We've gone straight Homeland now
quote:


U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl at one point during his captivity converted to Islam, fraternized openly with his captors and declared himself a "mujahid," or warrior for Islam, according to secret documents prepared on the basis of a purported eyewitness account and obtained by Fox News.

The reports indicate that Bergdahl's relations with his Haqqani captors morphed over time, from periods of hostility, where he was treated very much like a hostage, to periods where, as one source told Fox News, "he became much more of an accepted fellow" than is popularly understood. He even reportedly was allowed to carry a gun at times.

Yep, he was allowed to train, and carry a live firearm according to intel. Seems like he was waging war against USA...

If it comes out in a courts martial that he held a weapon against our troops....

Obama may wish he was with the five taliban.

Just a note about the people producing this alleged information.

In hindsight, I bet Obama wishes he would have just droned them all at the swap...

So it's treason then.

Susan Rice will probably be forced to resign for her comments about Bergdahl serving with honor and distinction if this report is true. There is no hiding from this. This whole trade between the Taliban and us was a disaster of epic proportions.

That poor private. He fell victim to the Taliban's Jedi mind tricks. He deserves a parade.

Maybe he was playing out the Koverchenko character from The Beast in real life.

Mixed feelings about this. He was captured (?), tightly guarded, built relationships & wasn't guarded as we'll escaped & was captured (again?) and then tightly guarded again.

Stockholm syndrome is possible.

When this all happened and in what order is a huge deal.

TBH, I read the article quickly. Last 2 days of school and they have me jumping with parties & pools & yearbooks.

I understood that was the correct order. I could be wrong. Even if correct, there is a ton of time & info not included, though, so it can't be put into context.

I read that as PANTIES.





No matter what...this entire fiasco stinks and never should have happened as it did.

For a while, but I think they did try to come across as credible a few years ago.

I thought everyone had written them off though. I know I haven't watched or read fox news in a couple of years.
