Shorter Hagel: deal could’ve been worse. “They wanted all the Taliban detainees at one point. And we said no”

Hagel: We've always supported a reconciliation between the Afghan government and the Taliban. We have?

Now that there is some revisionist history of the highest order!!  lol

This hearing is a perfect example of why GOP has electoral trouble. They can’t even draw contrasts when the president has done THIS?

Hagel: 'I have seen no evidence that directly links any American combat death to the rescue or finding or search for Sgt. Bergdahl.'



I guess getting killed looking for Bergdahl doesn't count

Hagel: "He was not a hostage, he was a prisoner of war." But held not by a government but Haqqani network, which USG designated terrorists?

Hagel using word 'direct' a lot. Taliban 5 had no 'direct' ties to 'direct' attacks on US; no 'direct' link btwn US deaths & Bergdahl search

Hagel says we didn't negotiate w/terrorists b/c while Haqqanis held #Bergdahl, we negotiated w/Qataris, who represented Taliban.

Huh?  I guess it all depends on what "is" is.  If you negotiate with someone who represents a terrorist, then you are negotiating with a terrorist.

Hagel admits they didn't make an assessment about how many Americans would need to be put at risks to recapture the released terrorists.

Hagel admits they didn't even consider dangers of having to recapture the Taliban. Isn't that one of the requirements for release?




Byron York ‏@ByronYork 34s

Hagel, again: 'I have no direct evidence' US lives were lost in Bergdahl search.

No surprise here Democrats, on this committee and as a whole, seem to support Obama even against standing law

Hagel says he doesn't know if we've made other POW trades with the Taliban. That's not something you'd expect the SecDef to know, right?

Finally a decent question'


Shannon Bream ‏@ShannonBream 44s

Miller to Hagel: You keep saying we can't get the facts until Bergdahl returns home. Can't you go to Landstuhl?

Sure, Chuck, get indignant now. It’s your right. The people have no standing in Obama’s America. We’re sorry to have questioned you.

Who cares? Even indirect - but a consequence thereof - is enough of a connection for most rational people, isn't it?
