The Saga of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and His Father Robert Bergdahl Continues, 2 June 2014: The Administration's Inch Has Robert Bergdahl Demand the Whole Nine Yards

THE SAGA CONTINUES: THE POO HAS HIT THE FAN!

As this story is unfolding like a very bad, very real soap opera, it will be pointless for me to simply write my obligatory ode to War and Peace by Russian literary giant Leo Tolstoy daily. However, there will still be my commentary, along with other key political figures analyses of this very serious breach of our national security by not only the president, but Bob Bergdahl through his son, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, too. It appears that the two very lengthy but informative blogs from last summer connecting stories of the Islamic end of days to Barack Obama are at the very least proving to be startling coincidences; I do not wish to sound as if I am Bob Jones serving to each one of my loyal readers whom I appreciate dearly a laced glass of Kool-Aid after we all have taken a flight down to Guyana. For starters, I do not particularly fancy the taste of cyanide even though it was a very important line in the lyrics of AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds." Secondly, that very peculiar rascal, Rev. Jim Jones, was a A-1 nut boy to consider celebrating the rapture means killing all of your congregation inside your own settlement of Jonestown. Third, while I do not disagree at all with what the late former New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison uncovered during his investigation into the JFK assassination, I am not yet ready to engage in an assault on the White House or apparently the Taliban and other Islamic extremists until we know that definitely there is, in fact, more than meets the eye. As we are now into the third day of this very disturbing event, I am paying very close attention regarding what transpires and what we may learn through political intrigue and theory, as well of course through the annals of history, to analyze and interpret each very crucial detail. That does not mean, however, we should not engage in this activity as time elapses so that we may be prepared to always remain free.

I want to first call attention to what I already knew, but not in terms of a direct translation. According to former Florida congressman Allen West, himself a veteran, what Bob Bergdahl said in Arabic has enormous significance; it is the first detail to why we understand this incident is so enormously disturbing despite the means by which his was retrieved: the swap of five prisoners from the Taliban inside of Guantanamo Bay for Bowe, who is widely despise by those within the military as a traitor who deserted his unit and cost several troops' lives attempting to locate him. I will paste the words Rep. West from his website Allen B. West wrote below which he acquired from a lady named Claire Lopez, a former CIA operative: 

Clare Lopez is a former CIA operations officer, a strategic policy and intelligence expert with a focus on Middle East, national defense, WMD, and counterterrorism issues, and a friend of mine.

She emailed me this morning a very poignant analysis that only someone knowing language and Islam could ascertain. She wrote:

“What none of these media is reporting is that the father’s (SGT Bowe Bergdahl’s father Bob) first words at the WH were in Arabic – those words were “bism allah alrahman alraheem” – which means “in the name of Allah the most gracious and most merciful” – these are the opening words of every chapter of the Qur’an except one (the chapter of the sword – the 9th) – by uttering these words on the grounds of the WH, Bergdahl (the father) sanctified the WH and claimed it for Islam. There is no question but POTUS knows this.”

Folks, there is a lot to this whole episode — like Benghazi — that we may never know. And this is not conspiracy theory, it is truth based upon Arabic and Islamic dogma and tradition.

And here’s the video if you have any questions.

And there you go. We each knew well that he was speaking in Arabic, that there was a reason he truly decided to speak in Arabic as opposed to his son's native English. Also, this was not the language spoken by native Afghani civilians where Bowe was held captive; that language is Pashto, which I will provide for each of you below information of its origins courtesy of Afghan Network:

PASHTO 8,000,000 in Afghanistan (1989), 50% of the population; East, south, and southwest. Dialects: GHILZAI, DURRANI. Since the early 1930's the Afghan government has been exerting considerable effort to standardize and publicize the language. One of the two official languages taught in schools and used everywhere around the country. The people are called 'Pukhtoon' in the north and 'Pushtoon' in the south. The Ghilzai speakers are nomadic and 24% of the national population. The Durrani are urban people, 20%, live in permanent settlements. Clans are: Mohmand, Ghilzai, Durrani, Yusufzai, Afridi, Kandahari (Qandahari), Waziri, Chinwari (Shinwari), Mangal, Wenetsi. Kandahari is the standard dialect, in Kandahar, a major city. National language. Mainly Hanafi Sunni Muslim. (More info on Pashtuns)

Pashtuns Of Afghanistan

The PATHAN (Pashtun) people form the dominant ethnic and linguistic community, accounting for just over half the population. Tribally organized, the Pathan are concentrated in the east and the south. As they gained control over the rest of the country in the 19th century, however, many of them settled in other areas too. The Pashtuns mostly speak Pashtu (although some residing in Kabul and other urban areas speak Dari) and are generally Sunni Muslims. They are divided into tribal and sub-tribal groups to which they remain loyal. These tribal divisions have been the source of conflict among Pashtuns throughout their history. Even today, the Pashtun parties are divided along tribal lines. The majority of Pashtuns make their living off of animal husbandry and agriculture as well as some trade. In Afghanistan, Pashtuns have traditionally resided in a large semi-circular area following the Afghan border form north of the Darya-e-Morgab east and southward to just north of the 35' latitude. Enclaves of Pashtuns live scattered among other ethnic groups in much of the rest of the country, especially in the northern regions and in the western interior due to the resettlement policies of Amir Abdul Rahman Khan, who ruled Afghanistan from 1880 to 1901.

From its founding in 1747 by Ahmad Shah Durrani, Afghanistan has traditionally been dominated by the Pashtuns, who before 1978 constituted a 51% minority in the country. However, as a result of the 1979 Soviet invasion the population distribution in Afghanistan has changed. About 85% of the 6.2 million Afghan refugees who fled to Iran and Pakistan and around the World due to the Russian invasion and the war that followed it are Pashtuns. This, accordingly, lowered the percentage of Pashtuns inside Afghanistan temporarily and raised the percentages of the country's other ethnic groups. By the mid-1990s many of the refugees returned restoring the Pashtuns to their status of the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan constituting about 45% of the population.

The Soviet invasion of December 1979 has been the major determining factor in Afghanistan's ethnic relations since that point in time. From that time Until mid-1991 the various factions of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan, all dominated by Pashtuns, controlled the country's government. All other factions either opposed or aligned themselves with the PDPA (with most in the opposition), including several Pashtun factions. It is not within the scope of this chronology to document the constant shifts in alliances between various factions, both between the opposition and government camps and within them. However, it should be noted that most of the factions were ethnically homogeneous and were engaging in a constant shifting of alliances worthy of traditional balance of power theory and continue to do so today. The Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989 has only affected the power relations among the country's various factions but has not changed the fact that they are in constant competition with each other.

The Dari-speaking TAJIK are the second-largest community, accounting for approximately 25% of the population. They are strongly identified with sedentary farming and town life, mostly in the fertile eastern valleys north and south of the Hindu Kush. Some 11% of the population are Turkic, mostly UZBEK and TURKMEN, who live in the northern plains as farmers and herders. The central mountains yield a meager living to some 1.1 million HAZARAS, a Mongoloid people who mostly speak Persian. There are many smaller communities, the most important of which are the NURISTANIS of the high mountains of the east and the BALUCH of the desert south.

You each now understand why it is significant that Mr. Bergdahl spoke in Arabic and not Pashto. In fact, there is no region of Afghanistan where a significant population of Arab-speaking peoples reside; the nation does not even border an Arab state, as Iran is Persian and speaks Farsi, nor do the people of Pakistan. When the media reported this phrase, they mentioned from my recollection how he told his son he is his father; there was no mention within my reading unless my notoriously-poor memory does not recollect about any Arabic used nor what it meant. According to The New York Daily News, the only words uttered in a foreign language was in fact the Pashto phrase for "I'm your father":

But there is a long recovery ahead. Bob Bergdahl said his son is “having trouble speaking English.”

“The complicated nature of this recovery will really never be comprehended,” he said.

Sporting a bushy beard that he grew in solidarity with his missing son, the elder Bergdahl made some of his remarks in the Pashto language.

“I’m your father, Bowe,” he said.

His son somehow lost most of his command of the English language in Taliban captivity. To this point, I have yet to procure information as to whether Sen. John McCain did so himself while in captivity for five and a half years in North Vietnam.

The true smoking gun which was very rarely mentioned over the past several years was Sgt. Bergdahl's admission of ex-patriotism. Within the same article is an account of his correspondences with Bob:

In one of his final emails to his parents, Bergdahl outlined his complaints about the military and expressed his disgust over how the war was being waged.

“I am ashamed to be an American. And the title of U.S. soldier is just the lie of fools,” he wrote in the June 27 email. “I am sorry for everything. The horror that is America is disgusting.”

If Bergdahl did walk away from his unit, he could be charged with being absent without leave or desertion.

A senior U.S. official told The Associated Press on Saturday that the Army would make the decision on any charges, but the feeling at the moment was that he had suffered enough in his ordeal.

Bergdahl’s release near the Pakistan border occurred without any violence. Multiple helicopters and surveillance aircraft backed up the special forces that made the handoff.

In a statement on the Taliban website, the group announced the exchange with “great happiness and joy.”

We see what Sgt. Bergdahl stated; he as same as told his parents that he had become an ex-patriot. The response from the Taliban was most peculiar: the exchange was received with "great happiness and joy." Having followed national and geopolitical systems in varying degrees since I was 19 and a freshman in college, I know well that I have never listened to nor read such a reaction as to from Islamic extremists; I have only known threats to kill all American infidels. As Obama was declared to be "the promised warrior" by the Egyptian media in 2009 as he proclaimed his policies to lean almost solely in favor of the Arab League and the Palestinian Authority over Israel, this is but one question I now have as to the purpose behind this act of negotiating with the Taliban.

As this very serious state of affairs is the latest in the Obama soap opera carousel of scandals, I would not dare leave you, my loyal and faithful readers, deprived of more tweeted fodder from Robert Bergdahl:
