Another day, another version of the story. Why would the Taliban give a rip about the story leaking?

[Wyatt's Torch]

Riiiiiiiiiight. Took em a few days to come up with that one.

[fwdude]

We must do as the scary enemy says:

[McGruff]

The only thing better would be if it was Susan Rice who said it.

[C210N]

Who is the “him” as the object of this “killing”?

Need to identify before passing judgement on whether it is definitely a bad thing...

[blueyon]

I don’t believe it!

[holden]

And just because some people on these shores would know of the event a few days or weeks earlier would cause the animals to want to give up seeing their 5 top commanders released?

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

I’m speechless that they think we’d buy that bullcrap......then again that is this bunch of warped idiots train of thought.

AP is arguing in the alternative for their client. Obama didn’t do it. If he did it was because he had to to save Bergdhal’s life. If Bergdahl was not sick as it appears, then it was because the Taliban made him do it etc etc.

Cue the “Well.....bye” guy.

[austinaero]

another indication the WH has lost the war on the messaging.

They are such liars. Even IF by some strange fluke the WH were actually attempting to tell the truth *this time*,,,,they have lied so many times on so many topics, that only the worshippers believe.

(WH telling the truth? Bwaaahaaa. I crack myself up!)

[william clark]

Verified by White House spokesman...

[Salvation]

Kill Obama, a fellow Muslim? That would not happen.

LOL

Credibility already gone.

DAYM, the Obama admin knows they have a huge problem. They are throwing the kitchen sink at this.

Mr. President, what else has the Taliban instructed you to do lately?

[SMARTY]

ANOTHER lie we’re supposed to swallow whole?

[BookmanTheJanitor]

they sure took their time coming up with that whopper...

[napscoordinator]

I really hate to be a broken record, but Ø is but a symptom.

The thing is that I cannot believe that he gets away with so much. Quite frankly I think he and Michelle might be testing us. I swear the two of them are probably laughing at night saying, “can you believe I got away with that”. Michelle probably says, “Hey Barrrrrrack, try this one tomorrow and see what happens.” They both crack up.

[blackdog]

By the terrorists or by the president?
