An American super hero is born
“After six weeks of disconnection from his job, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) learns that a British journalist has been investigating his past and contacts him to find out who his source is. Bourne is subsequently targeted by Operation Blackbriar, an upgraded Operation Treadstone, which has also taken note of the investigation. Believing that Bourne is a threat and is seeking revenge, Blackbriar’s director Noah Vosen (David Strathairn) begins a new hunt for Bourne. Bourne manages to take classified documents proving that Blackbriar has targeted U.S. citizens…”
Would you refuse to save Jason Bourne?
Well, Barack Obama certainly wouldn’t. Especially when the cost of saving this young American hero was only the release of five of the most dangerous high-ranking members of the Taliban from detention at Gitmo.
And now, at last, the truth about this proud moment in Obama military history, has been revealed. If you were one who was fooled by all those accounts by members of Bowe Bergdahl’s platoon disparaging this young man, it is time you listened to the truth.
The “truth”, that is, as told straight from the lips of this newest American superhero, himself! According to an interview with Bergdahl on the podcast, “Serial”, Bergdahl tells his side of the story of his capture by the Taliban and his 5 years of captivity before being rescued by the Obama Pentagon (The podcast)… was released on Thursday at 6am, just hours after Republicans released 98-page report accusing Obama of misleading Congress about the case.
‘I thought I was ‘Jason Bourne from the movies’: Sgt Bowe Bergdahl describes deserting his military base …”. ‘I had this fantastic idea that I was going to prove to the world that I was the real thing. You know, that I could be what it is that all those guys out there that go to the movies and watch those movies, they all want to be that, but I wanted to prove that I was that.’
As Bowe tells it, he wasn’t deserting his unit when he left his post in the middle of the night to seek out the Taliban, as some of his fellow soldiers have charged.
No sir! Bowe was trying to save these very men: (via The Daily Mail referencing the “Serial” podcast interview).
“He says: ‘What I was seeing from my first unit all the way up into Afghanistan, all’s I was seeing was basically leadership failure, to the point that the lives of the guys standing next to me were literally from what I could see in danger of something seriously going wrong and somebody being killed.’
Instead of trekking 18 miles to tell another base about issues at his own, Bergdahl claims he decided to follow the Taliban as they planted explosives, so he had some concrete information to impart.
He said: ‘When I got back to the F.O.B. [front operating base], you know, they could say, “You left your position.”
‘But I could say: “Well, I also got this information. So, what are you going to do?”‘
You got that?! Bowe was putting it all on the line for his ‘band of brothers’!
With all that ‘misinformation’ cleared up, I think we can look forward to the of the Congressional Medal of Honor presentation in the Rose Garden and to the inevitable movie. I think we can all correctly guess who will play Bergdahl…Matt Damon, of course!*
Undoubtedly, Secretary of Defense, “Ash” Carter is relieved of his greatest fear that, had Bowe not come forward with his story, there could have been a severe “backlash” against the Taliban, with whom the administration is still allegedly trying to have peace talks.
(Additional note: It occurs to us that maybe Bowe’s ‘coming clean’ version of his story is a last ditch effort to escape accountability by proving he is mentally incompetent and therefore a fully qualified Democrat voter. Works for me!)

* The Bourne films are a series of action spy thriller film based on the character Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), a CIA assassin suffering from extreme memory loss who must figure out who he is, created by author Robert Ludlum. This article in World Socialist Web Site highlighting Damon’s loyalty to the Obama agenda will serve to justify our casting call.
Considering all the re-definitions of well known terms like, radical, treason, etc. by this despicable regime, this scenario sounds entirely plausible and probable. Just wish you conservatives would stop giving the Asshat in Chief ideas on how to further lie and obfuscate the obvious. Don’t want to confuse the idiots that voted for him or the ones about to vote for Hildebeast.
