Mr. President This is Not Your Government, It is OUR GOVERNMENT!!

Did I miss something or is the government of the United States a government for the people and by the people? Well for some reason our president seems to feel otherwise he told Dan Rather in a recent interview on NBC.

In this interview the president explains that when a soldier that wears our uniform is captured behind enemy lines we do everything in our power to bring that soldier back home.  I could not agree more with that sentiment, but the questions remains at what cost.  What type of sacrifice must be made to bring home any soldier from behind enemy lines?


Apparently Mr. Obama feels that he has the right to act alone in determining what sacrifices can be made to bring a soldier home, in this case the release of Bowe Bergdahl. Obama went back on his word yet again as he circumvented congressional approval and put in motion the swap that landed five high level terrorists back in the hands of the enemy.







There are many questions surrounding this particular incident such as why were those five of the highest level terrorists that were being held in Guantanamo Bay released to a country such as Qatar?  Why was this individual, Bergdahl, held in such high regard even though so many of his comrades confirmed that he was indeed a deserter?

Mr. President we the people demand answers and we demand them now as to why every single American citizen at home and abroad, and every soldier around the world has been placed in increased danger as a result of this horrible trade. Additionally, this is not "your government" this is OUR GOVERNMENT, we elected you, we elect every single member of the House, and the Senate.  We do so in good faith that those who we elect will abide by the law and the Constitution.

Bergdahl Declared Jihad While In Captivity

Traitor!!!! 

It's safe to say, at this point all fingers are pointing to the fact that Bowe Bergdahl was indeed a traitor as many of his former comrades are confirming. Reports suggest that he willingly left the base to take up arms with the enemy.  Shortly after he left the base it is also being reported that as many as six of our own soldiers were killed while attempting to recover him.

Fox News own Megan Kelly interviewed some of those very individuals that were part of the search and fought alongside him. Each of these individuals felt that Bergdahl should at least face a court marshal to bring forth what really happened while he was help captive. 

It is important we follow the rule of law and ensure that Bergdahl is indeed tried before a military tribunal.  Once the facts come out and we see exactly what took place he should face the punishment in accordance with the crime.

Questions Behind the Release of Bowe Bergdahl

The news has recently broke that our last service person held captive in Afghanistan has since been released back to the United States.  What isn't being reported on is the price we paid to bring that soldier back home. I more than anyone understand the significance of bringing home our service men and women from war, but the question remains at what cost.  To bring home our solder, our president released five, count'em, FIVE terrorists from our military installation in Guantanamo Bay. It has been reported that these terrorists will be released to the authorities in Qatar, but from there who knows where exactly they will end up.

What is even more chilling about this entire situation is the tweet that was posted on the Twitter account of Bowe Bergdahl's father Robert Bergdahl,





"@ABalkhi I am still working to free Guantanamo prisoners. God will repay for the death of every Afghan child, ameen!"

This tweet has since been deleted. But the question still remains.  What exactly was behind the release of our prisoner and the subsequent release of the five terrorists back into the hands of the Muslim bortherhood.

Another question that must be addressed is why are we putting so much effort into getting this one particular prisoner back when we also have a marine, Andrew Tahmooressi, trapped in a Mexican maximum security prison for more than 60 days.

We currently have a president and an administration who is more concerned about political gain and political capital than the true security and safety of our service men and women at home and abroad.  The only time this president acts is when he can in some way, shape, or form benefit directly from the situation.
