Sort of puts to rest the first Obama lie for freeing the Taliban. Moreover, if they really had thought him in such danger based on a December video, why didn’t they move then? And if true, why could they not have given Congress notice since they had 5 months?

Quote:One of the main claims that the Obama administration made to justify giving up five Taliban commanders in exchange for Army sergeant Bowe Bergdahl has been undermined, according to U.S. officials who say he is “physically sound.”

Obama administration officials have said that Bergdahl’s health was deteriorating rapidly and that he was in imminent danger after being held captive by the Haqqani network for nearly five years.

Because of his condition, a deal to free him from captivity was fast-tracked, the administration has maintained.

But U.S. officials who have been briefed on Bergdahl’s condition since his return into U.S. hands told The New York Times that he is healthier than expected.

According to the report, the officials said that Bergahl is not malnourished. He weighs 160 pounds, a healthy weight for his 5-foot-9 frame.

“He suffers from skin and gum disorders typical of poor hygiene and exposure, but otherwise is physically sound, one official said,” the Times reported.

Bergdahl is recovering at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.

Pentagon and Joint Chiefs of Staff officials briefed a group of U.S. senators on Wednesday, showing them a “proof of life” video of Bergdahl filmed in December. It was meant to show that Bergdahl was in dire straits. (RELATED: Senators Said They Learned Nothing From Bergdahl Briefing)

But many of the senators in the closed-door session came away saying that Bergdahl merely looked drugged rather than in poor physical health.
