Pres. Obama's Position on Bergdahl

The Washington Times quoted Pres. Obama as saying today that he had an obligation to secure the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, regardless of the circumstances surrounding Sgt. Bergdahl’s capture by the Taliban five years ago and despite claims he’s a “deserter” who walked away from his unit.
I agree with Pres. Obama that we had an obligation to recover Sgt. Bergdahl, whether or not he was a claimed deserter.
However, the President was wrong in the process of recovery. Instead of a prisoner exchange, the Army should have attacked the position where Bergdahl was being held, wiping out that Taliban position, and recovering Sgt. Bergdahl for a subsequent court-martial.
