Do we know how long they really tried to make a deal? I hear that this particular deal was on the table for two years, but who knows how long we tried to put together a deal before that. The deal may not have been all that important to our side earlier on, since it is widely assumed that Bergdahl wasn't forced to leave camp and wander off to join the enemy. It would be different if the enemy captured a soldier on patrol or on his base--I bet the sense of urgency would go way up if there was no question of the prisoner's behavior. Plus now the enemy knows we will pay the price...they'll ask quicker next time... The timing of the culmination of the deal is interesting for those of us who question the President's leadership--amazingly, it came in the midst of the VA scandal. Something to help move that off the front page that the President's team thought would turn out well? Perhaps... |

5 years only? Heck he just wanted to study things more, just like Keystone XL. The President is a fink. |

If Obama had been watching, his sphincter would be hurting for the next week. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I think a big part of the problem is if he isn't the center of attention he isn't interested. The President is a fink. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25013 | Now Bergdahl is refusing to speak to his parents, even on the phone. He's probably a mental case now, even more than when he deserted. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Yeah, the guy sounds really, really weird. Apparently, he also made lots of strange comments to his platoon mates prior to deserting. Boron Boron Boron rhymes with moron, moron, moron |
