Obama is throwing a bone to the neocons. This is to get the Fox News, false patriotic crowd in an uproar and to change the discussion from the VA, Snowden, the Police State, and the rest. You know Obama, like the Clintons work hand in hand with the GOP establishment, right?

This was definitely to purge the news cycle. Pivot spin pivot spin.

Face in palm. I hope you're wrong but I don't think so.

BHO is big on talk but he knew it would take action to get rid of that pesky VA scandal.

 

[JohnnyLoco]

You couldn't write up a script any better. VA, entrenched in scandal, horrors exposed........What? Terrorists? He let them go! See, he is a Muslim who hates America....and for some damn unpatriotic deserter.

I am with Ted Cruz on this. I don't know all of the details surrounding his personal position on serving and or possibly going awol but regardless it is not going to serve us well.

The more I learn, the worse it seems. I'll reserve some judgment, but most stuff I've read leads me to think he's a traitor.

If someone is a deserter for any reason other than "I received an order that required me to operate beyond my moral boundaries," I would call them a traitor. Seems like a scumbag to me and "O" made his usual mistake by negotiating with terrorists. This whole thing is so messed up.

I read about these guys this morning. They weren't low ranking foot soldiers. They won't be just joining the fight they will be leading it.

Fair point, but those guys didn't get their leadership positions through an affirmative action program. They earned their stripes the Jihadist way.

If they were simply knuckle draggers it wouldn't be as bad.

That's what it seems like, and if this is all there is to the story, then yeah Obama needs to be impeached.

I just don't buy any part of the story. There's something else going on and it may just be to change the story from the VA.

Obama is pretty much a dictator. They can't impeach him, not with the GOP establishment there.

All this, and former Marine Andrew Tahmooressi still sits in a Mexican jail.

No kidding. His whole situation was and is horrible. To me, it seems common sense is being trumped by law.

Interesting which laws the fed gov is choosing to obey, ignore, or break.

No shit. Even Feinstein almost criticized obummer about not notifying congress about swapping the traitor from terrorists.

He deserves a fair trial (legally and by the public), but it's definitely not looking good for him so far.

How the hell can he do that though?

Well each branch is going to push until the others reign it in right? Remember Hitler had a parliament and court system too...yes even after he unified the the presidency and chancellor offices.

This has been investigated for almost 5 years......The Army knows the truth and this Administration knows......

Does anyone really think they are just now going to investigate if he deserted or not?

They are still dragging their feet.

Silence on Bowe Bergdahl, months after Army investigation concludes - The Washington Post

Six months after the military began an investigation into the disappearance of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and his capture by the Taliban, which held him for five years, the results remain under wraps as senior Army officials determine what to do next....................................................

 

[Ole Cowboy]

From reading this: OAF Exclusive: The Truth About Bowe Bergdahl ? #OAF
I think the Obummer crowd is going to have to rethink this guys hero status...

Looks like Sgt Bergdhal is a deserter and traitor to his country…But will get to keep his $300,000+ in back pay, not be CM’d and just receive a General Discharge which has little impact. This is just another blow to our military. There is no way our military can continue as a social and sexual experiment and traitors be honored at the WH...
