Is Obama whitewashing a traitor?
NYP ^ | September 20, 2014 | Paul Sperry

Three and a half months have come and gone and the Pentagon has offered no clarity on what happened to alleged Army deserter and Taliban collaborator Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Fellow soldiers and other critics fear the military’s now-delayed investigation is shaping up to be a whitewash.

The case has become a political powder keg for President Obama.

Since he traded five imprisoned Taliban leaders for Bergdahl, the US Government Accountability Office has declared the swap illegal, and nearly two dozen House Democrats have joined Republicans in officially condemning the move for making “Americans less safe.”

...

His platoon mates... “Bergdahl is a deserter, not a hero [and] needs to answer for what he did,” said former Army Sgt. Evan Buetow, who served with Bergdahl and was present the night he vanished from his Afghan post.

Like Buetow, more than 60% of respondents to a recent Military Times survey believe that Bergdahl should be court-martialed for walking off his post in 2009 and costing the lives of six fellow soldiers who died searching for him.

But a senior Army official told me court-martialing Bergdahl would “make the president look bad.”

...

The evidence against 28-year-old Bergdahl is overwhelming.

Bergdahl, like Mongo, only pawn in game of life but much smaller than Mongo. Those five were traded for Bergdahl only if you believe that someone woud buy a half million dollar house just to get a “free refrigerator” that goes along with the deal. You can be certain that what we DON’T KNOW is the real reason for the swap, Bergdahl is just a ruse to divert the attention.

He couldn’t look much worse in truth. All that could happen is some blind fools could have their eyes opened.
