It really does have a little bit of all of Obama’s flaws and lies in it:
If you were compiling a checklist of all the things that drive conservatives crazy — and by conservatives I basically mean people who are (a) paying attention and (b) not enthralled in the Obama cult of personality — the Bergdahl story would achieve a near-perfect score.
…Invoking high-minded principle? Check! Really motivated by partisan and ideological agenda? Check! Made-up facts? Check! Critics denounced as partisan ideologues opposed to high-minded principle? Check! Group-think-driven White House’s failure to anticipate the political downsides? Check! Flagrant contempt for Congress and its laws? Check!
Indeed.
For an article ostensibly about ‘L’Affaire Bergdahl’, the writer spends precious few sentences actually talking about Bergdahl.
When I look at the Bergdahl case, I see a system that seems to work mostly as designed. The guy has been brought home to face military justice, and that seems to be what’s happening. The liberals I know say let the chips will fall where they may.
You say a system working as designed. What system are you referring? In previous conflicts, POWs were exchanged after hostilities ended, and when that happens, all POWs are exchanged. So this is not that system. So to what system do you refer?
