father s beard. they want to say they shouldn t have a parade. let the military decide, the military s best positioned. not us sitting on this panel and not all the political people on the republican side who have flip-flopped in the most cra scrxt en. unbelieve. we ve got to the details of this really matter. the details of these guantanamo detainees, even if you accept the principle that we want to bring everybody back, the details of this transfer mattered. these five guys, that makes it very difficult for some of the people who wanted to bring bergdahl back in theory very difficult for them to swallow. on your second point, i think you are right. there are some people who have jumped to conclusions here and want to say he was an enemy collaborator and we don t know that. at the same time if you look at what we ve heard from his squad mates, there were intelligence reports that he had immediately
completed after his disappearance in 2009. that report concluded he most likely walked away from his post on his own free will. stopped short of finding evidence he intended to permanently desert. his commanders and squad mates describe his service in positive terms. now some service members have gone public against him and his conduct and blame him for the deaths of other soldiers while they searched for him. the report also confirms that bergdahl shipped some of his personal items home like his computer and journal before he disappeared from his post. he now faces a military investigation into what exactly happened back in 2009. depending on the outsome of that, he could face a court-martial. the political debate roars on here with all of the arguing leeing several big questions unanswered like if he was a deserter does that mean he should have been left to die in afghanistan or the problem is the terms of the deal, five taliban prisoners for one
there is a classified report on the situation. yesterday ted state department, spokes marie harp was besieged with questions. you spent all of this time, five years to determine whether he was a deserter or not. he has been in captivity, lucas, i think he is probably the person who knows best what happened that night. i think his squad mates have the best indication. i don t think that s the case. ms. harp is entitled to her opinion but public opinion has definitely turned against the sergeant. and the swap in general. in a rasmussen poll 43% of americans now oppose the swap. 40 percent say it s okay. 17% a big number don t know. that number is going to change. more will come out against, wait and see. talking points believes that sergeant bergdahl and his father robert opposed the american presence in. the question is how far did sergeant bergdahl take his dissent. the military should investigate it to the fullest extent. the obama administration has botched an important
we don t. nobody knows what happen that night. i think his squad mates have the best indication i don t think that that s the case. today she described herself as inartful there. it s ridiculous. the fact that the state department is doing this and the cia didn t do an intelligence analysis and the defense department and special forces were cut out, why are they asking questions? why was this put in their hands in the first place? it s pathetic what they are trying to do to coverup an extremely juvenile foreign policy move again. it s been a rough week. you know, the va scandal, @ryow t representative hunter thanks for being here. thank you. i ll ask them what they think about that allegation. is that how they will handle these guys? go after them. the obama administration met
for democracy and maybe we shouldn t be there forever to prop things up. they already have these they have a book of etiquette. it is like a japanese tea ceremony. the next time we will bring a hostess gift. maybe on the anniversary. a gravy boat or something. they are coming from gerard. what do we do? i want to end with this. do we have too i m? this is marie harp. she was a spokesperson of the state department. she doesn t do a good job. it happened five years ago. she could have had five years to determine he has been in captivity! his squad mates have the best indication. i don t think that s the case.
