This thing stinks- Anybody see the pic or heard the statements of Bergdahls father? He looks like a muji. And Bergdahls comments? It seems likely the entire thing was set up BY ALL PARTIES INVOLVED as an excuse to release the bad guys.
I like to think of myself as the last person to wear the tinfoil on this sort of thing, but I agree it's
awfully weird. There's some talk he "lost the ability to speak English" so they have to say stuff in Pashtun to him or whatever.
And the big weird beard and Islamic utterances of the father did give me some serious WTF-ery too. I guess playing Devil's Advocate, maybe the mother and father are just fruits and nuts, and the son, despite making a go of it in the .mil, didn't fall too far from the tree, which colored his decision to defect, desert, or engage in some half-assed attempt at solo hearts-n-minds work outside the wire.
Or maybe the Obama Admin, State Dept. or whoever's been working on the "deal", getting dad to grow out his beard, and say some Islamic stuff in the Rose Garden next to Obama was part of the "deal", some sort of Taliban ego-stroke.
Who knows?
And with the MSM covering for Obama so hard,
does it matter? He'd have to stomp on puppies, or kill a baby on unedited unfiltered YouTube video from multiple random citizens recording on cell phones, or something equally drastic for it to actually be able to touch him by now.
