The fact that Obama wakes up (Physically, I don't ever recall him being awake mentally) each day and is still president is just wrong.
US Army POW is released in swap for 5 Gitmo detainees.

Who said 'whatever necessary'?
Lots of people, the more partisan they were the more they wanted it done. Period. No matter what it took. Millions of forum posts, blog posts, Facebook and Twitter twitter posts. Not to mention those who signed the White House petition to do whatever necessary to bring him home. The demands were to bring him home, period, without qualification.
Does anyone know if some of the information now coming out was available at that time of the petitions?
Exactly. The 'new information' has a lot to do with their change of opinion.
Ok, I saw 'Shannon ' and a couple other twitter posts from people most don't even know. Curious if they knew he deserted his post. They didn't have all the details about this guy, including Shannon. That would change quite a few people's opinions about what should have been done.
At this point, I would just go for the right trade.
It's a good start! Through in the entire congress, all members of the supreme court and all federal judges and lawyers and we have a deal.
The more partisan, the more they wanted it done? Interesting statement. So people from the left didn't want to get it done as much. Given that, wonder if any of them even signed the petition?
Well, has Obama ever done anything as president that you approved of?
Not yet, but he could resign, that would as least be a start.
Yes, he didn't muck it up totally when we got Bin Laden. Other than that, not much.
Among people who use their head for more than temporary hat storage, that's a common phenomenon - interesting that you didn't know that, lol.
Actually, the 'new' information isn't entirely: some was in docs available on Wikileaks, but that wouldn't likely be found by the folks who make up their minds after reading a partisan post on facebook [or hearing a 17 second 'news' report]. It's an ugly surprise to find their 'hero' might have been a traitor, or just a flawed human who'd reached his breaking point, [and I can understand the disinclination to be around the kind of people who can joke about a child being run over by a truck], or some shade of gray, rather than the black or white they prefer.
PS I was surprised to read that Bergdahl Sr's bushy beard was considered a Muslim thing - I wonder if the Duck Commander knows?

The word 'hero' is so over used today that it's lost it's meaning. He wasn't a hero he was a POW. He did nothing heroic.
The Military is screwed up and always has been, a dang PFC who was in the Army for less than a year hasn't got a flipping clue as to whats going on. I'm not saying that he can't know right from wrong, but if he doesn't even understand why you light up a mountain side he wasn't much of an experienced trooper.

The military brass aren't going to allow an outcome which further embarrasses the president.

SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE! What new? This country has been doing this garbage since Vietnam. It is a slap in the face to all who served with honor. This "president" sucks.
Now you know good and well that isn't true. This pretender doesn't suck. He would have to improve 37 times over to rise to the level of sucks.
