The Unraveling
The Weekly Standard ^ | 6/7/2014 | Stephen F. Hayes

June 16, 2014, Vol. 19, No. 38

Late in the afternoon of Saturday, May 31, Barack Obama strode confidently to a lectern in the White House Rose Garden flanked by the parents of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, a soldier who had gone missing from his platoon in the mountains of Afghanistan in June 2009.

“This morning I called Bob and Jani Bergdahl and told them that after nearly five years in captivity, their son, Bowe, is coming home,” Obama said.

The president thanked service members who “recovered Sergeant Bergdahl and brought him safely out of harm’s way.” Obama also expressed gratitude to the diplomats who had handled the case, and he reported that his administration had “worked for several years to achieve this goal.” The president confirmed news reports from earlier in the day that Bergdahl had been freed as part of a prisoner exchange with the Afghan Taliban—a deal that was brokered by the government of Qatar. “As part of this effort, the United States government is transferring five detainees from the prison in Guantánamo Bay to Qatar,” he announced.

dahl was a hero, she suggested, “an American prisoner of war captured on the battlefield” who had served his country with “honor and distinction.”

In an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Rice explained that the five Taliban commanders would be transferred to Qatar, where “they will be carefully watched” and “their ability to move will be constrained.”

They are so busy doing a fancy foot dance to lie that they are not all on the same page when things begin to unravel.

The body language and actions of the Bergdahls indicated they were no strangers to the president, and that they had been "handled" many times leading up to their rose garden presser.

Step back and think about the mannerisms of the president, mother, and father.

Nothing will come of this. It is all just wishful thinking.

Events are starting to remind me of...
"However, this makes it all the more necessary that the National Government be accorded that position of sovereignty which is fitting, in such an age, to put a halt to developments of a different sort. The Government will only make use of this authorization insofar as this is requisite for the implementation of vital measures. The existence of neither the Reichstag nor the Reichsrat is endangered. The position and the rights of the Reich President remain inviolate."

Quote from Hitler's speech before The Enabling Act of 1933

When or how does this bunch get the boot?

That's why government is so inefficient and dangerous. It lacks the competitive forces that keep players in the free market in shape.

I have (we all have) seen companies install poor leaders and soon after be beaten to death by competitors who have good management.

Government has no such checks and balances. Well, except the periodic ballot box.

That's why government run healthcare will end up looking just like the VA.

Obamugabe used the Rose Garden presser, on May 31, as a ceremony of surrender to the mohammedans. Following all of the work that the Soros Administration has done to destroy our Republic, Obama was instructed to officially hand us over to the Global Caliphate.

Bergdahl, the cracker mock-up of Osama bin Ladin, played back-up singer, with his bismallah. As he praised his satanic deity in front of what once was our White House, he dedicated the site for islam forevermore.

And, of course, the loyal toadies in the media broadcast the ceremony all over the world, so that the islamonazis would get the word. I am sure that there was much ululation and the passing out of sweets in the ME on that night.

Sharia in 2015?

In the cases of Hagel and Rice, it is better to be silent and thought a fool than to join obama’s regime and remove all doubt.

Based on that comment, it looks to me that you are only "mad_as_heck."

“Unless the goal is to increase the combat power of the enemy, they should have remained under U.S. government control,” says one former intelligence official who worked on Guantánamo issues. “Those five in particular should have remained at Guantánamo at least until the last U.S. military person [in Afghanistan] has been withdrawn.”

Article III.

Section. 3.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

I get the strange feeling that there is another shoe to drop in this matter.

I don't doubt it; I get the feeling the Administration is working hard this weekend to make sure it remains attached to the foot.

I truly wish that someone would prove me wrong on my assessment. Don’t want to be correct on this....
