before his Summer Vacation
And then goes to extremes - scorched earth if necessary - to prove that he was right all along.

0bama will always side wig the islamists. H! too.
No apologies needed; they should not be accepted without true repentance, and that has not yet been demonstrated in any aspect of the present administration, so giving them would simply add hypocrisy to all the rest.
You own it, Barky.
Obama can save his apologies.He’ll need them for the parents of the troops who will die by the hand of those 5 monsters he released.
He will never apologize or even miss a minute of sleep over it.
Making no apologies to those who might get killed later by this islamic scum.
