This thing just goes to show that the right has no values or morals of their own, they will only do that which they see as politically expedient. Self-contradictory expression is de rigeur.
They're interested only in trying to cut their opponents down. If they did it we're against it!! It's a deplorable, gutless tactic, the last desperate throes of a dying party.

Who the hell in their right mind leaves a defensive outpost in the middle of a war to walk through enemy territory so they can continue to walk 800 miles through a desert to Pakistan? This pathetic guy has some serious problems that maybe people should think about/ find out about before they condemn him. I mean really, he wasn't on his way to Vegas.
Why is this country so divided? I had friends that hated Bush so much they had little electronic calendars that told the number of days he had left in office. They couldn’t stand to listen or look at him. They joked about him, declared he was the worst president in recent memory. I just didn’t understand it, thought it was unfair in the extreme.
And now we have the same thing for Obama. This visceral hate for someone that just doesn’t really deserve it. I’m sure that if, in his spare time, Obama developed a cure for cancer in his basement there’d be republican critics calling for his impeachment for putting doctors out of work.
It’s just crazy nonsense all these extreme feelings over political differences most of which are just tendentious political screeds about non existent realities.

Laughing at all the Sheep from atop the Hill
Doesn't your avatar just say it all. Such arrogance. You don't think all the young men and women that enlist could also be considered some of your "I'm-laughing-at-you-sheep" because they bought into the promise of a job, benefits, government-take-care-of-me mindset? You actuality seem bitter and resentful that you served...not that it was an honor and privilege.
As a military "brat" (father and both bothers career military after graduating Naval Academy) taught me from day one... "The World Doesn't Owe You A Damn Thing". We can do better by our Vets, no doubt, but there are many that return to continue on in a productive manner. Perhaps we could look to see what made the positive difference for them and emulate it rather than always blaming the government for not doing enough. We know what doesn't work....now what has worked for those that have successfully returned? One of the most successful programs ever was the GI Bill. Educate...so vets can become self sufficient. It worked extremely well for the the WWII vets.
So go on back to laughing...it must be a wonderful thing to sit in such rarified air and LOL at everyone. Having spent all my formative years around honorable military men and women, I don't laugh at you...I weep.

Chief is correct on this except for one issue. The 2nd article. I think it's the second, not sure. The one which declares the president as commander in chief of the armed forces. His authority to conduct that little task overrides his duty to inform congress if it is deemed an urgent military issue. I guess they thought it was. Boehner has had his head up his ass so long his skin is brown. Heh Heh
And what Susan said.

What SC said,doubled.
It must be easy to sit on that hill and post pics of people dying in New York .
After all ,they are not coming after anybody near Bishop.Just gutless.
And as far as doing something for vets ,good on you ,The Chief.
Others have ourselves,Competitors and myself have built 6 different house's for disabled vets in the past ,through Habitat for Humanity.
A program that works.

If that shakes out to be true,then he should face prosecution.
Till then ,and after,I will stand with what Obama has said,"We as Americans do not leave anyone behind".

The bogus Bush invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan led to the death of thousands of Americans but let's forget about that and focus on Bowe Bergdahl because it creates another chance for the neo-cons to spread more negative propaganda about Obama...Gotta love it...Squawk...! Polly want a cracker...

For all of you that remember how....get a few pitches in while this event resolves itself. There will be more accurate information coming.....don't do the day trader thing and bet your poke on half baked intelligence.

Well, to a man, the surviving members of his platoon are kind of agitated, and want his ass. And I'm not talking about in a "don't ask, don't tell" kind of way.
Bringing him home was a necessity, its what we vow to do. Now we deserve to have a bunch of questions answered. The truth would be a good bloody start.

"We as Americans do not leave anyone behind".
Hypocrites
You run all over countries all over the world and rape and pillage them for your own material lusty gains and then leave them behind
as destroyed shells to fend for themselves from scavengers whom moved in from behind.
Then you run your egotistical prideful mouths on how great you all are ......
