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.
I wonder………….there was $6 million came up missing during the Clinton State tenure. Coincidence or did she pay the ransom? Boy I get curiouser and curiouser every day. Thank you Mr. North..someone needs to check into this.
What is the difference between what President Obama did and jail breaking five murdering terrorists out of prison to return to the battlefield and kill more Americans? NOTHING!
more proof of what I posted earlier.
WTH?????? $5-6 MILLION Paid to WHO for this POS????????
where did mr. north information come from or is it just speculation on his part? i for one will wait until all the facts are in rather than relying on here say and rumors.
Impeach
So ransom paid & 5 terrorist is just A bonus??
What a friggin sham, Obama is nuts or has lost his mind giving 6 million dollars to the Taliban. He has to go.
One more blow to this country
How cute that Former Lt. Col is an Obama Supporter and refuses to admit that Obama committed Treason by paying the ransom himself with the exchange of 5 leaders of a Terrorist Organization for a Deserter.
