this was a good deal to him. he got to release five of the enemy and get back a deserter who cost good men their lives searching for him.
he should rot in prison.
in a different time the uproar would have been deafening. we need to bring that back.
out of six nephews and nieces only one is “progressive”. I am working on him.

Begdahl may have been their traitor-in-place, but he’s OUR sergeant, and we will deal with him accordingly. /sarc

I just don’t see this story getting ant traction with the Hastert scandal. You just know that the GOPe could not have been as ignorant about the matter as they are letting on.

The entire republican field of candidates is going to get tarred with this whole thing.

Is there anything that Susan Rice will not stoop to do for Obama? She is willing to continually prostitute herself and any remaining personal integrity in front of the national media for him. Just amazing.

“It’s a reminder of just how bad a deal President Obama struck to free Bergdahl....”

.
Talking about bad deals — wait till we find out how bad a deal J{ane)F{onda}Kerry brokered with Iran.

Denny Hastert STINKS of Hillary’s 900 FBI files period.

Probably gray-bar hotel time followed by BCD ??

(My choice would have been to bring him back, courts-martial, and shoot or hang him.)

I dunno. But is surely a crazy story.

“Free to rejoin their terrorist comrades in jihad against America — as at least three of them reportedly have already tried to do.”

I don’t get this. We sent them to sensitivity training before we released them. It doesn’t make sense.

I doubt that Hastert told anybody he buggered boys but I suspect that the GOP establishment is full of sleaze bags hiding their own slimy doings.

I do not know if he told anyone in the GOPe, but I think it will come to light that SOMEONE in the GOPe was suspicious SOMETHING was going on.

Between Gingrich, Livingstone, Foley, Duke Cunningham, the legal matters of Delay, Perry, and Walker, as well as the Christie investigation, I just don’t see Republicans geting any sort of ethical “advantage” over Hillary.

The American voters, for the longest time, have viewed the Republican party as a bunch of buffoons and hypocrites. The Hastert matter is just going to reinforce this image.

The stink on this one, has been growing for a long time. Somewhere along the line, I feel the Obungler will step in and pardon this scum bag. It just doesn’t make sense that the Obungler would free some dip stick, only to have him shut up in the big house for an extended stay.

If they really think he is a traitor, they should cut him loose and let him feed false info.

Word is, we’re negotiating an extension (really, a ONE year deal???) unless sKerry’s bike fail lets it expire. How much blackmail will this cost the taxpayer?

One could say she owns this too. She knows she’s wrong but seems loath to admit it. Crazy thing is she wasn’t on the inside circle so she was truly repeating what was told her which takes us back to your point i guess.
