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
