| DOD Uses Release Of Michael Durant To Justify Bergdahl-Taliban Swap |
| 2014-06-12 |
| "This raises two issues. One, the idea that Durant was traded for Somali prisoners was news to me. Back in 1993, President Clinton said "no deals" were made to secure Durant's release and Adid called the move a 'goodwill gesture.' The top lawyer of the DOD, however, just contradicted that version of events. It should be noted that Preston worked for the DOD before -- under President Clinton. If anybody would know the truth, it's Preston." Que the bus! |

| #4 Oh, there was an intended audience for the Rose Garden production. It just wasn't the general U.S. public. |

| #2 Bergdahl is a feint, little more than a maneuver designed to distract or mislead. This entire episode to include Bergdahl's useful idiot parents are another in a never ending saga of Rose Garden theater. There are other agreements in play with the release of these five, senior TB leaders. |

| #1 The problem here is Clinton did not publish his deal with Adid. Obama, ever the amateur, telegraphed to the world that we dealt on this one. We negotiate with every hostage taker, from bank robber to nation states, but we do it in private, the results are kept secret, we dont keep it a secret from congress and then broadcast it to the world after. Obama is so D%^ked up I think he does this shit on purpose just to hurt this nation. |
