AND THE ENEMY GLOATS – AT 9:14 A.M. ET:  The enemy is already gloating about the deal made to release Sgt. Bergdahl.  From NBC: 

After five detainees from Guantanamo Bay were swapped for the only American soldier held captive in Afghanistan, the Taliban leader Mullah Omar delivered a rare statement Sunday calling the trade a “great victory.”

“We shall thank almighty for this great victory,” said the statement. “The sacrifice of our Mujahedin have resulted in the release of our senior leaders from the hand of the enemy.”

Omar called for the release of "all those who have been imprisoned for defending the honor and freedom of their country," and he thanked the “faithful Muslim nation of Afghanistan,” the Amir of Qatar for his “tireless efforts” to secure the swap, as well as Bergdahl’s captors.

And, of course, our president weighed in with one of the most cynical comments he's made as president:

In a statement, President Obama called the release a “reminder of America’s unwavering commitment to leave no man or woman on the battlefield.”

COMMENT:  He wasn't on the battlefield.  He was, if an overwhelming number of reports are correct, deserting the battlefield. 

It is frightening to think what goes on in the mind of the commander-in-chief.
