I probably shouldn't say this
At
the risk of putting yet another target on my back, I want to let you in
on a little family business. While I don't travel as much as I used to,
I have been in some tenuous situations, especially in Africa. My wife
and I have a longstanding agreement between us--that if I ever were
taken hostage or in a situation where the American government had to
choose whether to use deadly force, negotiate a bad deal for my release
or be held hostage because of me, by all means use deadly force and I
will fend for myself. I never wanted the United States to compromise its
principles because of me. No negotiations with terrorists or
kidnappers. It's this or that. I have held this view since the Iran
hostage situation.
Having
said that, the parents of Bowe Bergdahl must be elated. Their son,
irrespective of what state of emotion and physicality he's in, is home.
For a parent, nothing can replace the relief and love that this young
man will experience from his family as he returns and is mainstreamed
back into society. It is perplexing that they claim to be Christian, yet
praised Allah at the White House for the return of their son. It all
seemed to be too "pat" for a president with Islamic sympathies and a
soldier whose parents seemed confused on their citizenship as Americans
and in the kingdom of God. The Bergdahls are the smokescreen.
The
occupant of the Oval Office broke longstanding policy and negotiated
with Islamic terrorists. He gave up five of the most dangerous Taliban
Commanders in US custody. They were key relationship builders between
the Taliban, al Qaeda, and Iran. He likely broke the law. He sends a
signal that the US will give in to terrorists who kidnap soldiers and
citizens. It makes me wonder, and it should beg the question: Was there
an alternative motive? This president is sympathetic to Islamic causes
and has been cozy with the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies since his
first foreign policy speech. A small price to pay to aid and comfort the
enemy and get a praise report for Allah at the White House.
The
spin doctors are doing their jobs now. All sorts of bad things are
being reported about Bergdahl. That is immaterial. This president made a
deal with terrorists. It is really nothing new. He made a deal with
terrorists in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and even Syria. He works
against freedom and what is right. Psalm 37:12 says, "The wicked plots
against the just, and gnashes upon him with his teeth." National
Security Advisor, the infamous Susan Rice of the Benghazi catastrophe,
said, "Sergeant Bergdahl wasn't simply a hostage; he was an American
prisoner of war captured on the battlefield." If we are indeed at war
with the Taliban and its accomplices, this president should be tried for
treason.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
