Pentagon loses track of $500 million in weapons, equipment given to Yemen ............................................................................................................................................ washingtonpost.com The Pentagon is unable to account for more than $500 million in U.S. military aid given to Yemen." Obviously, "can't account for" means "has lost." There are "fears that the weaponry, aircraft and equipment is at risk of being seized by Iranian-backed rebels oral-Qaeda, according to U.S. officials." And just like that, Obama's now laughable, pathetic foreign policy has not only resulted in another Obama-supported administration to be exiled or worse, but is has directly armed the adversary. And to think it was only 6 months ago when Obama was praising the "Yemen success story." From Obama's Statement on ISIL as of September 10, 2014: Now, it will take time to eradicate a cancer like ISIL. And any time we take military action, there are risks involved –- especially to the servicemen and women who carry out these missions. But I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil. This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist, using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground. This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years. And it is consistent with the approach I outlined earlier this year: to use force against anyone who threatens America’s core interests, but to mobilize partners wherever possible to address broader challenges to international order.

The Bergdahl Fiasco ......................................................................................... American Thinker ^ \| March 25, 2015 \| Jonathan Keiler The languishing case of Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl continues to raise serious questions about whether the Obama administration is illegally influencing the military justice system. It would not be the first time either, as Obama’s political views on Islam clearly prejudiced and dragged out the prosecution of former Major Nidal Hassan, the Fort Hood terrorist. Both cases bear the marks of improper “command influence” on the military. This is most clearly evident in the tormented and confusing delays in processing both cases, reflective of the Army’s struggle to maintain at least a veneer of objectivity, while marching to Obama’s tune. ~snip~ In the Bergdahl case, something similar is happening, though the legal tactics have changed. It is hard to know exactly what is going on, as the Army has effectively stonewalled both the press and Congress. In January, on FOX television’s “The O’Reilly Factor” retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer claimed that reliable sources told him that Bergdahl would be charged with desertion, though the Army was quick to deny that. Last week on the same program, Shaffer backtracked, and opined that the reason for the delay is that the Army wants Bergdahl to plead guilty to something less than the maximum offense -- desertion in the face of the enemy -- in order to spare the Obama administration the embarrassment of having freed a gaggle of terrorists on his behalf, and feting him and his family as heroes upon his release. This seems to be much more likely, both explaining the delay, and also better fitting President Obama’s agenda, even though that is not supposed to factor at all in military justice deliberations.

Bowe Bergdahl charged with desertion ............................................................................................................................................... washingtonpost.com Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the U.S. soldier who was recovered in Afghanistan last spring after five years in captivity, faces charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, according to his lawyer. Eugene Fidell, Bergdahl’s attorney, told The Washington Post that his client was handed a charge sheet on Tuesday. Army officials announced they will provide an update in his case at 3:30 p.m. at Fort Bragg, N.C., but declined to discuss new developments ahead of the news conference. Bergdahl, 28, went missing from his base in Paktika province on June 30, 2009, and is believed to have grown disillusioned with the U.S. military’s mission in Afghanistan. He was held captive in Pakistan by the Haqqani network, an insurgent group allied with the Taliban, until a deal brokered through the government of Qatar was reached last year.
