White House: Hagel, not Obama, made final decision to swap Bergdahl

Classified #Bergdahl briefing just finished. WH officials say Secy. Hagel made the final call on #Bergdahl swap.

"Does Obama have a single redeeming characteristic? Even one?"

But of course! He is good at turning carbon dioxide into oxygen.

I’m impressed with how well you’ve kept up with the list. That’s no small task. It seems to get updated every hour or two. The White House has a large staff of high paid liars updating it continually. You just have the occasional tip from a FReeper.

[dowcaet]

The White House bus must have to go through several sets of tires a year considering how many people have been thrown under it.

[VerySadAmerican]

Hagel doesn’t have to take the blame. So I blame him just as much as anyone. In fact, I’m not sure Obama has ever made a decision in his life. Hagel is a boot licker.

[dragnet2]

These nasty narcissistic control freaks running government have totally disgusted most capable of critical thought.

Now after a week with this latest scandal, they’re attempting to deflect this away from Obama with more lies and deceit.

You’d have to be mentally ill to believe a word out of these people. No joke.

Reminds me of a game we played in 4-H meetings in school called "Transparent Lost His Hat". Transparent lost his hat number 3 knows where it's at. Who Sir, Me Sir? Not I sir. Then who Sir? Person picks player who isn't out.

Fire them one & all. Responsibility starts at the very top. This administration is being ran like a kindergarten class with the teacher out of the room for the day & little Barry left in charge of the class. I don't doubt for a second though that both Hagel and Kerry cheered the exchange on.

Hagel said he had no idea of the conditions surrounding Bergdahl’s capture either. Uninformed, incompetent, stupid?

The press has been lapping up the total b.s. spewed their way for six years and even they are getting sick of it.

[Major Matt Mason]

With Zero the buck stops anywhere but him.

Which reminds me of an oldie but a goodie.

[cva66snipe]

Hagel said he had no idea of the conditions surrounding Bergdahl’s capture either. Uninformed, incompetent, stupid?

If he didn't know {it was his job to know such things} because the administration nor JCOS didn't inform in how could anyone stick around such incompetence. If he did know he's simply lying like the rest for CYA purposes. For that he should also go along with POTUS.

The press has been lapping up the total b.s. spewed their way for six years and even they are getting sick of it.

It's like being stuck in a place with a habitual liar who makes up stories of who they are, what they've done, and usually what they have as well. After a while even the dullest of knife catches on usually.

// Obama didn’t want to do it, but Hagel overruled him. //

Right. Yeah, barry, this really makes it took better.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

“I didn’t do it ... I didn’t mean to do it ... Hagel did it ... and Michelle put me up to it!”

[GeronL]

They need a new hashtag

[eddie willers]

You went the full retard.

[Rainier1789]

No it was Bob Gates, that Bushie holdover who was SecDef in 2009. No, wait..., it was that teleprompter writer that made me do it! She’s fired!

[Eleutheria5]

The buck stops over there.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Tomorrow he’ll head to alcohol rehab, right?

[OldArmy52]

Says the White House who lies about any and all.

But at least we have a strong opposition Party, the Republicans.

Oh wait....

[itssme]

I look forward to seeing this POS swing from a rope when we win the country back, though I know the list is a long one of traitors to this country who I would love to see do the swing. Slimy, saccharin sweet, evil as hell, and hell bent on pounding this country into dust, and then building it to the heights that allah would approve of.

[cardinal4]

Just like Clinton claiming that Waco was Reno’s deal..

[vpintheak]

Pathetically predictable.
