It was announced today that Army Sargent Bowe Bergdahl who was a Taliban prisoner in Afghanistan was released, today. It is reported that SEALS are escorting him home.
The Obama Administration traded five Afghan Taliban prisoners at Guantanamo to secure Bergdahl’s release.
This is a good thing. One American soldier is worth a lot to us. Thank God we will have him home.
Now, the President needs to get to work to get others released from foreign imprisonment. Marine Sargent Andrew Tahmooressi was jailed after he took a wrong turn at the US/Mexican border and was detained by Mexican military authorities because Tahmooressi had weapons in his truck. These weapons are legal in the United States, but not in Mexico.
So far, the US government has not shown interest in rescuing this American Marine who is unjustly in a Mexican prison where he is being beaten regularly.
Mr President. It’s time to get busy. Free Sgt. Tahmooressi.
Berghdahl appears to have deserted.
He is no hero.
Obama broke the law again to trade him.
Part of Obama’s effort to empty Gitmo 🙂

Thanks, Ed. I had not remembered those allegations against Bergdahl. Now that you remind me, just how did he get captured? Nobody had a good explanation. However, I chose to give him the benefit of the doubt, and none of this has come up in the last few days.
Also, thanks for the link to your blog. It is hard to believe that Obama would take out his hatred of veterans on the Veterans Administration, but remembering what hs has done in the past (or has neglected to do), it is more than feasible that he would do this.
Ed: Here’s a link from CNN about Bergdahl.
