Newly freed soldier's Idaho hometown cancels rally amid backlash

The going is obviously getting rough .. Bowe is not having a good time being back home, it would seem.

Reuters reports the news this way:

In calling off the June 28 event, the officials cited concerns that they lacked the resources to safely manage the thousands of supporters and protesters who were expected to converge on the small mountain community of 8,000 residents.

The decision came as pressure mounted to cancel the rally in the face of rising hostility, expressed in a torrent of emails and phone calls directed at city officials and businesses, over claims by Bergdahl’s onetime Army comrades that he deliberately abandoned his post in Afghanistan.

The backlash to him and the Obama hostage for Bowe trade is now becoming an even larger controversy. So much so that even Chris Matthews seems to be abandoning the Obama Administration and the decision to trade five Taliban prisoners for Bergdahl.. 

Clocks are right twice a day.
And tingles going up legs turn into chills..

Taliban Release For Bergdahl: Obama Overrode Past Internal Objections

“suck it up and salute”

Wow…

Oh my

Taliban Release For Bergdahl: Obama Overrode Past Internal Objections

The well oiled Obama machine turns into this..

A sputtering and clumsy news event.

It seemingly all started fine.. Everyone was thrilled and enthralled when the United States announced that hostage Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl  was freed from Taliban control.. 

Then news trickled out slowly from there..
Initially Republicans voiced concern that the Obama Administration didn’t notify Congress about the hostage exchange before the release—a law signed by the President last year ordered the executive branch to do just that, 30 days of a warning before anyone is released from Gitmo. Then things got worse.. Bergdahl’s own former platoon members say that he abandoned his post and deserted the United States army.  Emails from Bowe to his father don’t help. They imply that he came to dislike the United States the mission in Afghanistan..

And then a strange tweet..
And then a White House surprised by how controversial the hostage for prisoners trade had become.. And then the news of who actually was released. We already had a trendy name for them: The Taliban Dream Team.

It has become shocking to see how great campaigners the Obama team was… but how awful they are at having any foresight into the ramifications of this trade.. 

We apparently do negotiate with terrorists, at least in a sense. We would not be releasing them would we not have been listening to their requests..

And while it’s  testament to the Untied States that we strive to never leave anyone behind, this particular soldier’s ‘desertion’ of the United States makes one wonder if he wanted to be left behind in the first place..

Strange times we live in.
Strange circumstances we are in..

Fellow soldiers call Bowe Bergdahl a deserter, not a hero

This story is getting bizarre..
Obama released 5 potential high profile terrorists in order for an American to be freed—someone being labeled a deserter by fellow soldiers .. He may have also lost his ability to speak English.. Even more, if he deserted it would have actually been a crime punishable in the military.
And with all that said, the White House didn’t even follow the law and consult Congress..
This is yet another weird tale of political intrigue.
Following it closely..
