Well that didn't take long.
1. Team USA recruited, heavily armed & trained the Taliban in the '90s when the USSR waged a foolish War in Afghanistan. See Charlie Wilson's War for the easy to understand version of this. Like Saddam Hussein, not all that long ago the Taliban were the USA's BFFs.
2. After 911, when Osama bin Laden allegedly ran away to Afghanistan, the Taliban leaders *offered* to capture him & give him to the USA. W Bush declined this generous offer. Gee I wonder why.
3. Navy SEALS claim that they had ObL in their sights in the Tora Bora Hills in Oct 2001, but literally just as they were about to take off after him, W Bush called them off.
4. Then - as if by magic - it suddenly became "necessary" to wage WAR, Inc on Afghanistan & the Taliban. Of course, the CIA was just itching to get their grubby mitts on the poppy fields that the Taliban had shut down. Gee whiz, whaddaya know, one of the firstest things that happened was that the CIA got the various Afghani war lords back into poppy growing & heroin production. So, yeah, the Taliban was a bit peeved about that. Can you blame them?
4. Then Team USA commenced a shooting War, which has been pretty much a disaster for the Afghani people, but why should Tea Baggers give a sh*t about dusky hued Muzlinz somewhere over there? F*ck 'em, I'm sure would be their answer. But whatever did the Tea Baggers "get" from this WAR, other than their tax dollar$ being mis-spent so that our Chinese overlords could steal Afghani resources. Hope you enjoy your taxes being spent for that purpose.
5. We do NOT know what happened with Bowe Bergdahl. Support the Troops, baggers? Except when Rush tells you not do. The hypocrisy, of course, stinks. Read Sean Smith's account of that outpost where Bergdahl was stationed. Talk about an utter lack of leadership. I don't know what happened, but it's disgusting to witness conservatives rolling in the usual muck 'n mire of dissing Bergdahl for being a traitor or a deserter or whatever. All this from LAZY useless bigoted shitheads who never served a day in their worthless lives. F*ck you.
6. The Charnel House of Hell called Gitmo was allegedly stolen from the Cubans to house terrorists who supposedly posed a threat to USA. The Taliban incarcerated there were POWs. A POW is different from a terrorist, although I get it that ignorant dumb@sses can't figure that out. It's customary for POWs to be returned at the end of a conflict. That's what this is. It's something that's been done forever. Get over it.
Disclaimer: I didn't vote for Obama, and I'm not thrilled with him as Pres. But the INSANE and incessant whining and victimizing by rightwingers - reliably brainwashed by Rush & Fox - is revolting and stupid. YOU are bringing this country DOWN. YOU are the PROBLEM.
A year ago, Republicans were criticizing President Obama for having done nothing to bring Bowe Bergdahl back. "The President hates the troops!" they were saying. "He supports the Taliban!"
In February, John McCain said that he thought trading five guys to get Bergdahl back would be an OK thing to do.
And then President Obama did what they wanted done, and several Republican members of Congress either tweeted their pleasure at the news or posted something to that effect on their Websites, and Bergdahl's hometown of Hailey, Idaho planned a huge welcome home party for him.
All good, and then...
...the Official Republican Memo came out, saying that President Obama's trade for Bergdahl was The. Worst. Thing. Ever.
Suddenly,...
Obama has been charged with the greatest attempt to endanger human lives ever.
Obama has been accused of sympathizing with terrorists.
Republicans are claiming that these five guys, who have been imprisoned for a decade and regularly tortured, are going to immediately go back to the battlefield and will soon kill Americans.
Republicans are calling for Obama's impeachment.
The Republicans who originally supported this exchange have walked back their comments, deleted their tweets and removed their Website posts.
Bergdahl has been called a traitor and a deserter.
His hometown, due to threats of violence and security concerns, has canceled his welcome home party.
Bowe Bergdahl may, or may not, be guilty of desertion, but regardless, the Republicans have completely destroyed his life in exchange for political capital.
The Republicans have demonstrated once again that their support of the troops is a Goddamned lie.
The Republican response to this has been truly shameful, and they have possibly reached a new low, which, given their history, is truly saying something.
Simply reprehensible.
ANOTHER BIG-TIME SCREW-UP OR SHOULD WE SAY ALLWED MORE KILLING OF OUR MEN BESIDES BENGHAZI ..ETC. NOW THE FRAUD OBAMA ALLOWS SIX OF OUR MILITARY MEN TO DIE FOR A KNOWN DESERTER
HOW IS IT THAT THIS GUY STILL REMAINS IN THE WHITE HOUSE? HE SHOULD BE HELD BEFORE THE COURTS, IMPEACHED IMMEDIATELY AND HAVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DECIDE HIS FATE.
AND THE POOR PARENTS WHO LOST THEIR SONS AFTER BEING TOLD TO LOOK FOR BERGDAHL, HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO CLAIM THAT GHEIR SONS SHOULD NOT HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES BEING MADE TO GO OUT AND FIND THIS DESERTER!
IF OBAMA IS LEFT TO REMAIN IN OUR WHITE HOUSE HE WILL CONTINUE TO BREAK THIS COUNTRY APART WHICH HE HAS CONTINUOSLY BEEN DOING!
THE GUY NEEDS TO GO!! IMPEACH HIM NOW!!
A OUT TIME THE DEMS GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND DEMAND ANSWERS FROM THIS FRAUDULENT ADMINISTRATION! LETTING GO FIVE MURDEROUS TALIBAN SCUM FOR THE RELEASE OF A DESERTER! NO PRESIDENT DOES THAT..ONLY BARRY HUSSEIN OBAMA DOES.
GET THIS GUY OUT OF OFFICE BEFORE HE COMPLETELY RUINS THIS NATION!
AMERICANS WANT ACCOUNTABILITY FOR EVERY UNLAWFUL AND DECEITFUL WORKS DONE BY THIS ADMINISTRATION! WE'RE NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE! AMERICANS ARE FED UP..WE'RE NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE
MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEIR CRIMES..AND IMPEACH THE FRAUD NOW!
W Bush should not have declared War on Afghanistan in the first place. Then none of this would have happened. The Taliban never represented a threat to the USA. Never.
Does the Taliban represent a threat to the USA now that we've managed to destroy their country? Possibly, but not that much. I think they'll be happy if we just go away.
If soldiers allegedly lost their lives looking for Bergdahl? Well I'm sorry about that, but that's what happens during a War. No one truly knows what happened with/to Bergdahl, and it's distasteful, to say the least, to witness Republicans & Tea Partiers saying terrible things about this young man in order to politicize a tragic event like that.
It's disgusting from the same ugly thuggish mob who clearly don't mean it when they parrot out "support the troops."
STFU already.
Mad Magazine - you'd sink that low, really?
When did Rupert Murdoch buy you?
IMPEACH THE MUSLIM SYMPATHIZER NOW!

HE'S THE BIGGEST FRAUD TO OCCUPY OUR WHITE HOUSE.
IMPEACH OBAMA NOW!!! SAVE OUR COUNTRY!

Wow. It's interesting how the rightwing sock puppet is here so quickly and trying to cover up (on the side bar) all the other comments made by sane, rational commenters, who deal in factual reality.
Who's afraid of the TRUTH getting out?
to gruaud: was this really done by Mad Magazine? Or did someone steal that logo? I'm not sure.
LISTEN TO OUR MILITARY MEN WHO WERE IN THE SAME PLATOON WITH BERGDAHL.. THEY ALL SAY HE WAS A DESERTER,
THE LIAR-IN-CHIEF LETS GO FIVE TERRORISTS TO CONTINUE THEIR CRIMES AGAINST AMERICA FOR DESERTER.
The FRAUD-IN-CHIEF SHOULD HAVE HIS ASS OUT THERE LIKE OUR GUYS BEING TOLD TO SEARCH FOR A DESERTER AND THEN ENDS UP GETTING KILLED FOR IT.. THESE PARENTS WHO LOST THEIR SONS HAVE EVERY DAMN RIGHT TO BE PISSED OFF! AS THE FAMILIES WHO LOST THEIR BOYS IN BENGHAZI!

IMPEACH HIM NOW AND SAVE OUR COUNTRY!!!!
I agree, Obama needs to go! He has proven to be a failure of high magnitude! They are using America to and our money to flaunt their extravagant and numerous vacations, when Mrs. Obama doesn't even like Our Country!
She is pro-black and this couple have done more to create racism than could every have been imagined!!
So, yes, I agree ... He Should Be IMPEACHED!
Interesting. MAD is owned by TimeWarner now, so go figure, but also do remember that MAD is meant to be SATIRE! Ergo, despite rightwingers latching onto it, perhaps the real intent is more subtle.
I confess that I missed the MAD logo at the bottom. While this is owned by the corporate fascist media giant, TW, I'm thinking the intention may be more subtle.
Nonetheless, how conservatives are behaving over this is beyond the pale. The sock puppets are being paid over time to try to suppress FACTS. Sigh.
Why is it that the Left can't handle the FACTS?
They choose not to accept the TRUTH when its FACING THEM SQUARE IN THE EYES.
Its these people who contribute ruining our nation!
Your all losers who don't deserve to live in this country that our ancestors and our good men in military have fought to defend!
Your all despicable..
@ Anonymous... AMEN bro!
@ ferschitz
I'm really big on trying to source the material here.
All you freakin libs out there.. Get your asses out on the Front Lines and put your lives at risk..you lazy no nothing loud mouths, who have nothing better to do than to hide behind a computer..you sissies.
Save our Men...Get Obama Out Now!
It means nothing for the Left-Nuts to deny the facts of our Men who served in the same outfit with Bergdahl, to dismiss everything they witness to, and saying the same thing as to the events which took place.
Anyone to go against our freedom fighters who through their blood, sweat and tears has allowed these vermin to be able to spew their idiocy aren't worthy to be called 'American'. It shows you just how 'loyal' they are to our many dying every day to protect their asses and they don't appreciate a damn thing. They're worthless POS ..
@semper fi..
Tell it!
Wow. The rightwing think tanks, etc, really don't want a different view point expressed on this topic, do they? What are they afraid of?
Taliban was never the enemy of the US and posed no threat. There's no definitive proof of what happened to Bergdahl at this point. That's factual. The rest is speculation & lies.
I see the chickenhawks are here in force, spouting their tough-guy talk and usual brand of situational patriotism.
Ending of two pointless and expensive wars, the killing of OSL, was all done during the present administration. Get over it.
Innocent until proven guilty, anyone? This story has turned into political points scoring with a young man's life used as the pawn. Too bad no one really knows what happened, despite what Rush may have shouted out. If needed, let Bergdahl have his day in court, and let the judge and/or jury decide. Conservatives are really out of line on this one, especially given that it's Factual that Republicans were calling out Obama not very long ago for NOT negotiating Bergdahl's release.
Take a chill pill and let the chips fall where they may. So much hyperbole on this one. Pretty sad day for America, that citizens feel it's ok to turn on someone without knowing the facts.
Unsure whether Obama was correct in the POW swap/release, but with this crowd, it's damned of O does something & damned if he doesn't. These rightwingers have no credibility.
Agree that the Taliban are likely not the huge threat, as propaganda is making out right now. The vehement lying responses indicates that some nerve was touched when some of the regulars here included factual posts. Tells you something.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Wednesday said he didn’t know of any soldiers being killed in the hunt for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after he disappeared in 2009.
…
But Mr. Hagel cautioned against a rush to judgment. “Let’s get the facts, but first let’s focus on getting Sgt. Bergdahl well,” he said.
Mr. Hagel repeatedly said the U.S. had a responsibility to get its soldiers back.
Mr. Hagel said that until the facts were in and investigations were complete, it was “a bit unfair to presume anything.”
“We don’t do that in the United States,” he said.

Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., wrote earlier this year to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, saying it was critical that efforts to free Bergdahl are not overcome by bureaucracy.
“Given the significance and necessity for centralized command and control, which I have been informed is little to nonexistent, I urge you to seriously consider the idea of directing an individual to organize, manage and coordinate activity that involves multiple elements of the federal government working toward Bergdahl’s release,” wrote Hunter, a Marine veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan.

I think that's a record.
Which opinion should we consider to prevale? We have the right-wing opinion of a few months ago that Obama wasn't doing enough to free this soldier. Then we have the opinion of today when, rather than allow Obama this small accomplishment, the right turns their opinion on its head and starts screaming that this soldier did not deserve our help. How long can this group of lunatic carnival barkers keep claiming to be a political party? This nonsense is a national embarrassment.
I find it amusing that as time goes on, the five half-dead, endlessly-tortured guys we traded to get Bergdahl back have taken on almost mythical status.
They're just five guys. They may, or may not, try to harm Americans in the future. I don't care; I'm less afraid of them than I am of any gun-toting lunatic I might encounter at the grocery store.
But as time goes on, I've seen them referred to as "Senior Taliban Leaders", or "Senior Taliban Brain Trust." Every day, these men become more important, more powerful, and more dangerous, apparently.
Next up, "Obama vows to destroy America; releases steroid-enhanced Taliban Supermen™!"
(cue maniacal laughter)
Why can't the right-wing commentators on here get a little more control over that caps-lock button?? Well, that's okay. Just tells me which comments to ignore.
