From Fox News comes a report that the Army just appointed a two-star general to 'investigate' the Bergdahl affair. In itself, that means what I predicted all along, that the Obama administration was in a pickle trying to figure out how to whitewash Bergdahl's desertion. This investigation, favored by the Susan Rice who publicly described Bergdahl as a hero, is the solution you're expected to swallow hook, line, and sinker.
Appearing with Judge Jeanine Pirro was retired Col. Hunt who had a sober read on the situation, as does everyone else who has dutifully served in the military. Bergdahl's desertion is a done deal, a fact. There is no glossing over this, no need for investigation. As Col. Hunt said, if you walk away from your post and don't come back within 30 days, you're a deserter. It's black and white. It's impossible to come up with any kind of other scenario without saying something to the effect that aliens took control of his mind and body and walked him off.
Essentially, this is what the announced investigation will conclude. The aliens won't be from outer space. They will come from the volumes of real and fantasized pseudo-scientific psychological jargon you can find in any college library.
Uh, okay then. Aliens embedded themselves into Bergdahl's mind and whisked him away. That's all there is to it. Frankly, I don't give a much of a damn what happens to Bergdahl, but I do care that the administration coverups of nearly everything are criminal and dangerous to America.

Obama Failure to Strike Status of Forces Agreements with Malaki Leads to Iraq Chaos
You can't blame Bush any more, Obama. Even your closest advisors say that the Iraq you "inherited" was in a state of calm that had not been witnessed before the time of Saddam Hussein. You felt that way yourself, apparently, because you decided to immediately withdraw U.S. Troops entirely from the region without even leaving a small residual force in place. Against all advice and opposition, you surrendered Iraq to chaos.
It's difficult to consider the impact of the lack of leadership you displayed in Iraq. To announce a time line for U.S. withdrawal was perhaps the worst decision, a political decision designed to appease your pacifist left-liberal supporters. Of course, ISIS would take the opportunity to plan strategy, organize, arm, and wait for the U.S. withdrawal so it could effect an assault on Mosul, Tikrit, and other key Iraqi cities.
If there is any good news, it would be the surge of the Peshmerga Kurd troops into Kirkut, their historical center. You can understand that they have as much a right to claim that, especially with the government troops fleeing it, as the Russians had to claim Crimea.
It's chaos, and President Obama has no answer for it. The answer should have been ready and waiting before you announced a pullout timetable. Now there are no operatives or troops on the ground and we are reduced to getting vital information from news outlets which are as clueless and opinionated as you are.
Fortunately, CNN --your unofficial dispatch offices-- will trumpet that you are considering alternatives. And considering alternatives. And considerating alternatives. And consulting, And studying. All of this is what you've done with Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan as you destabilized these countries and others.

‘No’ Didn’t Mean ‘No” in Bergdahl Tradeoff - Yahoo Voices - voices.yahoo.com
No" means "no" except when you're talking to the Obama administration about prisoner exchange-when "no" could mean anything at all. Even "yes."
Press Secretary Jay Carney was quoted in a June 21, 2013 news briefing saying that the Obama administration would make no decision on trading Guantanamo detainees for absconded American soldier Bowe Bergdahl "without consulting with Congress and without doing so in accordance with U.S. law."
Then suddenly as a bolt from the sky, President Obama suddenly appeared, arm in arm at the White House with the mother of the absconding soldier and the bearded dad spouting prayers of thanks to the Taliban in Arabic and Pashto, to say that Bowe Bergdahl had been freed.
