investigation so that nothing gets done until the next Republican either takes the White House, or the Repukes take control of the Senate.

That's what BENGHAZI....NSA....IRS....EPA....BERGDAHL are all designed to do. If he's tied up in investigations, he won't have time for anything else. At least, that's what they think.

After 6+ years of finding a whole lotta nothing on Whitewater, the GOP found that "gasp" Bill Clinton was getting a little on the side and then lied in an attempt to save his ass from an enraged wife. I remember then when a humiliated, humbled Clinton was removed from office by a righteously enraged Senate....no wait, that's not how it went, is it?

to endorse meat. He goes out to a lot of burger joints and when he travels he eats at local joints. I want him to stand up and say, "Hey, I enjoy eating meat!"

I just want to see the Republican party endorse vegetarian/vegan-ism.

...who could have imagined?

Unless he was court-martialed in absentia and none of us know about it, he's first-and-foremost an American soldier being held against his will. We have the responsibility to bring him home.

If his behavior broke military law, he will face a court martial, and he will be dealt-with accordingly.

The story is very complicated but I am glad they got him out.

1) Let him rot/get killed/commit suicide. 2) Rescue Attempt that may kill soldiers AND Bergdahl 3) Some sort of negotiated deal/prisoner swap. Republicans need to clarify which option they would have chosen, bearing in mind on Option 2 that part of their trashing Bergdahl is in relation to troops who may have already died looking for him.

...and then he traded missiles to the Iranians to get hostages released in Lebanon.

Being cynical, one could assert that option 1 would give us a martyr. Reality, however, is that the Taliban prisoners will be sent back when the Afghanistan war ends. Option 3 makes sense at several levels.

damned. This was the right thing to do no matter what Bergdahl's history is.. which Hagel says we'll sort out in time.

Bergdahl reaches Germany; Obama aides defend prisoner exchange

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s health was deteriorating and that his life was in danger, while White House National Security Adviser Susan Rice said the deal met a “a sacred obligation” to bring Bergdahl home.

Obama advisers fired back by saying Republicans would be in full attack mode if the U.S. government had squandered an opportunity to gain Bergdahl’s release.

Speaking to reporters traveling with him in Asia, Hagel also left open the possibility that the circumstances of Bergdahl’s capture might one day be investigated, but said that was not the Pentagon’s first priority. Bergdahl was first noticed missing from his base in Afghanistan June 30, 2009, amid allegations that he left the base voluntarily.

“Sgt. Bergdahl is a member of the United States Army,” Hagel said. “He's a sergeant in the United States Army. Our first priority is assuring his well-being and his health and getting him reunited with his family. Other circumstances that may develop and questions, those will be dealt with later.”

..and now can we bring the rest of our troops home?
