WHEN GOOD NEWS COMES OUT BAD
Happy Cinco de Drinko everybody!
There's is so much good news in the paper lately. Only problem is it's presented as bad.
The latest trick of the left, which proved incredibly effective last decade in helping Rodney King become a WMD, is to work up a lot of phony outrage at Iraqi prisoners being tortured and abused by our military.
"Iraqi Prisoner Urinated On!" And the problem is..? It's the least we can do, really. OK, you're in the Twin Towers on 9/11/01. What would you choose? Someone flying a packed airliner into your head or getting peed upon in the lobby? Thought so. To the anti-US news reporters the only American allowed to pee on others is R Kelly. The only outrageous thing to me is that the soldiers did not shout, "That's for Tillman and Pearl" while they were emptying their bladders on the kindly shepherds.
Yes, I know. Even Rumsfeld and Bush are outraged. What do you expect them to say? "Well, the White House believes that pissing on a guy has it's merits?" Don't they already have their hands full trying to explain to the mentally disabled of the print media the basic concepts of right vs. wrong and self-defense?
It's sad that the news media treats Michael Jackson better than our military. And it's sad that some people are eager to prosecute any of our military as war criminals before Saddam Hussein answers to his evil.
Abuse is necessary for the survival of a free state. These "prisoners" have another name. Enemy combatants. We are fighting dirty people who see Geneva Conventional warfare as old school. "Yo my sand nigga. That's a bunch of Babylonia. Knowwhatitisthatiamsayingtoyoumyfriend?"
As I said last year on the air to much hootery and derision, the eggshells upon which President Bush must walk to fight this war will continue to cause needless death. Lob a nuke and see what happens. It worked for the Japs. They sure as hell calmed down and concentrated on electronics and sushi.
Everytime we conquer a land everyone wins.When we fought Germany did anyone think it would yield some of the kinkiest porn America has ever seen? Tons of Jews driving Mercedes?
We whipped Russia's ass, everybody loves vodka now...more so than Raymond. It's even flavored for the 'tweens.
Britain and Canada...America's twin sons. We steal all their comedians and TV shows and make them better..Tom Green being the exception.
The South is in much better shape than the North these days. NASCAR is huge everywhere. We even succeed when we kick our own ass! That's how great this country is.
So before we weaken ourselves even further in the eyes of the Arab world by holding congressional hearings on the wedgie, let's make examples of the soldiers who have bravely farted in the face of evil by giving them medals that they can bring back home so John Kerry can toss them over a fence.
TOMORROW: MORE GOOD NEWS DISGUISED AS BAD

The demcrat senators think they are snipers and Rumsfeld is in their sights.
It's no wonder we confuse the Arab World.
"The New Yorker magazine reported Saturday that it had obtained a 53-page U.S. military report that concluded that Iraqi prisoners had been subjected to "sadistic, blatant and wanton criminal abuses" at the prison, which before last year's U.S.-led invasion had been Saddam Hussein's primary killing ground for political enemies. The author of the report, identified by the New Yorker as Army Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba, said it appeared that some of the inmates had been beaten and sodomized, perhaps with a broomstick or a chemical light." Source: http://www.latimes.com/la-fg-abuse2may02,1,3116542.story
You must have really enjoyed hell week!
The MPs at the prison in question have few duties. The are to secure the prison and ensure the safety of the prisoners. This isn't a fraternity.
Talk about putting the main point first, now that is Army style writing. Main point up front.
I really don't care what our troops do to obtain information vital to the welfare of our troops, countrymen, and country. I have faith in their discretion.
Maybe next time Jihadi-boy is found at a roadside checkpoint with a RPG launcher in his car, he may be more likely to spill the beans if he knew the only plasma on the screen in the local jail is blood plasma.
I've got dibs on using this as my tagline.
This isn't a fraternity.
You have it right, and because of those facts, I have certain reservations of the veracity of the controversial images, and the incredible fuss over the matter. There is something wrong with this entire situation. I can scarcely believe that American MPs would be so reckless, as they are being portrayed. They are well instructed on proper Military deportment under such circumstances
I am of the mind that we are simply not getting the entire story, and the more that we get mired in this controversy, the more we lose sight of the real objectives.
We ar in a War against terrorists, and their supporters.
