But. . . .
Didn't Obama say that they couldn't inform, consult congress because they had to move quickly because the guy was sick?
Looks like this has been in the works for a while.
Obama must have thought he was supposed to insult Congress, because that is what he did.
He must have misread the law.

No we shouldn't.
I didn't say that insulting Congress is a bad thing.
I just made the observation that he did insult them by sharing info with the Bergdahl parents when it was 'too sensitive' to share with Congress.... when he was obligated by law to share it with Congress.

It doesn't matter what the guy did, he's an American and was held, locked in a cage for 5 years by the Taliban... that makes him a prisoner of war. Getting POWs home should always be a priority, regardless of any other circumstances.
22 Vets commit suicide a day. Can't we focus on that, together?

I think we should stop going to such places with our boots on the ground and support our vets as much as we can.
That said, Obama has a bit of a problem here from my pov. He doesn't care about a young American that isn't accused of anything being killed when his American father is targeted by a drone strike... when the father hasn't been given a chance to face a jury of his peers..... But he will break the law to 'save' Bergdahl.... after letting him languish for years.

And now you are saying that the father is in with the Taliban.

The United States does everything in it's power to bring POWs home, always has.
