STUFF
THAT STINKS
O'Reilly is such a bully with anyone who disagrees with his perspective
that I can't bear to watch his constant interruptions and brow beatings
of "guests" on his nightly show.
Gotta give him his props, tho, in pursuing things that he thinks
gubmint is hiding from us or stonewalling us on. For several
months
now, I've been wondering why nothing's been said about Bergdahl.
Apparently so has O'Reilly. So he used the leverage of his
position as
self-appointed watchdog over D.C. politics as usual to get some
definitive answers on what's going on with the Bergdahl case.
Scuttlebutt this morning all over Google confirms my suspicions that a
decision was made months ago to charge Bergdahl with desertion
and put
the process in motion to court-martial him. And since his
desertion
occurred in time of war in a combat zone, the ultimate penalty is death.
Still doesn't answer my question of precisely why the WH doesn't want
him tried and convicted, tho. Soetoro's swappiing 5 Taliban field
marshalls for one goofy dipshit is already seen as gross incompetence
and favoritism toward Muslims while making good on his campaign promise
to close Gitmo. "What difference, at this point, does it make" if
Bergdahl is convicted of desertion and thereby responsible for the
deaths of several soldiers who were sent out to rescue his sorry ass.
The White House has no authority to direct Army handling of individual
cases of unacceptable behavior and performance by its active duty
personnel, regardless of the feared PR disaster they may bring upon the
administration. Soetoro can fire some generals, even pardon the
convicted deserter I suppose, if he feels like it, but he can't rewrite
the UCMJ the same way he's editing and revising the Constitution
without some drastic consequences.
If you wanna read the rumors,
just google Bergdahl desertion
and they'll pop up. The discussion between O'Reilly and Colonel
Shaefer is all over the place, too.
