Christmas gift from the Taliban: video released of captured US soldier
2009-12-25
Hattip DrudgeReport. Ay Pee, so here's the summary:

Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl appears healthy, read prepared statement castigating US after stating an interesting mix of identifying information: name, rank, unit, birth place and name, blood type and mother's maiden name. The AP article notes that as non-state actors the Taliban are not party to the Geneva Conventions.
Bergdahl is shown seated, facing the camera, wearing sunglasses and what appears to be a U.S. military helmet and uniform. On one side of the image, it says: "An American soldier imprisoned by the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. A statement read by a Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, appears at the end of the video and renews demands for a "limited number of prisoners" to be exchanged for Bergdahl.

#1  OK, so the AP wants to play it from both sides, they want the taliban to be protected under the constitution when captured, but our press gives them a pass so they can torture our boys. I say FUCK them, the Taliban and the Press. Fire up the B52's and send the God Damned Taliban another new years present, invite the press while your at it. I really dont care anymore how many poor Afghans we kill in the process, matter of fact the more the better. And YES I do mean that. If we kill enough they just might not give sanctuary to the Taliban. Our country is weak and our leaders are cowards to their core. Our enemy understand the cowardess of our leaders and our Press embrace it. We need to understand total war, embrace it and undertand that it is how we will win this. Otherwise bring our brave boys home, put burkas on in DC and let this country divide, we will settle it another way. I'm tired of the brave bold young men being allowed to suffer for our failures in DC. In the deserts of hell thousands of brave men and women are away from home, suffering from the failures of DC. Mr President, get off your ass, leave Hawaii, end your year long vacation in the White House and do what the people of AMERICA voted you to do, lead this country, for this country, with regard for only this country. We did not vote you in to bow, kiss ass, and suck up to others. We hired you to lead, so reach down between your legs and pull your head out of your ass and lead.

For those in Afghan, Iraq, Yemen, Kazigstan, Kuwait, Bosnia-remember that one?, europe, Korea, Japan, Soddi, Cutter, My close family friends in Syria, By best friend in the Phils, the boys in Thai, The group guys in South America, Africa, and all the OCE's around the world, and any shit hole in the world I may have missed. Merry Christmas, we do love you all!
