Bergdahlmania

Try saying it fast. "Bowe Bergdahl, Bowe Bergdahl, Bowe Bergdahl...." it's a bit of a tongue-twister. At first I thought, "Oh no! Another tedious Media-addled distraction to take our minds off the fact that 'we' should never have invaded Afghanistan in the first place!" But now I'm thinking, well, this previously naive young man made the mistake of having an ethical compass. According to Stephanie Miller (or one of her talk-show partners) Bowe Bergdahl apparently didn't like the way speeding American armored vehicles ran down little Iraqi kids in the streets of Baghdad. He objected to the notion that Iraqis, Afghanis, and other occupied peoples are only "Bug-splat," as American fighter-jet and helicopter pilots refer to them, just before they bomb and strafe and kill.... for no apparent reason. So he walked away, it would seem. I'm glad Bowe is free. I'm ecstatic that five men who were never charged with a crime, yet interned for years in a concentration camp have been released from Gitmo. Good luck, Bowe - may you, by the grace of Almighty GOURD, escape the insane wrath of the Rectal-reject Rabble who reiterate Reactionary Republican Rhetoric!
