Call me cynical, but the timing of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's release is suspicious...

Obama needed to change the topic from the VA scandal and he did.

Via The Hill:

The Taliban’s release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl dominated the Sunday talk shows, pushing Friday’s resignation of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki from the headlines.

The Sunday shows were packed with Republicans launching into political attacks against President Obama and the administration for transferring five Taliban members from Guantanamo Bay to Qatar in exchange for the release of Bergdahl, the 28-year-old whom the Taliban released on Saturday, and administration officials defending the decision.

“Disturbing,” was how Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) put it on ABC’s “This Week.”

“Dangerous,” echoed House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) on CNN’s “State of The Union.”
