Let's Just Sum Up this Week and Be Done With It......

Dropping Another Turd in the Punchbowl to See If It Floats

The Obama administration officials coming out and saying the reason for the White House illegally failing to notify Congress about the Bergdahl 5 for 1 Taliban exchange, was because the Taliban threatened to kill Bergdahl if the White House leaked the information. So now this White House is dropping the “he was really sick and could have died” excuse to one of , “we couldn’t tell anyone or they would kill him.”

As infuriating it is to know they are lying yet again about the Bergdahl boondoggle, it’s actually a bit of good news to see them now attempting such an outlandish and easily corrected version of events.

It means the White House is truly panicking over this.

Congress could have been informed, and that process could have been made classified.

There, end of story. Instead, this White House purposely broke the law and let loose five of the most dangerous terrorists we had in custody in exchange for one soldier who communicated his disgust with the U.S. military and America, and then had six other soldiers killed while trying to retrieve him.

The Taliban Fighters Bummed - He Didn't Even Say Goodbye

BI- The Taliban fighters who handed off Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl to a Special Forces team during a prisoner exchange in eastern Afghanistan were reportedly bummed they didn't stick around long enough to exchange pleasantries.
An interesting report by the New York Times' Matthew Rosenberg goes into detail about the now-viral Taliban propaganda video of the exchange, but one passage stuck out in particular.

Rosenberg Writes:

But once on the ground, the Americans, to the dismay of the Taliban, proved uninterested in any pomp. They rushed through the encounter and did not stop to talk or exchange polite greetings, as is customary in Afghanistan, even during hostage releases. The narrator complained that they had managed to shake hands with only two of the Americans, and that one of them had hastily shoved his left hand forward, considered a particularly rude gesture in Afghanistan.

“We wanted to convey some messages to them via the interpreter, but they didn’t spend much time with us,” a Taliban fighter said on the video speculating that perhaps the Americans were too frightened to linger. “They even didn’t let us shake hands with the soldier and say goodbye, and they behaved in a very simple way....."

Still, you can't really blame the American rescuers for wanting to get out of there quick, especially with Taliban fighters standing on a hillside overlooking the helicopter and heavily armed with RPG's.

And another point:  if Sgt.Bergdahl was not a deserter/collaborator, and indeed the Prisoner of War that the Obama administration claims he was, why would his captors be expecting hugs and kisses and a warm goodbye?

Okay all You Sarcastic Bastids....Time to Bump Up Your Game

It seems the same Secret Service that gets drunk and parties with hookers in foreign countries doesn't have enough to do these days and plans to purchase software to watch users of social networks in real time, according to contract documents. In a work order posted on Monday, the agency details information the tool will collect -- ranging from emotions of Internet users to old Twitter messages, and  capabilities will include “sentiment analysis,” "influencer identification, and  “ability to detect sarcasm."

The automated technology will "synthesize large sets of social media data" and "identify statistical pattern analysis" among other objectives.The tool also will have the "functionality to send notifications to users,” they said.

I certainly hope they enjoy a good piece of sarcasm when they see it!

Details of Gitmo Prisoner Exchange Agreement Leaked

(MFNS) Washington- Much speculation has risen as to the details of the Gitmo prisoners swap, why and for what reason would the administration release such dangerous men at this time.  State Dept. moles have leaked to Middle Finger News scant details of the agreement made with the Gitmo 5 in accordance with their release.

We have learned that the White House pressured the Labor Dept. for a promise of a 700 million dollar loan to the 5 detainees to help set them up in gainful employment in their home countries in turn for an agreement not to return in anyway to the battlefield.  Mullah Norullah Norrl, the only literate of the group penned his signature to the 17 page agreement and and gave his word to abide by that agreement. Other details remain secret.

When informed of the leak, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told us she had severe reservations about the release of such dangerous Taliban Leaders, but that her major concern was her fear the 5 will unfairly gouge their customers with artificially high prices. 

Ethics Complaint Filed Against Harry Reid

The Hill

"Tea Party Patriots have filed a complaint against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) with the Senate Ethics Committee to protest his repeated attacks against Charles and David Koch."

"Jenny Beth Martin, the co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, filed the complaint, charging Reid with “unlawfully and unethically targeting private citizens.” The complaint further states that Reid “has misused Senate staff or resources to engage in partisan campaign activity in violation of federal laws and Senate rules.”

“It’s been generations since a member of the Senate has abused the power of his office to attack private citizens the way Harry Reid has sought to vilify Charles and David Koch,” Martin said. "Reid’s tactics are “nothing more than a continuation of the thuggish intimidation campaign mounted by the Obama administration to target and silence people and organizations Democrats disagree with.”

"The Louisiana Republican Party asked the Senate ethics panel, officially known as the Select Committee on Ethics, in April to investigate Reid’s use of his official website and Twitter account to criticize the Koch brothers."
