It should come as no surprise to anyone, that when questioned by the Fox News reporter, that I’m sure snuck into the News Pool from the deep end of the pool and swam to the shallow end of the liberal media, that Jennifer Psaki, State Department Spokesman didn’t want to waste much time comparing “POW Hero” SGT Bergdahl to currently imprisoned and beaten Marine SGT Tahmooressi.

 

 Video can be seen here, with a transcript below:

Fox News Q: Just a quick follow up on Matt's question. You mentioned because Sergeant Bergdahl is a member of the military you went after him. If you have a Marine reservist in Mexico, why can't you do a similar swap for him?

 MS. PSAKI: I understand the desire to make comparisons, but we wouldn't compare them.

This is -- it was a Marine [sic] who was taken while in combat, and you're talking about a situation of an individual who the Mexican authorities are accusing of violating the law.

Fox News Q: But I'm sure we have five cartel members or somebody in jail we could swap in exchange for this Marine. Would that be a good -- MS. PSAKI: Thank you for your advice, Lucas (sp), but every situation is different. Do you have another question?

 

 

What’s infuriating is we all understand that Obama takes care of his own “Muslim Brotherhood,” and has no qualms with us knowing that he’ll “Stand down” and leave a man behind, to fend for himself, when the going gets hot.  What of this, “Sacred” Obligation to bring all our men back from war? For starters, what about our POWs from Vietnam, Mr. Obama, or is that not “your war” so that’s not your problem? We won’t even get into the MIAs from the Korean War.
