Military walks back Bergdahl

Obama On PhoneBecause it “somehow” got out to the media that Army authorities are “considering” charging Bowe Bergdahl, the Spite House got wind of the coverage and lit up the telephone lines to the Pentagon and US Army Chief of Staff General Raymond Odierno.

The phone call went something like this:

SPITE HOUSE SWITCHBOARD: General, please hold for the president of the United States.

(15 minutes go by)

(clicks)

OBAMA: Ray?

ODIERNO: Yes, Mr President?

OBAMA: Do you like your budget, Ray?

ODIERNO: Yes, Mr President.

OBAMA: You like your job?  Your retirement?

ODIERNO: Yes sir, Mr President.

OBAMA: You like making me look stupid, Ray?

ODIERNO: No sir, Mr President.

OBAMA: Then you put a cork in that shit about Bergdahl and walk it back in the next fifteen minutes.  Or your budget will be cut by half and you can kiss your job and retirement goodbye.

(pause)

OBAMA: Are you understanding me, Ray?  Getting through?

ODIERNO: Yes sir.  Loud and clear sir.

(Obama slams down phone.)

Major General Ronald Lewis, the Army’s head of public affairs, said that report, and another from Fox News, were “patently false.”

Patently false.  Right.

The Army just got its ass scalded because it made Obama look like what he is: ignorant, naive and incompetent.

Bowe Bergdahl to be charged: desertion

Bowe Bergdahl Charged With DesertionAnd with that, do you suppose Mr Obama will remove his tie again and make the announcement in the Rose Garden with Bergdahl’s loving parents looking on?

Ta-ta, Bowe.  See you in Leavenworth.

Asshole.

P.S.
Exchanging Bergdahl for five Taliban leaders from Gitmo doesn’t appear quite so wonderful a trade now, does it, Mr Obama?

Susan Rice Said About BergdahlSusan Rice said Bowe Bergdahl “served the United States with honor and distinction.”

Liar.

EXCLUSIVE: Bergdahl declared jihad in captivity, secret documents show

U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl at one point during his captivity converted to Islam, fraternized openly with his captors and declared himself a “mujahid,” or warrior for Islam, according to secret documents prepared on the basis of a purported eyewitness account and obtained by Fox News. 

The reports indicate that Bergdahl’s relations with his Haqqani captors morphed over time, from periods of hostility, where he was treated very much like a hostage, to periods where, as one source told Fox News, “he became much more of an accepted fellow” than is popularly understood. He even reportedly was allowed to carry a gun at times.

Question:

Stockholm, or willful?
