I guess we could all see this coming. They can’t find anyone to dispute members of Bergdahl’s own squad, not one person, so now they just accuse the soldiers themselves of “swiftboating” Bergdahl:

Now wait for the tidbits of information to be released soon on the accusing soldiers, questioning their character.
It would be just like Obama to protect a dishonorable scumbag by going after those who served honorably.
See author page
The only weapon the Dems have, and one that seems to work on their base (a base that will swallow anything except objectivity), is name-calling.
I can’t wait until it becomes common vernacular to accuse a lying, evasive child of trying to “obama” their way out of trouble.
Kerry commanded 2 Swift boats each with a crew of 5. Out of that total 9 campaigned for his election. The 10th could not be located by anyone.
The Green Beret Lt who he saved was the one who recommended him for his Silver Star
@john: Old News, please focus on the most recent scandal by 0-blama!!
RE: “Kerry commanded 2 Swift boats each with a crew of 5. Out of that total 9 campaigned for his election. The 10th could not be located by anyone.”
Yes, but those individuals aren’t the only ones he served with, and the book details lots of information from those people, and they had plenty to say about what a buffoon he was. But more to the point, the best source of information in the book is from Sec. Kerry himself. The book simply goes back to the outrageous stories that Kerry told about himself, and showed how the stories changed every time. It’s like my uncle’s fish stories: every time he tells it, the weather gets nastier, the waves get higher, and the fish get bigger.
The thing that killed him was Christmas in Cambodia. That incident is seared … SEARED in my memory!
“Swift Boating” (n) — Process by which liberal reputations are damaged when people tell the truth about liberals.
BTW, How about Kerry taking a nap at President Obama press conference? When asked about it, he had the nerve to actually say that he didn’t fall asleep; IT WAS A REALLY LONG BLINK!
Obama’s aids are saying this.
Sounds like a trial balloon to me.
Will it fly?
No.
What will they try next?
Obama wasn’t expecting this level of blow-back over this trade of one traitor for five terror leaders.
I can’t imagine how insulated they are at the SH.
Even Dems in Congress have more awareness than they have!
Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger, the top-ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, calls this a “dangerous precedent that puts all Americans at risk throughout the world.”
Dianne Feinstein (CA-DEM) , Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman, opposed the transfer of the detainees to Qatar.
Even his hometown is having 2nd thoughts:
The hometown of U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl has canceled a rally planned for later this month celebrating his release from five years of Taliban captivity, a municipal official told Reuters on Wednesday, amid allegations that he was a deserter.
I guess calling the opposition names is all Obama’s got left in his bag.
Except we also now have the people from the villages he passed through speaking: Exclusive: Afghan villagers recall when Bergdahl stumbled into their midst
Was Bergdahl really in ill health? Snow job? Terrorists may have staged video of haggard POW to fool U.S.
@john: @Nanny G:
Seems as if his hometown is participating in the Swift boating?
Ace said a funny thing about Susan Rice:
Susan Rice, like Ron Burgundy, will literally read whatever is put on a card in front of her.
http://ace.mu.nu/archives/349546.php
Today she’s walking it back to he ”volunteered,” to serve.
She skips over the part where he also voluntarily took the uniform off and stopped serving while others’ lives were dependent on him!
@Ditto:
Obama cannot claim these Afghanis are ”swiftboating him,” can he?
And btw, the law is there for a reason.
Had Obama obeyed the law he would have opened up DEBATE before any trade.
He would not have been blindsided by all this blowback.
He would have either refuted successfully all his critics OR he would have retreated from a stupid decision before making it.
Either would have been preferable for us and Obama.
But Obama must suck at debate.
He fired/forced resignations of over a dozen Generals and Admirals rather than face harsh realities.
He surrounded himself with people who never served a day in the military.
He’s also pretty egotistical about thinking his own opinion is always right.
He would lose that egotistical feeling if he surrounded himself with other adults instead of childish syncophants who knock on wood with him.
All we need now is to find out how much cash was paid for this release, principally done to give Obama his photo op.
. . . . . Tic-toc.
The good news in all this is that “The War Is Over“. You know, that war. Yah, that war on terrorism.
. . . Oh, wait a minute, . . . Obama is a liar. Hmm, nevermind.
@James Raider: There was a payoff, they just don’t want to have to admit it. Waiting for the major hassle to slow down a little.
@Nanny G: Was outing the resident CIA operative part of the deal?
@Randy: Very likely
I have listened to sports fans defend THEIR favorite driver, player, etc., even though there is video of that person doing something they shouldn’t. obama is just defending the players he is rooting for, and it ain’t the military personnel. Anyone who finds this surprising, just hasn’t been paying attention to what obama is doing to the USA.
@Smorgasbord: Good point.
A Taliban commander, , speaking on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media, said, “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.”
http://time.com/2826442/taliban-kidnappings-beghdahl/
This commander was close to the negotiations over the release of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and was savvy enough to speak to TIME by phone!
So, what about the American pastor who is being held in Iran?
Not an important enough bird.
What about the Christian woman married to an American being held in Sudan?
Not an important enough bird, either.

Everybody tries to do what is best for THEIR OWN cause. A person can be judged by the causes they support. Look at the CAUSES obama supports, compared to the CAUSES he does not support, and any open minded person can tell that his causes are not in favor of the USA.
Let’s not forget that it was the new york times that released the information that we were tracking Osama by the cell phone he was using, and that IMMEDIATELY after the story, the phone was never used again.
Let’s not forget about the Marine being held in Mexico?
Will getting any of the above help obama’s cause? NO.
Keep in mind that obama has no say in anything. We keep giving him much more credit than he deserves. Our problem isn’t with the marionette, it’s with the puppeteers.
