Bowe Bergdahl: Another Sunday Show Fib from Susan Rice?

The last time National Security
Adviser Susan Rice made a memorable
appearance on the Sunday morning news shows it was on five different networks
in 2012 to spread the ridiculous and untrue fable that a YouTube video had been
the cause of four deaths in Benghazi, as opposed to terrorists the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton should have been
prepared for. This Sunday, Rice might have been caught in a brand new fib.
Please Note: This Video was Removed.
Rice appeared on ABC's This Week to defend Obama's
release of The Taliban Dream Team from Guantanamo
Bay in exchange for Army Sergeant Bowe
Bergdahl, who had been a Taliban prisoner in Pakistan for five years. Other than
setting the terrible precedent of negotiating with terrorists, the exchange has
become controversial over claims that Bergdahl was a deserter who simply walked
away from his post. Rice, however, said on ABC that Bergdahl had been
"taken in battle."
Bergdahl had apparently become
disillusion with the United States,
the military, and the mission in Afghanistan. There are reports that
just prior to disappearing, Bergdahl mailed a lot of his stuff home, including
his computer. Then, a number of his platoon mates claim, he just walked away
from his post.
At first, the Army classified
Bergdahl as DUSTWUN, or duty status: whereabouts unknown.
Despite all of this, Rice
attempted to make the prisoner swap look like an administration triumph and
obviously wanted to make it sound to George
Stephanopoulos and to the American people as though Obama had just secured
the release of an American hero:
Sergeant Bergdahl wasn't simply a
hostage. He was an American prisoner of war captured on the battlefield. We
have a sacred obligation we have upheld since the found of our Republic to do
our utmost to bring back our men and women who are taken in battle.
Having watched this story unfold
over the last 24 hours, the similarities to Benghazi
are striking. You have (with notable exceptions like CNN's Jake Tapper) a media
that wants to protect Obama from any criticism or fallout over the Bergdahl
release; thankfully, thanks to alternative media, you have the truth getting
out despite the media's best efforts; and you have Susan Rice on a Sunday news
show launching what looks like another phony narrative.
But when the DC media doesn't make
Democrats pay any kind of political price for anything, why wouldn't Obama haul
out the Benghazi Playbook?
