Jeanne Shaheen Is Thankful for Bowe Bergdahl’s ‘Courage’

Michelle Obama - Jeanne Shaheen Bowe Burgdahl Jeanne Shaheen Is Thankful for Bowe Bergdahl’s ‘Courage’

June 2, 2014

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) released the following statement after it was announced that Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was being released after five years in captivity in Afghanistan:

“I was so grateful to hear of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl’s release after five years in captivity. His release is an incredible testament to our military and our country’s commitment to leaving no one behind on the battlefield. I am looking forward to him being reunited with his family soon and am thankful for his service, his sacrifice, and his courage.”

Bowe Bergdahl appears to have been a deserter and terrorist sympathizer who aided and abetted the enemy. It also seems clear that he was portrayed as a prisoner of war so he could be exchanged for as many high ranking Taliban leaders as could be managed.

Obama and his administration fell for it, probably clawing for some semblance of foreign policy win. Jeanne Shaheen did what she always does–went along with Obama for the ride. But Bowe is looking a lot like a suicide bomber without the bomb–potentially trading his life for five leading Taliban terrorists.

If Bowe is tried for treason and executed, he will be another rube portrayed as a Taliban hero. If not, he will still be a Taliban hero . And either way, the Taliban got five terrorists back who will quickly return to the task of killing more Americans (or our allies), while Democrats struggle with articulating a concept foreign to them as cover for this embarrassing disaster– something called ‘leave no man behind.’

Bergdahl had the courage to run off in the night, insert himself with the Taliban, assist them in their training and operations, and then sacrifice himself in exchange for five Taliban war heroes who would quickly return to leadership positions within a major terrorist organization.

Senator Shaheen is grateful, and thankful for Bowe Bergdahl’s “courage.”

We’d be grateful if someone would please get Barack’s PR stiff to New Hampshire out of the US Senate.
