Since Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl (click here) was captured in the mountains of
Afghanistan in 2009, his father had become an expert on Guantanamo Bay’s
detainees. It was out of necessity, because the Taliban demanded that
the United States free prisoners from Guantanamo in exchange for
Bergdahl.
“No family in the United States understands the detainee issue like ours,” Robert Bergdahl said in a 2011 plea to his son’s captors.
So it wasn’t entirely unusual when Bergdahl apparently published a tweet last week about Guantanamo’s detainees. Except this tweet was directed at a Taliban spokesman. And it came just four days before it was announced that his son was finally being released.
“I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners,” the tweet said, according to various screen grabs. The tweet was subsequently deleted. “God will repay for the death of every Afghan child, ameen.”
The Super POW, can trade the USA for Taliban victory. Why don't Americans disbelieve there was only one POW fully accounted for and go to Afghanistan to ask the natives if they have found any GI remains while farming the rice paddies.

BRANSON, Mo., June 16, 2005 – When Vietnam veterans (click here) hear that the military is committed to accounting for every last one of their comrades left behind in Southeast Asia, many admit they think it's little more than lip service.
But active-duty service members here for "Operation Homecoming USA" are giving them faith that the U.S. military is working aggressively to account for some 1,800 Americans still missing from the Vietnam War.
A team from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, has temporarily set up shop in a small, olive-drab tent on the grounds of The Grand Palace theater. The theater complex is the epicenter of activities for Operation Homecoming USA, an official welcome home celebration for Vietnam veterans that's expected to attract as many as 50,000 veterans here this week....
Is it too much to ask that we stand as a nation grateful to have all our soldiers accounted for? Is it? Is it too much to ask to stand as a nation, after 13 years of war that should never have happened, to be grateful it is over? Is it too much to ask?
See, the facts are clear. If Bush didn't divert his ambitions into Iraq, the Afghanistan War would never has seen the resurgence of the Taliban. So, the fact the Taliban is still in Afghanistan is Bush's scandal. President Obama tried to make up for lost ground with a surge in 2009, but, we all know how well that worked out. It was an effort that would find a reconstituted Taliban and healthy al Qaeda presence.
Let me state that again.

So while Georgie and Dickie power played into Iraq they completely left the USA at risk for another al Qaeda attack masterminded by bin Laden and his al Qaeda in Afghanistan.
Let's see, rather than being grateful for the return of our only POW, let's just say Bo was actually born in Kenya and is President Obama's secret brother by another mother and shares a name with the White House pet for the longing of the family.
