Gold will be slammed. Silver will be slammed. The Stock Market will be pumped up.
Same as it was last week.
"Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) said Wednesday that sources have told him the U.S. military unsuccessfully tried to pay a ransom for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, despite repeated denials.
In a Nov. 5 letter to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, Hunter wrote “it has been brought to my attention that a payment was made to an Afghan intermediary who ‘disappeared’ with the money and failed to facilitate Bergdahl’s release in return.”
Hunter said “according to sources” that the payment was made between January and February 2014 through Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), whose activities are mostly classified.
Hunter said he recognized the “reluctance to describe the payment as a ransom” and that the allegations of an unsuccessful payment is supported by JSOC’s pursuit of at least two lines of effort to get Bergdahl back — through a military rescue operation and payment to his suspected captors and terrorist group the Haqqani Network.
Hunter did not identify his sources."

So to summarize, they tried to overpay for a fucking deserter (Bergdahl), to someone who promptly disappeared around the corner...so then the thing to do was...release four others suspected of thousands of "war crimes" and put them on a flight to Qatar.
Smart Power!
Duncan Hunter is a pusillanimous pissmeyer.
I told my friends at the Lakeside Rodeo Parade that I wanted to shake the hand of the man that raised my taxes.
He was shaking everyone's hand but when he got to us he gave us a ten foot berth.
The next day I was going into Albertson's for some Groceries. He was with his pastor at the local Presbyterian Church and was approaching the door. He saw me and turned tail so quick it'd make your head swing.
I laughed my ass off.
He is a worm, dude. What a fuckin' chickenshit.
Endeavor to persevere...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsL6mKxtOlQ
