Fox News host Bill O’Reilly on Wednesday night said that the Army’s decision to charge Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl with desertion was an “acute embarrassment for President Obama.”
O’Reilly, who questioned the prisoner swap that brought Bergdahl back to the U.S. after he was held by the Taliban for five years, warned viewers that the five Taliban members released will soon be “free to return to the Afghan battlefield and free to kill Americans if they can.”
“From the beginning, many Americans thought the deal was bad for the country, but the president and his acolytes disagreed,” O’Reilly said.
“If you are a supporter of administration, what do you say now? What do you say?” he asked. “It is long past time for Americans to stop the ideological nonsense and see things for what they really are.”
As the Washington Post noted, O’Reilly reported in January that the Army would charge Bergdahl with desertion, though the Army denied the report at the time.

What do I say now? The same thing I said then: let him be tried in a military court HERE and not have his fate determined by terrorists abroad. It appears that’s exactly what happened, and now he must face the consequences of his actions. What’s so difficult to understand about that?
I will ask Bill, and Rick Perry and others, “What do you say now?” when Cameron Todd Willingham is (as seems quite likely) determined to be innocent of the crime for which he was executed.
Large white male propagandist specializing in the use of intimidation and serial lying uses media bully pulpit to conflate issues that do not flow logically into each other with political bullcrap and so appear somehow aggriegrieved and self-righteous over totally invented issue.
I say, "WE DO NOT LEAVE OUR SOLDIERS BEHIND, REGARDLESS!"
I guess O’Reilly just can’t help being an ignorant jackass blowhard.
I’d say he has coming to him what he deserves if the story is true.
ON the other hand, why are you, a bloviating slob, even questioning this story when most of us know if it was you over there, you would be crying and calling for a limo to get you out of there on the first day after taking some pictures to prove you are a hero who deserves a medal of honor.
Funny thought though, billo in a military uniform. LIke that would have ever happened.
