His old man is doing a very convincing act pretending to be Muslim too.

I figure him as Amish or from the duck-hunter TV show. Give the dad a can of beer and a rifle and there ya go! ZZ Top was never called Muslim.

[Catsmine]

Has anyone thought that President Drone may have some means of keeping track of these "commanders?" The GPS trackers for the guns from Fast and Furious are still available, I hear.

[smoothy]

Doubt it... that would take brains and an actual thought process. Both are something this administration lacks.

did you hear his comments at the White House Rose Garden ? He spoke flawless Pashto.

did you hear his comments at the White House Rose Garden ? He spoke flawless Pashto.

Sporting a long, bushy beard that [Bob Bergdahl] refused to trim since his son went missing in 2009, Bob Bergdahl spoke Pashto, Afghanistan's main language, and also a few words of Arabic at the White House press conference announcing his son's release...

In a Rolling Stone magazine article last year, Mr Bergdahl said he kept in contact with a Taliban source who claimed to know where his son was.

He also said he had learned a great deal about Afghan politics. He learned to speak a few words of Pashto and Arabic so he could record a 2011 video message to his son's captors.

[paraclete]

and my son speaks Urdu what conclusions should I draw from that? This choice may be sensible since his son appears to have forgotten how to speak english, a form of taliban brainwashing no doubt

[smoothy]

Except that speech specialists... say it takes significantly longer than five years for a person to lose their native language.

and here's a blast from the past circa August 2010 .....

A captured American soldier is training Taliban fighters bomb-making and ambush skills, according to one of his captors and Afghan intelligence officials.
Private Bowe Bergdahl disappeared in June 2009 while based in eastern Afghanistan and is thought to be the only U.S. serviceman in captivity.
The 24-year-old has converted to Islam and now has the Muslim name Abdullah, one of his captors told The Sunday Times.

How did he get the rank of Sargeant? He was a private, how many times did
Obama promote him?

[Catsmine]

Bergdahl needed to be brought back for his court-martial. Everything they're saying about him was said about John McCain in VietNam. Supposedly Bergdahl's father sucked up to the Terrorists to keep his kid alive. I'd do the same for mine.

The horrible part is that the Marine in Mexico will have to wait on the next White House scandal to be released as a distraction. The good news is it should only be a few more weeks.

[tomder55]

good question ;he received field promotions while a captive.. strange indeed since the emperor and the military I'm sure was aware of the questionable circumstances regarding his capture.

[paraclete]

perhaps he was a CIA sleeper sent to inflitrate with an unlikely story

[smoothy]

The CIA doesn't hire dim bulbs like him.

[paraclete]

Amid the dim bulbs of the CIA how could you tell the difference, these are the guys who didn't see 9/11 coming, who couldn't find Bin Laden, who got themselves killed in Benghazi

[smoothy]

Clete... the reason the CIA didn't see it coming is because the FBI and the NSA were legally PREVENTED from talking to each other or exchanging data due to a law enacted under Bill Clinton. That prevented the entire picture from forming so to speak.

That's not something I say... that's what the 9/11 commission concluded.

The only idiots in the CIA or NSA are presidential appointments.....all the rest have some very high hurdles to meet to get hired. (I'm not talking contractors....but direct employees).

[talaniman]

Still waiting for the official record of the soldiers performance before he allegedly deserted and if he was such a lousy screw up why he wasn't sent home.

[tomder55]

one thing for sure .... the emperor will have him locked away for "medical reasons " for the balance of his reign.

It Could Be Years Until Sgt. Bergdahl Makes It Home - TIME

The question about his health, it’s a controversy. Why, then, also given his background and everything that we are finding from people who served with him and people who have covered this story and letters that he’s written home — why would Susan Rice be sent out, Susan Rice, be sent out repeatedly to say he served honorably and really push that as one the fundamental reasons behind this swap?

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski: Why Would Susan Rice Repeatedly Say Bergdahl Served Honorably? | Video | RealClearPolitics
The false narratives about his poor health, and his heroic record were all manufactured to serve cover for the real reason for the Berghdal swap . The emperor did not care about getting him released as much he wanted to get the Taliban 5 released as an opening salvo in his effort to close Gitmo.
What the Bergdahl Story is Really About: Gitmo - NBC News

I'm convinced that the emperor also paid a ransom on top of the release too. He used Qatar as the middleman in the exchange .... the same Qatar that gave Stingers to the Taliban that were supposed to go to the anti QDaffy rebels in Libya.

Moves to free detainees from the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay are gathering pace as the administration works to close the notorious jail, a top US official said Thursday.“There are a significant number of transfers in the pipeline at various stages and I think you’re going to be seeing substantial progress this year,” the senior administration official said, amid a furor over the release of five Taliban prisoners for a captured US soldier in Afghanistan.

How many bribes will it take to clear out the prisoners?

There are what, 155 left? At 5 per distraction, I don't think the country can survive getting them all out.

Tal... you didn't give Bush or Cheney that same benefit of the doubt.
