Overseas, BHO met with President-elect Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine, but didnt go to
Ukraine to do so, perhaps because isolation deepens in breakaway Ukrainian region;
indeed, UKRAINIAN SEPARATISTS SCORED A MAJOR VICTORY by capturing a base near
Ukraine's border with Russia after a two-day assault and then quickly moved to take
another internal security base (as six militants were killed in the fighting and three
Ukrainian servicemen were injured). Also, reflecting Putins dominance, France defied
Allies by selling warship to Russia. {Also, contrasting how the fight against Islamism and
Putin is being manifest on both sides of the pond are the fact that the US just LEFT a

and, second, it empowered AG-Holder despite recognition that he notoriously engages
in prosecutorial discretion. Thus, I felt it preferable to ensure state-level enforcement

VA REFORM BILL HIT SENATE GRIDLOCK, as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)
posed an offer to Republicans: The Senate will vote on a version of a House-passed bill
that seeks to allow the VA to clear out bad actors caught up in the health-care scandal;
in return, Reid is demanding a vote on legislation devised by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)
that would create 27 new VA health facilities, expand veterans access to health care at
community centers, and encourage the VA to hire more doctors and nurses. [Reid wants
to work quickly and seemed unenthusiastic about offering votes on GOP amendments,
including a roll call on an alternate proposal developed by GOP Sens. John McCain and
Jeff Flake of Arizona, Richard Burr of North Carolina and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.

Primary electoral results were all superb; mainstream-Republicans won over potentially-irratic ones
[Lonegan lost again to MacArthur in NJ-3 and Donnelly lost to Kashkari in CA-gubernatorial primary],
while Ernst romped in Iowa [Dems will say Ernst has an 'extreme' record (privatize Social Security, make
abortion illegal and replace the income tax with a national sales tax) and Ernst will talk about the evils of
Obamacare and say she's part of the 'Iowa way' of running lean government and keeping
unemployment low, while Braley is enmeshed in the failures of Washington.] As a result, GOP Senate
picks delight party leaders, as the Republican Party continues its disciplined march toward an impressive
lineup of candidates this fall; Tuesday's primaries produced another batch of Senate nominees who
seem about as promising as party leaders could have hoped for, because the GOP has solid nominees for
five Democratic-held seats in states BHO lost [South Dakota, Montana, West Virginia, North Carolina and
Arkansas]. It's unclear whether they can achieve the same feat in Louisiana and Alaska, whose primaries
lie ahead.]. These results also undermine concern [raised by Dems/RINOs] that the TEA Party Movement
has peaked, noting the victory of Nebraskas Ben Sasse and the plurality-vote of Mississippis McDaniel
[who is expected to win a run-off over non-conservative Cochran]. {Also, in Oregon, Jeff Merkley Ran
From 'War on Women' Attacks Against Monica Wehby and an openly-gay gop-candidate-advanced-in-

This was a dead-heat; with 99.5% of precincts reporting, McDaniel had 49.6% (151,842),
Cochran had 48.9% (149,714), and Thomas Carey had 1.6%. Campaign-$ favored
Cochran: Cochran raised about $3.6 million and McDaniel raised $1.2 million, while
outside-monies totaled $3.2 million for Cochran and $4.5 million for McDaniel.

Top Republicans fear Cochran will LOSE the June 24 runoff because the MOMENTUM is
on McDaniel's side (WHAT a humiliation for a senior senator), and Cochran hasn't shown
the agility and verve that this scramble will require. It's tough to get your peeps to the
polls again three weeks after the election, and the tea party voters will have much more
excitement and intensity than the Cochran establishment will be able to muster. Haley
Barbour has his ways, the main reason D.C. reporters weren't more bearish on Cochran.
On the other hand, Palin said the Grassroots 'Shocked the Political World.'

A McDaniel victory would disrupt the '14 map, putting deep-red Mississippi IN-PLAY;
private Dem polling showed that the party's nominee, former Rep. Travis Childers,
would start a general election statistically tied with McDaniel. A race against Cochran
(well-liked by independents and many Dems) would be difficult to the point of futility.

Swap-Gate prompted Jon Stewart to slam all sides, mocking clichs coming from the Obama White

KRAUTHAMMER criticized 'ARROGANCE' and 'IGNORANCE' OF BHO; he proposed SUSAN RICE 'STAY

Bergdahl had 'served with honor and distinction' and a 'New York Times' Report Contradicted Rices

the COUPLE [a pregnant American woman and her Canadian husband] CAPTURED IN

seemingly reminiscent of what may have been an ambient variable in 12 [but not in 14]
is the claim by Oliver North that a Ransom of $5-6 Million Was Paid to Free Bergdahl.

Surprisingly, the WAPO claimed the GOP has a MANDATE' FROM the AMERICAN PEOPLE ON BENGHAZI
[and, perhaps by extension, Swap-Gate], a view that may be due to recognition by an NBC Reporter that
the Taliban Has Been More Forthcoming on the Bergdahl Swap Than has the US Government.

Clearly, Bergdahl's return ignited debate about U.S. strategic trajectory since 2001 and,
perceived more broadly, a former Special-Forces COMMANDER AT SOROS-FUNDED
THINK-TANK said, simply, BERGDAHL MUST APOLOGIZE [although there is not one
colleague who has come to his defense, while others feel he must be given a life-
sentence @ Ft. Levenworth]. Yet, one gets the feeling that Bowe Bergdahl Is Obama's
People, explaining two phenomena: BHOs resistence to efforts by the GOP to declassify
info about the "Fab Five" who were exchanged and the silence that greeted Hagel's
'Happy' News About Bergdahl's Release (watch Video).



The best way to succinctly summarize the salient features regarding is to parse a distillation of all
identifiable BHO-defenses in one WaPo essay composed by a RINO, Kathleen Parker; intercollated are
rejoinders that are reinforced by the bulk of hyperlinks that end this Blast e-mail.

With Bergdahl release, the answer had to be Yes
[well, not really]

The exchange of five Guantanamo detainees for the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has reminded
us of three unpleasant facts of life:

Only one unpleasantry glistens, namely, that this swap was another manifestation of an
evil, Imperial Presidency, for BHO is the President Nixon Always Wanted To Be.

1. The United States does negotiate with terrorists;

America shouldnt. The White House concurred [a day late, after Carney had dodged]
that The Taliban Is a Terrorist Organization when White House National Security Council
spokesperson Caitlin Hayden noted that the Taliban was added to the list of Specially
Designated Global Terrorists (SDGT) by executive order in July 2002, even if it is not listed
as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the State Department. Either designation
triggers asset freezes, according to the State Department, though they can differ on
other restrictions imposed on the target organization.

2. The president will circumvent laws as circumstances require;

BHO shouldnt. Hill leaders [John Boehner, Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell] didn't
know of Bergdahl-exchange deal beforehand, and Dem Dianne Feinstein concluded
Obama Broke The Law With Bergdahl Swap; subsequently, the White House apologized
for the 'oversight' in congressional notification [and scheduled a classified briefing for
the full 100-member chamber that was held Wednesday-P.M.] but, regardless, the NEW
YORK DAILY NEWS concluded 'OBAMA BETRAYED HIGHEST OBLIGATION OF HIS OFFICE.'.

3. Republicans and Democrats will be summarily outraged as party affiliations seem to require.

The GOP conveys relevant-comment. Ted Cruz ['How Many Soldiers Lost Their Lives to
Capture These Five Taliban Terrorists?'], Graham [Obama's Bergdahl Justification to
Leave No Man Behind 'Hollow' Given Lack Of Action In Benghazi and More GitMo
Releases Will Have GOP Calling for Impeachment], Sen. Marco Rubio [Impeachment for
Obama Unlikely After Bergdahl Deal with Taliban and Obama 'Doesn't Seem to
Understand That We Are Still at War' and Obama 'Believes He's Become Monarch Or
Emperor'], and McCain [Prisoner Swap Endangers US Soldiers] commented.

A Republican Strategist Helped Organize Bergdahl Critics: Richard
Grenell [a former Bush administration official who was hired, then
resigned, as Mitt Romney's foreign policy spokesman] played a key role
in publicizing critics of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the released prisoner of war;
The New York Times reported that 'Republican strategists' had arranged
an interview for them with men who had served in Afghanistan with
Bergdahl; the same soldiers also did interviews with The Weekly
Standard, the Daily Mail, the Wall Street Journal, and Fox News.

The Lefts Reaction to Bowe Bergdahls Release Is Outrageous. This reflects the complete
willingness of a certain subset of the media gives BHO a pass on, literally, everything.
Harry Reid Scolded 'Monday Morning Quarterbacks' in Congress over Taliban-Bergdahl
Deal, claiming Hypocritical GOP is Trying to Steal a POW Victory from Obama; he decried
the GOP for Using Gitmo Swap for Bergdahl 'to Score Political Points.' Otherwise, Senate
Dems had little to say about Bergdahl, although Hagel claimed critique was 'Unfair.'

We might also add that processes will be truncated, as President Obama described the exchange, and
these are hard choices, as Hillary Clinton put it, cleverly employing the title of her new book.

Michelle Malkin condemned BHO. The Bowe Bergdahl mess isn't just a story about one
deserter, but two. There's the muddle-headed lowlife who left his post and brothers
behind. And there's the corrupt commander-in-chief who has jeopardized more American
soldiers' lives to rescue Bergdahl by bowing to the Taliban, while snubbing the surviving
heroes and the eight dead American soldiers who lost their lives because of him.

Which is to say, war is tricky and we have no idea what were willing to do until the ball is in our court.

BHO miscalculated the reaction that ensued. Indeed, BHO bypassed the intel community
to pursue Bergdahl trade (and shelved ransom plan).

It is easier now to wish we had not invaded Iraq, given the absence of weapons of mass destruction. But
in the wake of 9/11, when the Western world was convinced that Saddam Hussein had WMD,
eliminating a destabilizing force in the region seemed to many a viable strategy.

Blame Bush. Classic.

It seemed so to then-Sen. Clinton, who voted for the resolution to use military force against Iraq, but not
to Barack Obama, then an Illinois state senator who didnt have to decide.

HILLARY obliquely trashed BHO after having sidestepped this issue. Overall, she will try
to walk a tightrope as 2016 approaches, claiming she was TOUGH ON FOREIGN POLICY,
BUT TRUE TO OBAMA. Knowing this context, note that The Daily Beast divulged the fact
that, in 2011 and 2012, Hillary Clinton's State Department negotiated directly with the
Taliban over a swap for Bowe Bergdahl, but Clinton was not a fan of the idea. Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton was personally and intensely involved in the debate over
swapping five Taliban commanders for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in 2011 and 2012. But she
had severe reservations about the potential deal, and was demanding stricter conditions
for the release of the prisoners than what President Obama settled for last week.

As president how time flies Obama has followed through on his campaign promises to end the
wars in Afghanistan and Iraq but not to close Guantanamo. Promises are sometimes harder to keep
when the facts are in your face. Obama also has increased drone warfare, eliminating enemies as well
as civilians and at least one U.S. citizen deemed to be a combatant without, shall we say, due process.

BHO is wrong to think wars can be won by remote-control. Indeed, his cynicism and
decekt prompts people such as RICK PERRY to wonder whether the BERGDAHL SWAP
was done 'TO TAKE THE VA OFF THE FRONT PAGE.'

So yes, he is the non-war president, except... and he follows the law and protects the Constitution,
unless ... and he wants to close Guantanamo, but encountered the same daunting obstacles that
George W. Bush did.

BHO continues to be Imperial [and passive-aggressive]. For example, he reportedly
wants to free another Guantanamo inmate, on heels of Bergdahl swap.

Yes, yes, Bush created the problem. Noted. To the point of this column, however, when Obama was
faced with whether to release prisoners in exchange for Bergdahl, he was forced to make an executive
decision. And yes, he sidestepped the law requiring 30days notification to Congress, but the laws
timetable was untenable, given the reportedly narrow window of opportunity. Whether the president
indeed had been discussing the possibility with Congress remains a matter of dispute.

There was no time-urgency. He had been made to look ill and the transfer was peaceful
and successful, illustrated by the Taliban video that showed the handover of
Bergdahl, the authenticity of which the Pentagon said it has no reason to doubt. It
showed Taliban members shaking hands with men from the Blackhawk chopper. [Note
there was minimal pat-down search of him as he walked to the helicopter and no search
of his bag for a suicide-bomb.]

Two secret videos allegedly showing rapid deterioration in Sgt. Bowe
Bergdahl's health allegedly persuaded reluctant military and intelligence
leaders to back the prisoner swap despite the fact that the more recent
one had been acquired six months ago; Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.),
head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said she heard no evidence
that Sgt. Bergdahl was in immediate medical danger that made it
necessary to act without consulting Congress.

BHO lied when he asserted that any substantive discussion had transpired regarding this
deal prior to its having been excuted on Saturday.

A top GOP aide confirmed to me that no such discussion took place before last weekends exchange and
that, when the idea was floated more than two years ago, it met with strong, bipartisan opposition from
congressional leaders.

Lawmakers bristled at Bergdahl trade two years ago; currently, OBAMA HAS
'ACQUIESCED TO THE DEMANDS OF THE TALIBAN.'

Obama has justified his decision on the basis of precedent other presidents have released prisoners
as wars wind down and on the principle that we dont leave our people behind.

Only one unpleasantry glistens, namely, that this swap was another manifestation of an
evil, Imperial Presidency, for BHO is the President Nixon Always Wanted To Be.

Equivalency is a fragile argument here. Bushs wars and Obamas drones are clearly not the same,
though you might find those in Afghanistan or Pakistan who would argue otherwise. And George
Washingtons release of British prisoners during the Revolutionary War cant be compared to freeing
Taliban warriors. Rather than returning home to reclaim their civilian lives, jihadists likely return even
more resolved to continue a war that ends only after everyone on the planet converts to Islam.

TIME MAGAZINE defended BHO. It claimed BHO DIDN'T 'NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS'
BUT OTHER PRESIDENTS DID; others on MSNBC claim he didnt deal with the Taliban,
arguing it was OK for him to deal solely with an intermediary [Qatar].

What is often similar, however, is the moment of truth when a president has to make his own call
because he thinks beyond any reasonable doubt that it is the right decision. History doesnt always
reward these decisions, but the titans of hindsight are usually compensated for style over content.

This columnist dramatizes to obfuscate. For example, the Traded Taliban leaders are
already free to roam Qatar.

It is possible that some of the current criticism is tied to partisan pride as well as the opening of old
wounds. Seeing the five bearded detainees was a vivid reminder of 9/11 and its chief perpetrator,
Osama bin Laden. The sight of Bergdahls father, bearded and speaking Arabic and Pashto as he invoked
Allah in the Rose Garden with the president, was both strange and creepy.

Criticism is based solely on how BHO just violated the newly-minted Obama Doctrine.
Congressional fallout over Bergdahl swap is based on the fact that BHO did stupid-shit.

Obama critics naturally saw the presidents mouth tip in a smile, though it could be interpreted as a
grimace. What was he to do, grab the microphone? Stare grimly at a father announcing the release of
his boy after five years in captivity?

BHOs defenders insult intelligence. Chris Hayes' conjured an insane Straw-Man
Argument on Bergdahl and the WH ACCUSED VETS OF 'SWIFT BOATING BERGDAHL.'

There is nothing trivial about these events, but the questions raised are, nonetheless, Homeland-ishly
intriguing: Did Bob Bergdahl convert to Islam? Did his son? Did Bowe Bergdahl abandon his post, as
fellow soldiers claim? Is he a traitor?

Senators feel Bergdahl Promotion Should Wait Until Disappearance Questions Answered.
as one Platoon Member said Bergdahl Should Face Court Martial; although they Were
Told 'To Keep Quiet,' his Fellow Soldiers Continue to Detail Bergdahl's Betrayal and
Desertion and 3 More Members Of Bergdahl's Platoon Speak Out. Reportedly, he
Wanted to Renounce Citizenship, prompting emergence of anguish [MY SON DIED
'LOOKING FOR A TRAITOR?']. Apparently, Afghan villagers said he deliberately headed
for Taliban strongholds and a local district intelligence director thought he had been
high after smoking hashish. A Sergeant confirmed he had been seeking-out Afghan
Villagers; reportedly, he had previously been AWOL, and CNN reported intercepted radio
chatter indicated Bergdahl sought contact with Taliban. Thus, a Team Leader suggested
there is 'A lot more to story than soldier walking away.' {James Rosen reported he may
have collaborated with the Taliban (helping them in their bomb-building and ambushes)
and Chambliss said that the CIAs Classified File Didn't Mention Bergdahl's Desertion
Note that he had heard indeed existed.}

Until the Army provides answers, well have to make do with speculation. Meanwhile, the only question
that required an immediate response was, did the United States want Bergdahl back and what were we
willing to trade?

The key-question is whether this deal was faulty. A RANKING DEM claims it set a
'Dangerous Precedent That Puts All Americans At Risk.'

This was indeed a hard choice and the answer had to be yes.

This was an easy-choice, and the answer should have been no.
