Obamamakes \’absolutely no apologies\’ for Bergdahl terror trade andclaims Taliban would have KILLED POW if he had told Congress
-
Obama appeared in Brussels alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron during a G7 meeting in Brussels
-
He insisted that \’we had a prisoner of war whose health had deteriorated,\’ despite a fit-looking Bergdahl who appeared in a Taliban video during Saturday\’s hostage hand-over
-
Administration officials reportedly told U.S. senators Wednesday that they weer kept in the dark because the Taliban threatened to kill Bergdahl if a prison-swap plan was leaked to the public
-
But Congress was advised in 2011 and 2012 of two separate plans to make a similar deal, and nothing was leaked despite unanimous opposition
-
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Thursday that giving Congress 30 days\’ notice, as federal law requires, \’would have seriously imperiled us ever getting him out\’
-
Hagel said the decision to swap five Taliban leaders for Bergdahl was \’unanimous\’ inside the West Wing of the White House
- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was told in advance, but he called it \’a big deal over nothing. …. What difference does it make?
Any questions?
