Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: Five Jihadis For One Deserter
In FrontPage today I discuss how the Bergdahl prisoner exchange defied intelligence reports and endangers Americans. When he announced the exchange of five Guanatamo detainees for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who had been held by Islamic jihadists in Afghanistan since 2009, Barack Obama declared that the swap was “a reminder of America’s unwavering commitment to leave […]
Special forces found Bergdahl and captors but wouldn’t risk rescue for “deserter”
Obama must have known all this. And that makes his agreeing to this deal — one that endangers American troops in Afghanistan — all the more questionable. There ought to be a full investigation — a fearless one, free of Boehner tears and timidity. “Special forces found Bergdahl and captors but wouldn’t risk rescue for […]
Members of Bergdahl’s unit say he left note saying he wanted to renounce U.S. citizenship and find the Taliban
Obama must have known all this. If he didn’t, he is inexcusably careless. If he did, he is something far, far worse. “Wartime messages to parents, fellow soldiers reveal troubled Bergdahl,” FoxNews.com, June 3, 2014: Email exchanges between Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and his parents, statements from fellow GIs and a purported letter he left […]
On prisoner swap, Obama compares himself to Washington, Lincoln, FDR, says freed Taliban prisoners “absolutely” a threat to U.S.
“Obama said it doesn’t matter how Bergdahl ended up with the Taliban” — at this point, what difference does it make? What difference does it make that we just sent back into battle against the U.S. five senior enemy commanders, in return for a man who is likely to be a traitor and deserter? “Obama […]
Israel’s ambassador to the US publicly rebukes Obama Administration for backing PA unity government that includes Hamas
And Israeli government officials said: “We are deeply disappointed by the comments of the State Department regarding working with the Palestinian unity government. This Palestinian government is a government backed by Hamas, which is a terror organization committed to Israel’s destruction.” It is refreshing, and rare, to see these unpopular truths being spoken by anyone […]
“Major classified file” on Bergdahl; concerns he “may have been an active collaborator with the enemy”
Did nobody bother to tell Obama about these concerns that Bergdahl was a collaborator? Or was it that they did tell him, and he didn’t care, and sent the jihad terror leaders home anyway? There needs to be a full investigation of this, but the Leftist mainstream media is already starting to cover for Obama […]
2010 Pentagon investigation: “incontrovertible” that Bergdahl walked away from his unit
That means the Obama Administration traded five dangerous jihad terror leaders for a known deserter. Will there be a full investigation this time, or will John Boehner start weeping and punt, as always? “U.S. concluded in 2010 that Bergdahl walked away,” by Ken Dilanian and Deb Riechmann, Associated Press, June 2, 2014: A Pentagon investigation […]
Robert Spencer at PJ Media: 5 Falsehoods and Fantasies in Obama’s West Point Speech
Over at PJ Media I explore the latest in Obama’s fantasy-based analysis: 5. “We have to focus not just on rescuing those girls right away, but also on supporting Nigerian efforts to educate its youth.” This proceeds from the common assumption that only ignorant people engage in terrorism, and so all that anyone needs to […]
Freed U.S. soldier’s father and Taliban praise Allah for prisoner exchange
There needs to be a complete investigation into whether Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl actually was captured, or walked away from his unit to join the Taliban, as some of his fellow soldiers have asserted. But in today’s political climate, these is exceedingly unlikely — it might be “Islamophobic.” “Obama Submits To Taliban Demands, Allows Praise For […]
