Paul Sperry, New York Post: Deal for Bowe Bergdahl looks worse and worse
The American soldier President Obama portrayed as a heroic POW of the Taliban and traded five jailed Taliban leaders for his release now looks more like the man President Trump called a “no-good traitor” who should “have been executed.”
On Monday, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl admitted deserting his Afghan post as well as misbehaving before the enemy and endangering fellow troops, confirming the betrayal several veterans who served alongside him have alleged for years. Though capital punishment is not in the offing, he does face life in prison at his sentencing later this month.

WNU Editor: To let these Taliban leaders go .... especially one who oversaw the genocide of thousands of Shiite civilians .... coupled with how the Obama administration and President Obama himself tried to spin this in another way .... is a stain for the Obama administration. On a side note .... a mea culpa here .... checked my archives and found that my prediction that this story would die down was wrong (Publius, James, William Moultrie, etc. were right) .... Deal To Swap Bowe Bergdahl For Five Taliban Leaders Have Put President Obama On The Defensive (June 4, 2014). I also found this tidbit of information that everyone has forgotten .... White House Overrode Pentagon And The Intelligence Community's Objections To Release The Taliban Five (June 14, 2014). And need we not forget this .... How did 6 die after Bowe Bergdahl's disappearance? (CNN). But there is one question that I would love to have answered .... what happened to the Taliban 5? Are they still in Qatar? Are they back in the war? I think one has passed away from natural causes, but if these characters are back in the war committing atrocities that they are known for .... this deal is beyond a stinker.

A bad deal unless you are reaching for job security.
