Secret documents reveal Bergdahl declared jihad, fraternized with captors

Secret documents reveal Bergdahl declared jihad, fraternized with captors. “…’he became much more of an accepted fellow’ than is popularly understood. He even reportedly was allowed to carry a gun at times.” Yeah, we know, what difference does it make?

  • So is the "Honorable" or the "Distinction" part of what Susan "the liar" Rice spoke of?

    Because I don't think those words mean what she thinks they mean.

  • I wonder if Bergdahl is planning on changing his name to Ginger and having a sex-change operation?

    • Yea, him and Bradley Manning would make a good couple...They can get married by that "workplace Violence" guy from fort hood and have a good old fashioned, goat riding, rifle firing Muslim wedding....

    Time to let military justice

    The Obama team managed to shoot themselves in both feet with the Bergdahl PR stunt. They thought they could tug on America's heartstrings, get heaps of praise and distract us from the rest of their abysmal failures. It didn't quite work out that way, did it?

    The outrage of the many folks who knew of the dubious circumstances surrounding Bergdahl's walkabout exploded with righteous fury. The Rose Garden ceremony with Obama and Papa Bergdahl doing his "Love the Taliban” bit didn't help much and it sure seemed like Bowe was headed for a heroes welcome for serving with honor and distinction. The administration was talking like there was no need for any review of the circumstances of his "disappearance" or need for any punishment as he had obviously suffered enough. Wrong!

    The flip side of "Bring them all home" is "Hold them all accountable". If you served with honor and distinction you get the hometown parade and a lifetime of free drinks at the VFW. If you served dishonorably, forget the cheering crowd, keep cash on hand for your own refreshments, and do expect a mighty boot in the ass. It seemed the Obama team wanted to make sure their guy stayed the hero and was going to torpedo any attempt to look at the back-story. There is no doubt in my mind that a good dose of undue command influence was ready to make sure he stayed clean. That brought the aforementioned outrage and it served the purpose of derailing the hero train Obama and his folks planned to joy ride on. But as these things often do, it has spun up into a "Hangin's too good for 'im" mentality.

    Now it has become apparent that Bergdahl will have to answer for his actions and all those who had been muzzled will get to speak. This is a good time to make sure we stop looking at the considerable information out there in the media as the gospel truth. I have seen, read, heard about it and talked to people deep in the know about this and it looks very, very bad for Bergdahl. However, and this is vital, he is innocent until PROVEN guilty. That hasn’t even come close to happening yet. So let's keep the fire/heat on the administration so they don’t derail the Army investigation, and likely court martial, and make sure it happens properly. But it is time to douse the torches and put away the pitchforks.

    The vast majority of information is coming from the same media folks that I, and many of you, spend voluminous amounts of time calling sensationalistic fantasists. All of a sudden the NY Times or CBS is somehow trustworthy? And yes we have heard directly from many members of his unit, but we surely do not have the whole story. We haven't heard a single word from Bergdahl himself about what his time in the unit was like. And while it was a complete Blue Falcon move for that Obama flack to call his unit leaders psychopaths, if he was as much of a screw up as it sounds like, is it crazy to wonder if he was catching a lot of crap? If you say that doesn't happen I will throw a BS flag. It does and even COL Jessup admitted it.

    So it's time to remember we have a functional military justice system that will be under intense scrutiny as this unfolds. Many have served, and even made the ultimate sacrifice, to protect our way of life and our liberties. Let’s remember not to hang Bergdahl in the court of public opinion without a trial. He still deserves his day in court.

    • No, they did not.

      This is a planned provocation and so far it has likely done exactly what it was intended to do, cause anger and outrage among millions.
      Just as the leftists and some muzzies said was the intention behind the Mohammed cartoons, ironically enough.

      The purpose is playing the division politics a little bit further, that among the millions of the rightfully angry and outraged, some will take actions that would allow the team to justifie the heavy-handed governement response that is sure to follow.
      Above all, medias and state would love to wave the picture of a White american (or at least a right-wing one) as a symbol of homegrown terrorism.

      Don´t forget this.

      The answer of the right-wing groups and individuals is to use this to further gather support and organize but certainly not initiate the use of force, that will only make them rubbe their hands in glee.

      In the latter case, the left will have won and in the former case it will have taken a major blow. Not only that but as time pass, this blow will grow worst with additional ones, as prices rise further, new scandals follows and so on.

      Or is this just stating that the sky is blue?

  • Someone mind asking that Fawning Bootlicker from the state department who was the psychopath again? Or did he just get that confused with his equally traitorous boss?

  • OK, so this was a case of Reverse Stockholm Syndrome: a guy who wants to be captured so he can make his captors like him.

    • Some times people pay with their lives for making stupid decisions. Tis the way of the world.
