Thank you 
Also RA'd for sticky
ETA:
Here's a link to an article posted on the OT earlier
Revealed: Bowe Bergdahl left letter telling comrades at Afghan base he was 'leaving to start new life and didn't want to fight for America' as Army announces he DOES face desertion charges
Here's the Wikileaks cable referenced in the dailymail article that was posted:

Think I've got all the links posted and discussed so far as well as the threads without links listed. Please Lmk with a post here if a new link or thread opens. Thanks

Is there any way I can RA for this not to be stickied? Not saying a lot of work wasn't put into this but it's just going to be a thread about impeaching Obama and no one should really care about that.

It is crazy that the Taliban has been more forthcoming with information than the White House in this whole situation.
Posted on 6/4/14 at 10:50 am to LSUGrrrl
Political posturing after lying to America.
The White House is moving quickly to quell growing bipartisan concern that Congress was kept in the dark about the controversial deal with the Taliban to release Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
Senior administration officials will head to Capitol Hill on Wednesday evening for a rare private meeting with all 100 senators in a secure facility in the Capitol Visitor Center. The senators will hear from James Dobbins, a State Department specialist on Afghanistan and Pakistan, Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work and Admiral James Winnefeld, the deputy director of national intelligence.
Ahead of the meeting, the only senator to receive a heads up from the White House before Bergdahl’s Saturday release — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — took to the floor to defend President Barack Obama’s deal.

President Obama admitted during a press conference in Warsaw on Tuesday that the five Taliban members he ordered to be released from Guantanamo Bay could very well turn around and harm Americans — but apparently, that it was a chance he was willing to take.
“Is there a possibility of some of them trying to return to activities that are detrimental to us? Absolutely,” he said, the New York Daily News reported. “That’s been true of all the prisoners that were released from Guantanamo. There’s a certain recidivism rate that takes place.”

Mr. Obama’s remarks also come as one Taliban commander in Afghanistan, Mullah Salem Khan, announced that the freed five had already started prepping to do battle, the New York Daily News reported.
“As soon as they arrived in Qatar, they rejoined the Taliban,” he told The Daily Beast, “We don’t care about U.S. conditions and obstacles.”

Who wrote Susan Rice's talking points,this time?
quote:
Even as the truth was gushing out about the deserter, Bergdahl, Susan Rice was on ABC News telling George Stephanopoulos that he was captured "on the battlefield" and that he had "served with honor and distinction."

Current Soldier's Creed:
The pre-2003 creed says nothing about not leaving fallen "comrades" behind.
Are we going back to that one?
quote:
I am an American Soldier.
I am a Warrior and a member of a team.
I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values.
I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.
I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.
I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.
I am an expert and I am a professional.
I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.
I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.
I am an American Soldier.
The pre-2003 creed says nothing about not leaving fallen "comrades" behind.
Are we going back to that one?

Grrrl, you can help consolidate this thread by adding a link to your second post here. Might help clear up any confusion.
Also, anymore links you can find on the dad would be appreciated. Preferably from as mainstream or credible of sources as possible. I'm busy as hell the last few days and at least for the next week, so this thread really helps.
