Former U.S. Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North stated recently that Bergdahl was not a “prisoner of war” and was actually being held “hostage” by the Haqqanis, a terrorist group separate from the Taliban and associated with al Qaeda – and that a ransom was actually paid for him.
“Someone paid a ransom,” he said. “Whether the Qataries paid it, or some big oil sheik, or somebody used our petrodollars, but there was a ransom paid in cash for each one of them, my guess somewhere in the round numbers of $5 or 6 million to get Bergdahl freed. I know that the offer that was on the table before was close to a million.”
North goes on to state that this sets a dangerous precedent and places a price tag on every American’s head – exposing anyone who travels outside the US to the threat of kidnapping.
Here we have a man who was involved in a known scandal that armed Iran hoping to secure hostages and also was involved with an administration that originally armed and trained the Taliban. I’m not saying Obama is anymore innocent than North, but with all that said, should anyone be listening to this criminal?
Is truth and action funded by the koch brothers? Just curious because it explain the interview with Oliver North.

Jeanne if you read all my comments here then you’d realize that I see no difference in the 2 forms of fascism that we’re offered in this country. After all fascism and corporatism are the same things. But you smart folks should already know that.
Obama should be arrested for embezzlement
Bernard Tracy uses the word liberal the same way that liberals use the word racist.
