New war joke.

Two US Marines are listening to the radio in Iraq. "American soldiers," coos a soft female voice, "Your so-called national leaders have lied to you. You are needlessly risking your lives to wage a useless, unjust, illegal, and unwinnable war. Now is the time to return home to your loved ones, while you are still alive. If you foolishly insist on remaining where you are not wanted, the brave resistance fighters will have no choice but to kill you and add your name to the long ever-increasing casualty list of this insane war. So why risk never seeing your loved ones again for a so-called president who has repeatedly lied and decieved you at every opportunity? Why should you be sacrificed so that US corporations can enjoy fatter profits? The only wise thing to do is return home now, while you are still drawing breath, before you return zippered into a body bag."

"What's this?" sneers one Marine. "An Islamo-terrorist version of Tokyo Rose?"

"No," answers the other. "It's just a CNN commentator."

Got this one in an email and had to put it out there.

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

[Tax-chick]

Funny!

[ChevyZ28]

Too truthful and somber to be funny. What's worse, any news agency except for Fox News could have been inserted in this joke and would have fit perfectly.

[Poohbah]

Too true to be truly funny.

[weegee]

The President would not need to be holding this press conference tonight if the natering naybobs of negativity weren't razzing the administration from the Peanut Gallery.

[FourPeas]

All good comedy has a grain of truth to it. This has all too much more.

Bagdad Betty!

Here I was thinking it was Jeanine Garofalo (sp?). Sounds like something she would say.

[Polybius]

Got this one in an email and had to put it out there.

The sad part is that I figured out the punchline after the first two sentences. It's not far from the truth.

[swheats]

funny but scary, that sound like a dnc mouthpiece on any given day.

[oyez]

I feel confident we will have great success with our efforts. It won't be cheap or easy. Those successes are going to be rubbed out or down played by the media. Only those that have been there or seek for themselves will know the truth.

[Dave_in_Upland]

The one I heard was.....

The female voice on the loud speaker ran down a long list of the GI's complaints; no sleep, no warm food, away from their honey, in the middle of a bunch of people that hated them, and then made the usual pitch that the GI's just give up and go home.

One soldier looks at the guy next to him and grins "Hell, this is a perfect day to be a Marine."

"Bagdad Betty!"

Hey--I represent that remark!!

At the news conference, when members of the press kept insisting that President Bush admit to a mistake he's made, I would have said: "My biggest mistake was believing that the American Press and the Democrats cared as much about this country as the rest of us do."

[VadeRetro]

That damn Judy Woodruff again!

[sport]

It may only be a joke, but there is a lot of truth in it.

[RebelBanker]

I still remember watching TV during the '91 Gulf War, when they showed a Bradley crew listening to Baghdad Betty. She said something like, "...while all you American soldiers are over here in the desert, your wives and girlfriends are back home fooling around with Hollywood stars like Tom Cruise, John Wayne and Bart Simpson." I thought one of the troops was going to fall off the top of the track he was laughing so hard.
