We should have known. The bargaining skills of Obama and his team have been often and amply demonstrated.
And now we are seeing once again the shrewd negotiating abilities paying off for America.
It turns out that swapping only 5 key terrorist leaders for Bowe Bergdahl was a huge bargain for all Americans. And, like the Iranians, the Taliban apparently still doesn’t realize how badly they were snookered on this deal.
As the media is reporting, a lot of us were all wrong about Bowe. The story by CNN is typical of most of the media in reporting the true story of Sgt. Bergdahl’s heroic effort to bring to the attention of top military leaders his concerns about the misdeeds and ineffectiveness of his unit’s leadership.
In testimony on Friday, the story of this man’s long ordeal was at last revealed. It seems, according to CNN”…a senior Defense official” reports that Bergdahl didn’t feel that “order and discipline” in his unit were quite up to snuff.
We will no doubt hear much more about the unlucky Sgt. Bergdahl as his true role as a “whistleblower” unfolds. We may have to await a formal statement and appearance on all the cable and network news outlets from Susan Rice to get the full and factual story. But for now we can safely assume that we’ll once again see the Bergdahl family in the Rose Garden, embraced by our President, receiving profuse thanks from a grateful nation.
