Bergdahl Health NOT Impaired ... Again, We are Lied To!

[GBFan]

One of the main claims that the Obama administration made to justify giving up five Taliban commanders in exchange for Army sergeant Bowe Bergdahl has been undermined, according to U.S. officials who say he is “physically sound.”

Obama administration officials have said that Bergdahl’s health was deteriorating rapidly and that he was in imminent danger after being held captive by the Haqqani network for nearly five years.

Because of his condition, a deal to free him from captivity was fast-tracked, the administration has maintained.

But U.S. officials who have been briefed on Bergdahl’s condition since his return into U.S. hands told The New York Times that he is healthier than expected.

According to the report, the officials said that Bergahl is not malnourished. He weighs 160 pounds, a healthy weight for his 5-foot-9 frame.

“He suffers from skin and gum disorders typical of poor hygiene and exposure, but otherwise is physically sound, one official said,” the Times reported.

Bergdahl is recovering at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.

Pentagon and Joint Chiefs of Staff officials briefed a group of U.S. senators on Wednesday, showing them a “proof of life” video of Bergdahl filmed in December. It was meant to show that Bergdahl was in dire straits

"Again, we were lied to"?

You say that as if there is still some element of surprise. Surely all normal thinking Americans at this point are aware that everything and I do mean everything that this regime says is a lie with a hidden motive.

Does anyone know of this claim ?
doubt it.
dont think anyone listened after the swap broke. Its meaningless. What mattets is that the law was broken and its a bad idea to fall for distractions.

Has it occurred to you that this may have been intentional ? It made you drop the actual breaking of a law as foremost in your mind. And as they drop more meaningless red herrings out it creates a blur which makes people bored and they go back to the ballgame or what have you.

What we need is focus.

No ..... I see that as food for the sheeple. They will believe that is why Obama moved so quickly and without the approval of Congress to detain ... uhm I mean secure the release of this terrorist traitor.

I have not lost focus on the lawlessness of Obama including the illegal immigration crisis he is creating and all the other scandals.

However, without Congress willing to pursue this criminal dictator, there is little hope of him being stopped.

You know that the only thing that motivates congress is threat to their seat right ? We have a legitinate violation if law and all the house and a big chunk if senate having to run (and many run scared) if we can send the message that breaking the law is unacceptable they may have to listen. Eric Cantor has a credible threat in the prinary tomorrow and he is still thinking only of getting that speakers gavel. Pressure can be applied. Will it ?

Andnwhile you can maintain multiple thought strings in your head, John Q Public cant. Focus mattets.

I understand focus matters but, if one can not maintain multiple thought strings in their head then they may not be able to help anyway.

And, I am not so sure these leftist Republicans are running as scared as you may think. The only credible threat to them are TEA Party members that these Republicans are allowing the regime to silence!

If you have the numbers you are the party. You never never never write off the vote of someone who agrees with you.

I am not writing off the vote of those who agree with me ..... we are being effectively targeted!

Bergdahl may be physically healthy, but he isn't right in the head.

No one in their right mind would take off in the middle of Afghanistan with a knife and a bottle of water. He was a kid that couldn't decide if he wanted to be a ballet dancer, or to join the French Foreign Legion. He did join the Coast Guard, but even they tossed him out. Strange guy.

"
“He looked shriveled,” said one senior American official who saw portions of the video. “There was a pallor about his skin that looked unhealthy. He didn’t seem alert; he seemed lethargic.”

Several teams of military medical specialists analyzed the video and wrote a report concluding that, among other things, the American prisoner was undernourished and was cradling one arm in another.

One Defense Department official said that the Taliban had also expressed concerns about Sergeant Bergdahl’s health, worried that his death would eliminate any leverage they had to secure the release of the prisoners at Guantánamo Bay.""

Also of course flat earthers forget that their was also some fear they may just kill him...But then again you all miss the point that we don't leave people behind....Though I would leave you all if I could to them....

 

[Texas_tea]

Only mindless fucks "miss the point" that the US does not negotiate with terrorist.

But, this "release" was really not about negotiations at all was it?

3 weeks of recovery and he's sent to outpatient care???

And, somebody is going to seriously claim his health was impaired? Give me a break ...
