The Associated Press<\/a> reports that the Taliban is ready to deal in regards to the release of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, the soldiers who has been their prisoner for five years, but they can’t find anyone to deal with to secure his release;<\/p>\n

Bergdahl’s captors are anxious to release him, according to a defense official and a military officer, who both spoke to The Associated Press only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly.<\/p>\n

“Elements in all echelons \u2014 from the top of the Taliban down to the folks holding Bergdahl \u2014 are reaching out to make a deal,” the defense official said.<\/p>\n

The military officer, who said the effort was marred by distrust on both sides, said those holding Bergdahl have indicated what they would be willing to do to prove to the U.S. government that they want to deal, but that the U.S. has not formally responded to that outreach.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is not my shocked face. While I don’t completely believe the Taliban or the Haqqani network, or whoever, I do get the sense that this administration’s clown car ride of diplomats, led by John Kerry, are more than capable of screwing this up beyond recognition. Of course, the Taliban could always drop him off in a basket, wrapped in swaddling clothes at a local mosque if they really wanted to get rid of him that bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
