Barbella

Senator
Can ANYONE think of WHY Obama did this? ANYONE??? Because I sure as shit can't....

Any kool-aiders here wanting to defend this crap???

A top Republican senator called Monday for an “immediate hearing” to investigate the controversial release of five Taliban prisoners in exchange for American Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s freedom, as he and others raised alarm that the administration just freed the “Taliban Dream Team.”

New questions are surfacing about the terms of the deal, as details emerge about the Guantanamo Bay prisoners sent to Qatar in exchange for Bergdahl – who was a Taliban captive in Afghanistan for the past five years.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., sent a letter to the leaders of the Senate Armed Services Committee calling for a hearing. He said the prisoners “have American blood on their hands and surely as night follows day they will return to the fight.”

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Sunday called the five former detainees “the hardest of the hard-core” and “the highest high-risk people,” who are “possibly responsible for the deaths of thousands.” In the interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” he noted others that have been released have “gone back into the fight.”

Based on the rapidly emerging Bergdahl background and the fact that he probably deserted, i can't defend it.

Dandy opportunity for yet another (and perhaps actually LEGITIMATE) Republican investigation!

But tell your clowns to do themselves a favor. Focus on VA and Taliban investigations and give up the ghost on the rest of 'em (all bogus ;-)
 
It's a virtual certainty that the "whole story" behind this, includes information that should remain classified. Therefore, a Republican may've gone before a mike to say that he demanded a "closed door" meeting with the president.

Fox/GOPs are different. Fox/GOPs DEMAND public hearings right up front. I hate to use the word "fair" in any context but......what the Fox/GOPs routinely demand, IS unfair. They know damned well that the Obamans can't and won't lay out their entire case and justification (they're patriots), but the Fox/GOP has no trouble shouting about how bad-bad-bad they are.

You seem to accept it as fact, that the dude deserted. So, you demand that this one should be investigated. You're sounding like a Fox/GOP. There's NO rational reason that I can think of, as to why the Obamans would've swung this deal if they didn't think it was in America's interest. So don't you think maybe you should start this with your theory as to a rational reason?

That part was really funny, because I don't know of anything he's done that was actually in America's interest.....everything that I know of was for his OWN interest. Remember, he has a phone & a pen, he doesn't need anyone else....and he couldn't give a shit less about Americans. He proved that just now by letting 5 of the most dangerous terrorists go free!

There is WAY much more to this stinking pile of crap than we're being told!

If the MSM wasn't such a bunch of 0bama butt-sniffers, maybe we would someday learn the truth. Unfortunately, unless it is something so bad that they cannot hide it (which I think it is), they will be forced to actually do their jobs and report the reality.

So, how did the 5 that were released go from being such bad guys, to being able to go now?

Why was this done for a traitorous deserter?

Why did turdbama do it by executive order and not present it to Congress (hence breaking the law in the process of doing so)? Oh, that's right...because they wouldn't have permitted it!

Hussein knows he isn't facing re-election. He's going all out to do whatever darn thing he wants to right now, because he knows when the mid-terms roll around, the shellacking the dem got in 2010 will be nothing in comparison to what is going to happen then.

And the dems only have him and themselves to thank for losing. He has made it impossible for them to gain ground in Congress and absolutely possible for the GOP to take the majority in the Senate.

Apparently in his Azaan-riddled brain, he thought that by tossing the bright shiny object of Deserterdahl's release in the air, it would take attention away from all the other crap. The VA debacle has all but disappeared from the news, in fact. However, he is wrong.

He is a worthless piece of crap and has now surpassed Carter as the worst president ever.

Blah-blah-blah.....
 
I can picture the Obaman "war room".

Okay guys....we have four choices:

1. We can let Bergdahl die without mentioning the 5-Talib deal. Not mentioning the deal would be the responsible thing. But....

-The Fox/GOP would hate on us.

2. We can let Bergdahl die and blab the 5-Talib deal. But...

-The Fox/GOP would hate on us.

3. We can send in a sufficient contingent - some of whom might die - to maybe or maybe not save Bergdahl's life. But....

-The Fox/GOP would hate on us.

4. We can swing the deal and save the guy's life. And......

-The Fox/GOP will hate on us.

5. Hell...we can wake up in the morning and the Fox/GOP will hate on us!
 
let the Senate and House hold hearings. that's fine. it's always good for them to weigh and discuss executive and congressional power.

let it also be known that the Obama administration included congress in deliberations about a swap for this soldier back in 2012. at that time, republicans threatened to not only block the swap, but use it politically against Pres Obama. this time pres Obama had no choice but to act without telling republicans. the need to get this soldier back home was paramount.

Now can you post what you would have if, instead, it had emerged that Obama had an offer to free one of our soldiers in exchange for some Taliban fighters and he turned it down? It's the ambidexterity of the conservative outrage machine that I find most impressive.

No doubt ............and going through Congress never came to Obama's mind in the last 5 years.

You summed up his hubris-filled thought process of it ALL being about HIM (Barack) and what Fox will think of him whatever he does. He is pretty fixated on Fox.

Yep.
You nailed it.

It appears that he walked away but that does not imply desertion. I am sure someone is going to talk to him about that and get to the bottom of it. Where exactly would he walk to if he was deserting? The right wing will begin their smear campaign about him. Palin has already started calling him a traitor to American values. From what I read, his writings were pretty sound, I can see where a person who watches the horrors would recoil and want to say something to his family.

When the chance occurs, take it. Congress has proven itself to be utterly worthless so why even bother with them?

I've commented in the past about my respect for Pres. Clinton for his acceptance of full blame for our failure to intervene in Rwanda. The blame isn't all his of course, but I respect the man for taking it on anyway.

Think back to the political reality of that time though. The only way he could've intervened would've been to go straight over the top of the GOP Congress's heads. Clinton says he should've had the nuggets to go ahead do so, despite the inevitable partisan/political firestorm it would've ignited.

In this case, Obama saved the life of an American soldier. In most times past, the opposition party wouldn't have viewed something like this as partisan red meat.
