I once vowed I would stay away from politics in this blog but alas the stupidity of the present administration drives me into it. The President in a vane attempt to quiten the VA noises made a colossal mistake in trading five Gitmo prisoners for one traitor.
It is not over yet. After a week of traipsing around Europe the President has been dogged by reporters regarding Army Sergeant Bergdahl. His erstwhile Chief of the Nation Security Council and former Ambassador to the UN, Ms Rice, stuck her foot in her mouth - again. They do not seem to think things through, they only see what they think is going to be a great coup in providing good news.
They had to know that Bergdahl was a potential deserter. He walked away from his post, he even wrote things that are not easily retractable. So I think the young man is luck to be retrieved, that is a good thing, but will certainly face a Courts Martial.
Too many other facts are rolling out. No, it turns out his health was not a danger. No, his captors were tired of him but probably would not have killed him. Make him a slave, well that is possible.
And his hometown has cancelled celebrations of his release. Too much bad press and many veiled threats. The town realized they had a hot potato on their hands and back away.
So our President stepped out of the VA frying pan into the Bergdahl fire. You think a President would have all the resources he wanted and would get the advice not to make such mistakes. No, it seems his personal ego over stretches such good thinking.
And this is the man with his hand on the trigger. He does seem to have any visionary capability. He is dragging his party through the mud. To the Republicans that is a good thing but to the US that is a bad thing. Our prestige has evaporated under this President. Do you think the Nobel Peace prize people might want their award back?
