Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction…
The apple does not (apparently) fall far from the tree--note the alleged tweet from Bowe Bergdahl's dad:

Which prompted me to send Bob Bergdahl this tweet in response:
@redsteeze @bobbergdahl @instapundit @rsmccain @DanRiehl @BobBelvedere BTW how many Afghani children did these five kill? Answer: a lot.

Damning account of the real story behind Bergdahl's disappearance. Five men in his unit killed looking for him. http://t.co/kP9kTOL8fp

Was it worth it? (If you have to ask the question, you already know the answer…)
Update:
Maetenloch at AoSHQ is right, this story gets weirder and stranger the more you look at it…
Lem's Learning/Chip Ahoy: This Bergdahl release is a complete load…

Instapundit: Law breaking? Get over it.
Instapundit: This is looking like a debacle...
Even guys in his unit are denouncing this.
ReplyDeleteThe whole thing smells like the bin laden hit.
I was wondering about a "Homeland" type connection after years of brainwashing (and a Muslim father). They'd best muster that ol' boy out so no one has to share a foxhole with him.
ReplyDeleteTroubling is Sec Hagel's assertion the justification for non-notification in accordance with law was the need to save Berdahl's life...e.g., implication that his health was in imminent danger and speed was of the essence. Troubling because Hagel utters those words, but then no one details anything about Bergdahl's health or condition at Landstuhl. Normally when one makes an assertion against the interest of law, one provides evidence of some kind.
ReplyDeleteAs you note, "Normally..." This stinks.
DeleteYou know, I don't really have a problem with negotiating with terrorists. We've actually allied ourselves with worse than this lot in the past. Hell, we've behaved worse than this lot in the past.
ReplyDeleteThe problem I've got is with the effectiveness of this policy, which looks like a cluster-fuck on PCP, and with the willful law-breaking of the Administration. But neither thing is really new, is it?
Basically, this is just another example of same shit, different day from this lot.
