Obama strongly sympathizes with these muslim terrorists.
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." - Barack Hussein Obama in his book "Audacity of Hope"
"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race." - Barack Hussien Obama in his book "Dreams of My Father"
"Earlier in my college career, there was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the Black community I was somehow obligated to this community and would use all of my present and future resources to benefit this community first and foremost." - Michelle Obama in her college thesis

DT - excellent article. Here's another one. The guy deserted and had 5 Americans die trying to "rescue" him. Obama will do anything to score a headline. Such betrayal. Here's a first hand account from a guy who served with him:
-- Posted by not_sorry on Mon, Jun 2, 2014, at 7:46 AM
Here is some more information for you to spin miccheck. From the released so-called "prisoners" dad himself. A tweet from Bob Bergdahl:
Bergdahl's twitter account, @bobbergdahl, has apparently now deleted a tweet from four days ago, in which he said, in echoes of Islamic supremacist rhetoric, "@ABalkhi I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners. God will repay for the death of every Afghan child, ameen!"
So Obama negotiates with terrorists, releases their "top 5" at Guantanamo, for a soldier who deserted and whose father sounds anti-American. And of course 5 American soldiers and their families have lost greatly to try and rescue this deserter.
Just another example of how inept this president is - he found his "wag the dog" moment to take the focus off his failures with the VA.
-- Posted by not_sorry on Mon, Jun 2, 2014, at 7:57 AM
miccheck - pretty callous statement from someone who has nothing invested in this war like yourself. 5 families devastated by the death of their loved ones and you call what he did "wronging to be handled".
Not a single thing I posted above is untrue re: Barack and Michelle Obama. Nothing. You can cut/paste/add/delete all you want but, as usual, your Obama bias takes direct statements from them and tries to discredit anyone who would dare repeat their words.

So you think we should pass judgement on American soldiers without a trial and leave them in the possesion of the enemy?-- Posted by miccheck on Mon, Jun 2, 2014, at 8:26 AM
Did I say kill him? Trial? What the hell are you talking about? More fabricated emotion on your part?
Did you read the part where he deserted? He walked off and placed himself in danger? He went to the other side? His father is anti-American? Did you get any of that?
Of course not. Because Barack Obama didn't get any of that and you can't comprehend anything that would disagree with something he did.

Do you think the lives of 5 dead American soldiers is worth the life of one deserter?
If Barack Obama can use a drone to kill an American citizen in Yemen without a trial - execution by executive order - do you see a problem with trying to get his release without releasing some of the top 5 terrorist we hold? That have been responsible for the deaths of thousands?
-- Posted by not_sorry on Mon, Jun 2, 2014, at 9:56 AM
Trying to be objective, what if he was an undercover US spy and had not actually deserted, thus the reason he was captured. And why assets were used, lives lost to gain his freedom.

More to this story then meets the eye. Now, Obama is going to try to make it a wonderful hero story out of it because he is once again campaigning but something is out of wrack with this solider and this whole story. Is he a deserted? did he conspire with the enemy? only time will tell as the truth will come out on this one. If this solider did any of this he should be court marital and held accountable convicted and sent to Ft. Leavenworth to serve time.

Even the big Obama worshipper MSNBCs Chris "tingling-up-my-leg" Matthews is upset about this.
This is a disaster and an insult to America and the victims of terrorism. It's interesting watching the Obama administration spin this into something it isn't.
-they have sealed the records into the detail of his disappearance to keep anyone from getting any official information of what happened
-the Obama administration threatened prosecution of the troops that served with him for saying a word about the details of his disappearance
-the administration is claiming these 5 released terrorists will not be a threat for little over a year - as if that's good enough. 18 months before being freed?
Just another example of many of how incompetent Barack Obama is. And yet his defenders are here claiming "nothing to see here".

Apparently Obama is good at doing that to American citizens in a foreign country. Probably not going to happen to these guys.
I figure this is another fulfillment of Obama's "Dreams of My Marxist Father". The worship of a man he barely knew, saw only a couple of times in his life but wrote a book about how much he admired him. While insulting his grandmother that raised him much of his life.
He has serious personal issues. And unfortunately the American people have to sit and watch him sort them out at our cost.

5 Americans die trying to rescue a deserter. A deserter. A president - to score points and change the subject from the VA - ILLEGALLY releases 5 of the top known terrorists in exchange for this deserter, a man who denounces his country who has a father that public hates America as well.

-- Posted by commonsensematters on Tue, Jun 3, 2014, at 6:27 AM
There are more than just a few fallacies and misjudgments being exchanged within the comments from the start of this post. For example...
Claiming that six soldiers were killed because they were searching for Bergdahl is incorrect. It is factual to state that they were killed while they were searching for a Taliban commander or cell that was reported to be holding Bergdahl.
Note that nothing is said about how many Taliban that were killed during the "search" that might have survived to threaten other soldiers. This is another example of "correlation without causation."
Another gross exaggeration is how the Taliban prisoners were the "dream team" of "terrorists." What they might have done over ten years ago is very sketchy. The fact that they are well known to our intelligence makes them significantly easier to track when they ever return to Afghanistan.
The biggest omission from the above discussion is how substantial and valuable the very existence of the prison at Guantanamo Bay has been to the recruiting efforts of Al Qaida, the Taliban, and every other insurgent or terrorist group around the world. For over ten years, "recruiters" have been able to point to "Gitmo" and convince potential fighters that their main enemy is America, and "Allah needs you" to strap on a suicide vest.

-- Posted by not_sorry on Tue, Jun 3, 2014, at 9:06 AM
I should have read further. Didn't take Common long to cut and paste those Obama-never-lies talking points. I'll summarize the kool-aid drinking points:
"Claiming that six soldiers were killed because they were searching for Bergdahl is incorrect." - because Obama said so? You ignore the men who served and were on patrol and were TOLD what they were looking for - but believe Obama. Typical Common response and a slap in the face of the brave soldiers for a weak president. Your values are very clearly stated.
"Note that nothing is said about how many Taliban that were killed during the "search" that might have survived to threaten other soldiers." - nothing was said, but that doesn't stop you from making up a point about nothing to help Obama. It's a sickness.
"For over ten years, "recruiters" have been able to point to "Gitmo" and convince potential fighters that their main enemy is America, and "Allah needs you" to strap on a suicide vest" - because Gitmo existed before 9/11 right Common? Bush opened Gitmo his first week in office and 9/11 occurred because it convinced 19 men to "strap on" a jet and kill innoncent Americans.
The Obama boot-licking continues...
-- Posted by not_sorry on Tue, Jun 3, 2014, at 9:14 AM
It's all good.
Releasing prisoners reduces enemy recruiting.
Looking for deserters allows more opportunity for ambush resulting in more enemy casualties.

"WASHINGTON -- Sometime after midnight on June 30, 2009, Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl left behind a note in his tent saying he had become disillusioned with the Army, did not support the American mission in Afghanistan and was leaving to start a new life. He slipped off the remote military outpost in Paktika Province on the border with Pakistan and took with him a soft backpack, water, knives, a notebook and writing materials, but left behind his body armor and weapons -- startling, given the hostile environment around his outpost."

Just think of your backward logic. The only way to convict him would be to return him. So we have to search for a clear deserter (evidence was clear, Pentagon has previously declared such) to what cost? 50 dead? 100 dead? To try a man whose crime is disgust with his country and desertion?
And you're back to putting words in someones mouth to suit your point. I never convicted him. I'm using the EVIDENCE available. Do you not know how justice works? EVIDENCE is what you go with to determine whether or not to prosecute.
EVIDENCE is what you would use to determine if you should have American soldiers killed while the deserter is AWOL. EVIDENCE is what you should use to make a judgment on whether or not to release 5 top terrorists to return a man who doesn't like his country.
Today Obama said that the 5 will likely return to terrorist work. And you support this?
-- Posted by not_sorry on Tue, Jun 3, 2014, at 10:02 AM
We can take out American Citizens in a foreign country without being convicted of anything, by using a drone, simply because Obama says so.
But we dare not speak of this guy we traded 5 murderers for in less than a courteous and respectful manner, why?? Because Obama has decided to honor him by breaking our laws then flying in his parents for a photo op?

Every time you claim he isn't you are ignoring the evidence of a) the written letter he left b) his comrades who said he deserted c) his own personal comments in videos and d) the pentagon's report.

I did put effort into Rice. Susan Rice - once again - lied about this incident.
And once again your one-liners add nothing - just a diversion to focus on a man who hasn't been president in over 5 years. Why don't you analyze the Obama, Biden, Rice and Hagel lies?
Because you voted for him twice. And you told all your friends. And you're embarrassed at how stupid you look now. Twice.

Back on subject.... I just saw a replay of Jay Carney being asked about a possible 5 detainees to be traded for 1 American. Don't know the date, but it was prior to this happening and Jay Carney said it would never happen without consulting Congress. While I know Carney does not run the show, he is the President's mouthpiece and I am reasonably sure is given guidelines on what he can or cannot say to the press.
The lies just never stop with this administration. I think Obama should be brought up under impeachment charges for this blatant disregard for law. Probably turn into another Bill Clinton fiasco and the Senate would not uphold it, but at least the impeachment would go on his record, same as Clinton's did.

Bergdahls team leader:
"Bergdahl is a deserter, and he's not a hero. He needs to answer for what he did."
Within days of his disappearance, says Buetow, teams monitoring radio chatter and cell phone communications intercepted an alarming message: The American is in Yahya Khel (a village two miles away). He's looking for someone who speaks English so he can talk to the Taliban.
======
For 5 years Bergdahl was never referred to as a POW by the administration. Obama knew this. Rice knew this. But what do they save even when they know better? They lie blatantly. They think you are stupid.
Susan Rice: "He served the United States with honor and distinction."
Chuck Hagel: "Sgt. Bergdahl is a sergeant in the United States Army. He was a prisoner of war,"
And Common buys these lies and worse yet pushes them onto us. Sad.

If he was not a POW what was he? Do you really think he could have gotten away at any time that he wanted to?
It's hard to believe that so many lap up so much Hannity style garbage so consistently.
Of course Bergdahl should be subject to an Article 32 investigation by the US Army immediately, and depending on the outcome be brought before a general court-martial as per the UCMJ.

You have no credibility here common. You are buying Obama's talking points hook line sinker. I'm relying on the men that served with him, that saw this happen, that heard him seeking out the Taliban.

Even though he has never been called a POW until Obama screwed this up royally. Picking up a deserter and traitor that led to the death of 6-14 soldiers and the release of 5 top terrorists.
POW's don't desert, seek contact with the enemy, denounce their country and renounce their citizenship. Of course you buy the Obama definition hook, line, sinker. You're a boot-licker.

From TIME magazine today. They interviewed a top Taliban leader regarding Bergdahl. His comment once again shows the miscalculation and ineptness of Barack Obama:
"Asked whether the Taliban would be inspired by the exchange to kidnap others, he laughed. "Definitely," he says. "It's better to kidnap one person like Bergdahl than kidnapping hundreds of useless people. It has encouraged our people. Now everybody will work hard to capture such an important bird."
-- Posted by not_sorry on Thu, Jun 5, 2014, at 11:53 AM
Is there some reason that the goofy parts of the editorial were omitted?
For instance, these attempts to influence opinions of republicans...
"Those selected to physically hand Bergdahl over to U.S. officials at a pre-arranged location on the other side of the border in Afghanistan rehearsed the messages they wanted to convey to the American people.
"You know we are also human beings and have hearts in our bodies," a senior Taliban commander affiliated with the Haqqani network, which was holding Bergdahl captive, tells TIME. "We are fighting a war against each other, in which [the Americans] kill us and we kill them. But we did whatever we could to make [Bergdahl] happy."
"...was a parting gift designed to demonstrate no personal ill will, says the commander: "We wanted him to return home with good memories."
"So dispirited was Bergdahl with the process, says the commander, that he didn't even believe his captors when they announced his pending release."
"There was some disgruntlement among Taliban ranks over the terms, admits the Kandahar commander. Some members wanted a ransom payment for Bergdahl, in addition to the release of the Guantanamo detainees."

Why did you omit parts? You didn't post the entire thing either did you? Focus on the content and not the personal stuff - it always comes back to bite you.
Having said that I noticed the rest of the article did contradict - quite a bit - what your president said. In the rest of the article it stated he was their "guest", he was treated well and was given "a parting gift designed to demonstrate no personal ill will" and hope he has "good memories".
Yet you and your president say he was about to die. Laughable. Absoluteley laughable.

They treated him good. He's not dying - you're just lying. The fact that they threatened him with death the NEXT TIME he comes has nothing to do with how he was treated. He did, after all, seek them out and apparently aided them in killing Americans.

In the spirit of this thread - "Bergdahl. Why didn't they just leave him there?" we are now told that the Bergdahl's were included in many secure meetings regarding their son's situation. It speaks volumes that this administration would keep them in the loop when the dad apologizes to the Taliban and al Qaeda and the son denounces his country and his citizenship - and then outright lie to the families whose loved ones were killed searching for this deserter. One story today:
"The White House allowed the parents of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl to take part in a series of secure video conferences with State Department and intelligence officials and senior military commanders, according to a published report.
The Washington Times reports that Bob and Jani Bergdahl were allowed to join the conferences remotely from the Idaho National Guard headquarters in Boise soon after their son was captured by the Taliban in June 2009.
A spokesman for the Idaho National Guard told the paper that the Bergdahls participated in up to 20 video conferences per year."

I'm like you i would support any decision they would make concerning military service. I'm a vet and not opposed to the draft.

President "...Obama is always good and right, anyone else is bad."
As usual, you're wrong again. I've never claimed or even implied that the President is "always right."
On the other hand, it is obvious that you falsely claim that the President is "always wrong."
I have often admitted he has faults, but dispute those on the "hate Obama" bandwagon, who ignore every thing contrary to their jaded and juvinile outlook.

Nope. I've openly agreed with Obama on many occasions including when he said these:
"Shovel-ready was not as ... uh .. shovel-ready as we expected."
"I make a mistake, you know, every hour, every day"
"I completely get how upsetting this can be for a lot of Americans, particularly after assurances they heard from me that if they had a plan they like, they can keep it."
"You know I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I said I'd end the war in Iraq. I ended it."

Well, well, well... as with most Obama stories, the truth eventually comes out:
"Bergdahl to be charged with desertion, ex-military intel officer says"
"The Army has decided that they want to pursue Bergdahl for this violation. There's a "huge battle" going on inside the Obama administration, as some try to "suppress" this development. This is shaping up to be a titanic struggle behind the scenes."
The Army "wants to do the right thing" but the White House "wants this to go away."
"The White House, because of the political narrative, President Obama cozying up to the parents and because of he, President Obama, releasing the five Taliban ... The narrative is what the White House does not want to have come out."

Dug: You mean that Pres. Pinky is trying to cover up this trivial incident.
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Tue, Jan 27, 2015, at 9:19 AM
The family of the young American woman who was killed by ISIS a couple of weeks ago believes that the Bergdahl swamp doomed their daughter. Once the Obama administration traded 5 top Gitmo prisoners for Bergdahl the price of her ransom was jacked up. After that ISIS realized that the Obama administration would negotiate with terrorists. From an interview with her parents on NBC news:
"The Obama administration's swap of five Taliban leaders held at Guantanamo Bay for accused Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl may have doomed any hope Kayla Mueller's family had for working out a deal with ISIS, the murdered aid worker's family said in an interview.
Carl Mueller told NBC in an interview that aired Monday that he and his wife thought they could win his daughter's freedom with a $6.2 million ransom payment. But when the White House agreed last year to trade Bergdahl, who had been held for five years by the Taliban and Haqqani network, the family believes the price for their daughter went up.
"That made the whole situation worse," Kayla Mueller's brother, Eric, told the network. "Because that's when the demands got greater. They got larger. They realized that they had something. They realized that, 'Well, if they're gonna let five people go for one person, why won't they do this? Or why won't they do that?'"

An Army officer in Bergdahl's company recounts how many men were killed searching for this deserter...
===
Nathan Bradley Bethea joins CNN to elaborate on Bowe Bergdahl's desertion.
"The truth is: Bergdahl was a deserter, and soldiers from his own unit died trying to track him down. For five years, soldiers have been forced to stay silent about the disappearance and search for Bergdahl. Now we can talk about what really happened. "
"Make no mistake: Bergdahl did not "lag behind on a patrol," as was cited in news reports at the time. There was no patrol that night. Bergdahl was relieved from guard duty, and instead of going to sleep, he fled the outpost on foot. He deserted." I
His disappearance translated into daily search missions across the entire Afghanistan theater of operations, particularly ours. The combat platoons in our battalion spent the next month on daily helicopter-insertion search missions (called "air assaults") trying to scour villages for signs of him. Each operations would send multiple platoons and every enabler available in pursuit: radio intercept teams, military working dogs, professional anthropologists used as intelligence gathering teams, Afghan sources in disguise. They would be out for at least 24 hours. I know of some who were on mission for 10 days at a stretch. In July, the temperature was well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit each day.
On July 4, 2009, two Americans died and many more received wounds. My friend blames Bergdahl for his soldiers' deaths. His soldiers' names were Private First Class Aaron Fairbairn and Private First Class Justin Casillas.
Our battalion suffered six fatalities in a three-week period. On August 18, an IED killed Private First Class Morris Walker and Staff Sergeant Clayton Bowen during a reconnaissance mission. On August 26, while conducting a search for a Taliban shadow sub-governor supposedly affiliated with Bergdahl's captors, Staff Sergeant Kurt Curtiss was shot in the face and killed. On September 4, during a patrol to a village near the area in which Bergdahl vanished, an insurgent ambush killed Second Lieutenant Darryn Andrews and gravely wounded Private First Class Matthew Martinek, who died of his wounds a week later. On September 5, while conducting a foot movement toward a village also thought affiliated with Bergdahl's captors, Staff Sergeant Michael Murphrey stepped on an improvised land mine. He died the next day.
It is important to name all these names. For the veterans of the units that lost these men, Bergdahl's capture and the subsequent hunt for him will forever tie to their memories, and to a time in their lives that will define them as people. He has finally returned. Those men will never have the opportunity.
