There is no way Obama did not have the info that was put out in 2010 and knew full well that Bergdah was a deserter . This whole thing has nothing to do with Bergdah except as a patsy to free 5 high level Taliban.
There are two traders here, the POTUS and Bergdahl.
Any member of the armed forces who, without authority—
(1) fails to go to his appointed place of duty at the time prescribed;
(2) goes from that place; or
(3) absents himself or remains absent from his unit, organization, or place of duty at which he is required to be at the time prescribed;
shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
(a) Any member of the armed forces who—
(1) without authority goes or remains absent from his unit, organization, or place of duty with intent to remain away therefrom permanently;
(2) quits his unit, organization, or place of duty with intent to avoid hazardous duty or to shirk important service; or
(3) without being regularly separated from one of the armed forces enlists or accepts an appointment in the same or another one of the armed forces without fully disclosing the fact that he has not been regularly separated, or enters any foreign armed service except when authorized by the United States;
is guilty of desertion.

right.....(rolls eyes), because you have such an unbiased command of the facts....again I ask, why would a deserter be held in captivity for 5 years?....other true deserters are out fighting along side the enemy, not being held as a prisoner...can you grasp this idea?
so, if all that you say is the absolute truth, than he shall be judged by our military court, not some Taliban wielding an AK, or....is that too liberal for you?

What was being truly traded is the American people's trust, and security - for nothing more than a turn-coat, coward.
This is a despicable thing that has happened - and should be noted for annuals of history.
you get stars for this?......you don't know crap what he was, and I don't either. but, I do know from listening to other soldiers, being out in the field of battle day after day, can have detrimental affects to the soul and mind, that civilians know nothing about.. the American soldiers should trust that this president is taking a lot of crap for getting this soldier back to America, regardless of the reason. it's disgusting that there are so many on the right that are calling this soldier a traitor, and that they should have left him there...they even went after this soldiers family....what putrid, viscous, vomit of a human do you have to be to do that.

I am pretty sure if you try to pick this fight on this board you will lose.
While the US may have picked a fight, nobody deserved to die like they did in 911.
By the way, you speak of Muslims as if they are all the same, have the same rules, etc....there may be one "bible" they read from, but plenty interpret it the way they want to fit their needs.

why would it be bad for Obama?....it's his sworn duty to bring back prisoners.

Maybe this thread has already been started, but I would bet that Allah's soldiers we traded were injected with microchips, or they even ate some sort of tracking device in their food. Come on, hasn't anyone taken a crash course on military deception? This reeks of it. I sure hope Allah's soldiers are smart enough to realize that the Americans would pull something like that.

Perceiving Muslims as war-mongering is complete ignorance. The Muslims correctly own Israel; however, the Jews would not honor this. (Israel was to go to the first-born son of Abraham or whichever patriarch it was, which was Ischmel, a Muslim child.)

Don't even bother with that guy. He says he is GOD. Literally....LOL
He often goes off about hating Americans and such.
He's just a hateful ignorant little man full of contempt and scared words being uttered from a scared frustrated person.
I bet you he lives in the US too....LOL
Just ignore the crazy.

(Israel was to go to the first-born son of Abraham or whichever patriarch it was, which was Ischmel, a Muslim child.) Therefore, if the Muslims did strike first, it was to protect what is rightfully theirs. But I do not think the Muslims struck first, but either way, it is a moot point. You need to look at the origins of violence. There is the saying that goes, "We've been fighting for so long, but we have long since forgotten what we've been fighting for." We will never forget. We will never forget. Injustice will be answered with justice.
