A free, lifetime suppy of ketchup.
[please note: ketchup is slightly older than than the 'best by' date]
Hey btw, is it me, or was the only guy that was ever exchanged for 5 terrorists... jewish? Bergdahl? Is it me or...
Its almost like a bunch of inbreeding tribal reptillians control the world or something... HMMM, I think I got it... nope, nothing.
A burnt out green light bulb and a get-out-of-jail-free card (from Monopoly).
A promise never to return them would be enough.
actually he isn't jewish. he comes from a christian family, although idk about the mom. name is german. father became a muslim... weird shit in general. Why they traded for him? IDK, my normal sources I've either forgotten or simply dont find the scoop, anyone else know?
I know a government troll looking to entrap people when I see them. Good luck on ZH.
He's been here for ten days. Not that that means anything, but we, for one, are not looking into that all seeing eye.
Seams suspicious to me. EOB basement cubicle dweller?
Bergdahl is just a distraction. All the medias are focusing on him while the real problem is why did Obama free 5 Taliban comanders? What are these 5 Talibans going to do now. I find it strange that there was an assassination attempt against Abdhula (the front runner in Afghan election) just a few days after the release of those 5 Talibans. You guys should stop talking about Bergdahl. He means nothing. He is just a distraction. It's the other side of the deal that we should focus on. Why Obozo did offered to free these 5 Taliban at this precise point in time when Afghanistan in having an election and Karzai refuses to sign an extension for the military presence of the USSA?
Ding ding ding!
Winner winner, chicken dinner!
Obama said he saw an opportunity and seized it. At some point it will come out that he created the opportunity and used it. One American operative who deserted and ran to the enemy for 5 top Taliban Generals.
Try a little reading and research, Harbanger, instead of your Captain Obvious hand jobs and easy target practice that that shitbag Obama presents.
“These people need help, yet what they get is the most conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid, that they have no idea how to live. We don’t even care when we hear each other talk about running their children down in the dirt streets with our armored trucks.… We make fun of them in front of their faces, and laugh at them for not understanding we are insulting them.” -- Sgt Bergdahl
Thank you for sharing. I'm not surprised you would side with the traitor and even quote him.
Do you think the 6 people who died searching for Bergdall had it coming?
You demonstrate a remarkable lack of ability to do your own thinking.
"Have you stopped beating your wife?"
Child. They pay good money for the 'Coke or Pepsi?' talk at the networks.
You're a useful idiot of the highest order. At first I thought you were a leftist psyop but now Im convinced you're just a moron.
Keep talking, I'll feed ya the rope.
I hate to tell you dude, but he's right. I saw some of the crap they were doing first hand.
The use of moral indignation to excuse fucking anyone we choose. No one has been more brutal to the Afghan people that the Taliban. We should not be there but there is no excuse for Bergdahl or Obama. This shit is only going to get worse. A troop draw down while we are invigorating our enemy. Hopefully no one you care about is left to die there for political expediency. This is stupid on so many levels, maybe to stupid to be stupid.
Nice avatar btw.
FYI if his father is muslim, he doesn't come from a Christian family.
Fished in
John F'n Kerry and Obozo together aren't worth a bucket of warm spit.
No, its just you. He is (or was) raised a Presbyterian. If you listened to his dad's ramblings in the Rose Garden there's no telling what he is now.
Yea I just realized that. Kinda pissed about that, not often that im wrong. He is now Muslim or something. Personally I pick and choose what makes sense from all the books.
"Yea I just realized that. Kinda pissed about that, not often that im wrong."
Oh, stop underestimating yourself. Self deception is not a virtue.
How do you define "not often?"
It's ewe.
One theory says that something in the gene pool makes them particularly suitable for the host-symbiont interface. One only needs to look at recent photos of Pelosi or Hilary to see why that interface is so vital for symbiont stability.
The only thing that would come our way would be useless treasuries..... From fucking Belgium....Thanks John you fucking dipshit!!!!!!!!!I hear he may win the triple crown beating California Chrome by a chin...
Its not a hostage swap it's a corporate transfer.
One plug nickel should be more than enough.
"What can we get for John Kerry?"
A bag of goat shit is all he's worth--if that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx7D8p-AoEs
Rather insulting to goat shit, isn't it?
""What can we get for John Kerry?"
A bag of goat shit is all he's worth--if that."
Let's not get greedy here.
A bag of goatshit is good manure don't waste it like this. Who is Khon Jerry?
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7wqWHr5oCrM&feature=kp
C'mon, that's like asking what you can get for a heap of garbage.
The proper question:
"What will you charge us to haul this shit away?"
Beirut. Was it 900 days?
That was a hostage.
Those were journalists and I recall feeling terrific about their release.
Terry McCaulife?
Probably wrong name...long time ago.
Bo was not a hostage.
Nice try tho.
The Gitmo hostages have been detained a lot more than 900 days and I'm sure their families are relieved they have been released.
Oh yeah, their wiveseses are overjoyed!
Brian Keenan from Belfast, and
John McCarthy from * UK, and
Terry Waite a lay preacher I think from the Anglican church was taken hostage when he went to try and negotiate their release.
* He had a girlfriend Jill something that the press tried to make into a movie-type love story in their usual stoopid way.
One can of Dapper Dan hair gel...
Fuck Kerry, he was bleeding Heinz ketchup down his asshole. Fucking Mr. Ed Stooge.
John Kerry Saves $500,000 By Docking 76-Foot Luxury Yacht Out Of State
John Kerry, I live a good life without fucking people over. Has greed and unlimited power got flushed down common sense toilet? You are not a role model. Think about that.
You are not a role model!
Kerry or Hillary...Her new book reveals her true neo-con leanings.
Obama now caught between a rock and a hard place on foreign policy.
Putin's gambit seems to be paying off as his Us strategy in ME is now causing open bickering in the Dem camp between hardliners and soft shoe shufflers who talk big but act otherwise.
As the Repugs are divided in tea party squabbling it seems the DC ship is full of moonshining teetotalers who want prohibition for the sheeple and booze guzzling in private Great Gatsby binges reserved for the 1%.
Can't get more head up rear end than that.
The MIC and the FED, two faces of the same debased coin called petrodollar hegemony.
All eggs in the sanctuarised Saud oil basket; the one that breeds Jihad and stinks of black gold. And Putin knows that. His chessgame goes much further down that road of disjointing the oil monarchy sanctuary which the Obama strategy is now perceived as abandoning.
Past hubris is a bitch when it leads to blind alleys.
Great rant. we are 10 steps ahead. Relax and watch the fireworks.
- There were Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq
- Anna Nichol married for love
- Hillery is a democrat
- Obama is a democrat
- John Kerry never planned to go into politics when he joined the military, got scratched, and set up his debut in congress
- There were no conspiracies to assassinate JFK, MLK, or Bobbie Kennedy
- Building 7 just fell down in it's footprint due to some burning debris that fell on the roof
Here is a thought for you falak. Ms. Clinton could fit the definition of a "terrorist" to thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of people outside of the US.
Yes, but the homegrown variety of freedom fighter (to be identified at a later date) is now their principal concern. Terrorist is such an amorphous and malleable term that it can and will be applied to anyone whose views are even slightly politically inconvenient here. They're calling it self-radicalization and are extremely concerned. We are approaching the point where we might be judged, not only on our actions, but on our criminal opinions. Isn't that nice? The Nazis used the Jews as a convenient scapegoat on which to focus the people's legitimate discontent. When times get tough, its important to find a group on which to cast blame to deflect it from the state itself and bind the people together in hatred of a common enemy. If an outside source cannot be manufactured or is out of reach, an internal one that we must root out by making sacrifices and working together will serve just as well.
Obama has always been a puppet of the Neo-Con Washington power elites. His hands are tied by these elements in the CIA, NSA, State Department and Pentagon. As president, any American is just a care taker, seat filler, mouth piece and tool for these elites. On top of them are the financial elites, market makers and corporate rulers. Obama was hand picked through the Democratic Leadership Council. This council is a blend of corporate powers and neo-con radicals, they must approve any major democratic candidate. Obama was a puppet from days one. Now a killer in chief, he is fitting in to his role as world police chief. The Ukraine crisis was manufactured in the State Department, White House, Pentagon and CIA headquarters. Obama is just a Black Bush.
Found odd link on wikipedia for Democratic Leadership Council to project for the new american century. Seems odd to me, but all kinds of people jump in bed together in USA.
"...The DLC gave strong support for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Prior to the war, Will Marshall co-signed a letter to President Bush from the Project for the New American Century endorsing military action against Saddam Hussein. During the 2004 Primary campaign the DLC attacked/dismissed critics of the Iraq invasion ..... they keep, distancing themselves from the pacifist and anti-American fringe."[15]

Well not so Odd. Clearly DLC & Republicans agreed to make Obama President since he was so young, inexperienced, had agreed to play ball, and he could be both controlled and take the blame for lots of stuff.
PNAC full of evil fuckers specail place in hell reserved for them
How much you wanna bet this guy and his family pop up in the news again?
And again?

Who could afford Kerry? Costs too much in drugs to make it worth keeping him alive..
How bout Lindsey Graham? Just have to throw him a young boy now and then.
"Who could afford Kerry?"
I didn't realize oats went up in price that much.
Not much. He ain't worth two shits much less two cents.
"What can we get for John Kerry?"
A bagel--If you know what I mean?!
I say let the glue factory determine Kerry's worth
The American president reportedly refused to dine with Putin, who was being hosted by France’s president Francois Hollande as part of the D-Day commemoration.
http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/06/eric-margolis/the-truth-about-wwii/
Yep, guy & congress would totally screw us and act like it isn't neo-cons or bankers doing it.
Well it would be kinda embarrassing to have to explain all the lies to someone who wasn't just going to say yes sir!
now from france we see OB fawning in front of Putin as if he were some sports hero
I'd give ya 5 magic beans for him. And anybody believes that, I've got some ocean-front property in Kansas I'd like to sell you !
wtf-ever
obama only negotiates with terrorists
Its amazing, these American people. They are willing to sell out those who are ready to sacrifice their lives for others for the most petty of things.
Obama thought he saw an opportunity to rehab his image after the VA scandal, and decided to deal with the very people they went to war against.
Amazing, selfish, petty, colossal stupidity.
Can you imagine Eisenhower cutting a deal with Hitler for something equally as petty and self serving? And this Obama guy got the majority vote in the USA?
Obama keeps trying but everything he touches turns to dust, VA scandal, Syria, Ukraine. However nothing turns to disaster when he is playing golf, so perhaps that is where he should be concentrating his efforts, trying to get that handicap down.
I agree. Keeping him on the golf courses and away from washington, even if it would cost billions of dollars would be far less expensive and embarrasing for the americans. That and take his blackberry away too.
The levels of ineptitude, incompetence, corruption and massive lies have become so commonplace among governments that it's now the norm. Tolerance of this by citizens has risen and nobody outside of government raises hell about it nor demands action to hold the perps to account for fear of their career and even their life.
We are witnessing the gradual slide into an abyss where the curtain is drawn open and we can see government for what it really is: an organised crime syndicate.
I am thinking several million buks if they keep him............... nothing if they want us to take him back.......
They could come back for more every several weeks.....
JUST KEEP THE SOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They must have some pretty amazing drugs in the teleprompter.
Take Barry as hostage and you can keep it.
Throw in "Mike," the Tranny.
(ring*ring)
Bath House: "Hello?"
Taliban: "We have captured Lurch! He is our hostage, Infidels!"
BH: "And.....what exactly does this have to do with me?"
An flaming faggot of a President, openly releasing Taliban comnaders into the wild.
The hubris of this asshole knows no bounds.
AM disappointed, that Hussein Kenya Obanana cannot be reelected at least for another 10 years.
For us, 199 countries around the world, it is a very good life, when you become weaker, /cannot oppress us so much/ and elect a moron.
