Actually, this lap of luxury approach might just work. If they get them used to exclusive indulgences the Taliban 5 might just get so used to it they’ll never be able to think about living in the rough rock tribal regions of Pakistan/Afghanistan ever again.
The White House and State Department can claim they “don’t know” the details, but the military did; and thanks to Big Mama Tea, and WikiLeaks, you can read the military intelligence reports for yourself and see exactly what was going on in the area around his unit.
The Taliban captured him a day after he walked off base. Ironically while he was taking a sh!t, and they didn’t let him wipe himself. Initially the Taliban requested a 15:1 swap and money. Afghan tribal leaders acted as liaisons in the initial days of Bergdahl’s capture.
It’s really eye opening to read the actual Military Intelligence surrounding the initial search for him. Everything his squad has said publically over the past week is confirmed in these original 8 pages of military reports.

How Our Stinger Missiles Wound Up In Afghanistan Being Used Against Our Own Troops:
On February 15th 2011 a civil war erupted inside Libya. Egyptian Islamists previously freed from jail by the Muslim Brotherhood flooded into Eastern Libya and joined with their ideological counterparts. al-Qaeda operatives hell bent on using the cover of the Arab Spring to finally rid themselves of their nemesis, Muammar Gaddafi.
President Obama chose to ignore an outbreak of violence in Libya for 19 days. Perhaps Obama was tentative from the criticism he and Hillary received over the mixed messaging in Egypt. Regardless, eventually Obama was begged to engage himself by leaders from France, The United Kingdom, and Italy.
The White House advisors (Emanuel, McDonough, Donolin, Jarrett, Axelrod, Plouffe) were more cautious this time. Initially Obama ignored the EU requests and later chose to dispatch the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, to Europe to address their concerns.
For the following 11 days American citizens, including State Dept. embassy officials, were trying to evacuate the country as vast swathes of the country erupted in bloodshed and violence, they became trapped in Tripoli. A bloody national revolution was underway.
The United Nations Security Council held urgent immediate emergency meetings to try to determine what to do. However, the United States Ambassador to those meetings, Susan Rice, was not present. She was attending a global warming summit in Africa. (more…)
This next phase is entirely predictable. The White House will dispatch “unnamed senior military officials”, and “anonymous White House sources” to start the PR campaign to rehabilitate the image of Bowe, Bob and Jani Bergdahl.
President Obama needs Bowe turned into a victim hero asap. To that end the stage crew (Denis McDonough, Tony Blinkin, Ben Rhodes, David Plouffe and Susan Rice) will coordinate a very specific messaging campaign. A ‘stubbed toe’ becomes a Purple Heart worthy wound etc.
WASHINGTON DC – Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has told people treating him at a U.S. military medical facility in Germany that he was tortured, beaten and held in a cage by his Taliban captors in Afghanistan after he tried to escape, a senior U.S. official said Sunday.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss what Bergdahl has revealed about the conditions of his captivity. The official said it was difficult to verify the accounts Bergdahl has given since his release a week ago.
Bergdahl, now 28, was captured in June 2009 after he disappeared from his infantry unit. He was held for nearly five years by Taliban militants. (more…)
‘Proctor said he was the family’s pastor in 2003 in Boise and has remained close with them ever since’.
(VIA ABC NEWS) The former pastor of the parents of a soldier released from Taliban captivity after almost five years said Friday they have been hurt by allegations that he was a traitor and by the outpouring of anger toward their family.
“They have been really hurt,” said Pastor Phil Proctor of Sterling Presbyterian Church in Sterling, Virginia. “They’re trying to keep their heads down.”
Proctor said Bob and Jani Bergdahl were surprised by interviews they have seen with former platoon mates of their son Bowe Bergdahl. Some of the soldiers told media outlets they didn’t support the exchange of five Taliban officials that led to his freedom.
“This very much hit them as a shock and I’m not sure anybody’s got the full story,” said Proctor, who is urging prayer and compassion for the family. (more…)
You’ve probably seen the recent reports of President Obama ordering the transport and dumping of thousands of Mexican Illegal Aliens into various states, particularly Arizona. According to DHS and ICE officials it’s because the border with Texas is overwhelmed with an influx of Mexican Nationals seeking U.S. status with pending Amnesty Immigration Legislation widely anticipated.
Before looking at what DHS/ICE are actually doing, I would like to divert your immediate attention to this video. This video was taken in 2011, in the exact area where the U.S. Border Patrol are currently being overwhelmed.
The Border Patrol has been overwhelmed by a surge of undocumented immigrants crossing the border illegally in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, including nearly 50,000 children traveling on their own, the AP reported.

(VIA USA Today) An air of hubris — a sort of we-know-it-all quality — has permeated the Obama White House from the beginning. It worked as a public relations strategy for the better part of five years. But it seems to be breaking down now.
The sophisticated swagger and savoir faire projected by the President and his strategists — audacity with cool, if you will — captivated a major segment of the 2008 voting public, many of whom were tired of George W. Bush and believed Barack Obama could bring real change to Washington. (more…)
Watch the Obama interview with Brian Williams recorded yesterday:
Politico has a defense article to support this interview HERE.
However, it is important to remember both Senate Intelligence Committee Head, Democrat Dianne Feinstein, and Republican Saxby Chambliss were informed in advance of the mission to Kill/Capture Osama Bin Laden. Without issue.
It is also important to remember the Washington Post ran a front page article in February outlining the exact details of this trade. It wasn’t a secret.
What the heck is President Obama talking about ?
He’s repeating McDonough/Rhodes talking points that have been thoroughly debunked. One can only conclude the time lag, and geographic distance from his handlers, has interrupted his capacity to restructure and reset his position.
WASHINGTON DC – Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is planning to headline a National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) fundraiser for Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), the committee confirmed.
The fundraiser asks attendees to contribute $1,000 to $2,500 for individuals and $2,000 to $5,000 for PACs. And it’s certain to be a welcome development for Cochran as he enters into what’s expected to be an expensive three-week campaign before a runoff election against primary challenger Chris McDaniel.

Feb 17, 2014 Guess Congress did not read this front page Washington Post story 70 days before Bergdahl release http://t.co/l1wHHD6uLO

The link takes you to a Front Page Washington Post article published in FEBRUARY. CLICK HERE
The Post article outlines, with specific detail, what the White House was about to do in trading Gitmo detainees for PFC Bowe Bergdahl. The fact that this much accurate detail was previously known, and yet the White House never consulted congress, is devastating to the White House current narrative:
FEBRUARY 2014 – In an effort to free American captive Bowe Bergdahl before the bulk of U.S. forces leave Afghanistan this year, the Obama administration has decided to try to resume talks with the Taliban and sweeten an offer to trade Taliban prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for the Army sergeant, current and former officials said.
