1) Yeah, sounds like he “wandered off” should be court marshaled for desertion.
2) Traded for 5 premium quality terrorist commanders....looks contrived.
3) Done without consultation of Congress.
4) Bearded Pushtu speaking father does so claiming his son now has problems speaking English....this guy needs to be rounded up immediately for interrogation.
Sounds exactly like what you stated...another phony prisoner exchange.
Thanks for thread A.B. Every FReeper should order a copy of Bray’s excellent book “The Republic of Texas 2022”.
Available in 2 days (June 3rd) in Kindle version from Amazon (only $7.99)
“A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you’re talking real money.”
-Senator Everett Dirksen (R-IL)
That O air kiss for Carney r-e-a-l-l-y creeps me out.
But then again I never completed sensitivity training.
Much appreciated.
Whomever did this seems to know what was going on. Rationally it would be a lot to invent. Especially this paragraph which really caught my attention:
............................
"We come to realize that the kid deserted his post, snuck out of camp and sought out Taliban… to join them. We were in a defensive position at OP Mest, where your focus is to keep people out. He knew where the blind spots were to slip out and that’s what he did. It was supposed to be a 4-day mission but turned into several months of active searching. Everyone was spun up to find this guy."
(hows your brother? Never miss an episode. Also never thought you were guilty)
The disinformation is so pervasive in this regime that “truth” is almost never a sure thing. Gotta admit however this account does look real to me.
Hey Rod!
The panel has a spirited discussion on Hitlary, Evan Bayh ripping through the HRC-defense talking points (I can hardly stand to listen to his voice)
Woody Bobward also operating his lying mouth in defense of the witch, giving her kudos for getting it all out there, Laura Ingraham fires back “but that’s just because she wants it over-with”.
Now bringing on Jeff Miller and Dr Sam Foote, on the VA holocaust and resignation of Shensicki.
.. drink all night ....
The fact is, no interaction, or set of interactions with an active alcoholic can result in anything other than COMPLETE DISASTER. That’s a “bottle” you are trying to reason with, an “it,” not a person.
Some good books on co-dependency will help your daughter a lot. Also, just some basic info on borderline personalities and how they can disrupt us is really good. The little book “I Hate You, Don’t Leave Me” is excellent. And, if I recall, there is a book called Co-Dependent No More (it’s written by the ex-wife of an alcoholic) that will absolutely help her.
Knowledge and information are most important to people who have experienced a marriage like your daughters has. It can make ALL the difference.
Great catches Rock! If our side does not fully vette this entire situation we are not even in the fight.
I guess,a hundred billion additional bucks seems like a lot to me.....just sayin’.
Susan Rice on This week touting foreign policy has changed !
What a slap in the face of the men and women who have died defending this country I’m very happy this soldier is coming home but i am a grown up even i realize you can’t have it both ways and the American Military along with the American people are going to lose on this one ....
I’m so damn mad right now i could chew steal and spit nails !
Obama continued to use the ‘movie’ excuse in his U.N. speech a couple of weeks later.
Some of their newstalk propagandists are still claiming that the ‘movie’ was the cause.
I’ll catch it for sure thanks bud.
I wonder if Woodward and Bernstein are doing a full tilt investigation of Benghazi just like Wategate? Nahhhh.....
That's about two percent of the federal budget. It may not be that easy to hide, but it can be done.
IN an overall budget it would be easy to hide. But when its 2/3 of the VA budget it has to show up somewhere.
Rep Miller just said that the VA doctors don’t see nearly as many patients as “private-sector” doctors.
Veterans denied care, while the bonuses racked up millions.
The answer is:
Congress needs to issue an insurance voucher that pays all their premiums and co-pays for private insurance, or a veteran’s large group plan.
Fire the union-thug doctors and administrators and use the VA Hospitals for something else.
But she went on their shows and deliberately lied. How can they in good conscience ever have her back again—at least without making those past lies an issue this morning!
The Lamers evoke a reference to what became of international cycling in the Lance Armstrong era. Because all entrants were doing illegal steroids, the first and foremost qualifying characteristic was the necessity to TAKE them. If you didn’t take ‘roids, you didn’t get in to the races.
By the same token, if you are not willing to do the bidding of the Demovik orthodoxy you will have no way IN to a job in the Lamestream Media Industrial Complex.
The want-ad really should read, “must have a grasp for distortion, fabrication, disinformation and smear campaigns....Knowledge of Soviet-era propaganda techniques and tactics helpful. Typing skills, too.”
So much for the “dumb blonde” stereotype. Liz and Laura- two blondes- articulate much more intelligence than Bob W or Evan B.
OK, here we go.
The panel going into a discussion on the Bergdahl/terrorist trade.
Liz Cheney up now.
Ugh, more of Bie’s-lies.
Now regarding the _resident’s speech @ Westpoint.
Laura Ingraham commenting on the total lack of response from cadets as very telling. President lying as he states how US has never been stronger compared to the rest of the world.
Woody critical of speech, saying sometimes it’s best to be quiet. Giving dog-eater credit for “protecting America and not getting in any wars”.
We have been negotiating with the Taliban for some time over Bergdahl. The question remains, did we give too much to get him back? I can't answer that now. We will have to wait some time to see how it all plays out.
I am most concerned that Obama did not follow the law and consult Congress before agreeing to the exchange. Why didn't he? I suspect he knew that there would be some blowback on who was released. I would like to know if the intelligence community and DOD were consulted and what were their recommendations. Who signed off on it within the Executive Branch? These are important questions that need answers.
Obama and Dems often use emotion to sway the public. Obama did the same thing with his backdoor amnesty for over 1.8 million "Dreamers." 500,000 have already received legalization, SSNs, and work permits--all without Congressional approval. He should be impeached for that alone.
No doubt Obama will declare anyone who even questions what he did as being hard-hearted and not patriotic. The VA scandal has certainly cast the Administration in a bad light. What better way to burnish Obama's image as someone who cares about the military than to get the lone US POW released a day after Shinseki resigned. A coincidence? I think not.
