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

[Cold Heat]

I sure hope so. The charges need to be made soon.

I personaly want to see twenty. IMO.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Please explain how these "atrocities" are in any way worse than what is done during that most vicious of rituals, fraternity hell week.

Didn't Kerry do worse in the Viet Nam war?

[writer33]

"So, Mr, Mrs, (and whatever I missed) World, excuse me if I can't show the "universal revulsion" the world socialists, tyrants, terrorists and leftists show now, but seem to forget about when the atrocities happen to Americans or Isrealies."

You're not in the minority here. I'm on board completely. Fix it and move on. This isn't a mountain. It's a molehill.

[writer33]

"30 years ago, Richard Nixon (who, although he may NOT have been personally responsible for the conduct of his surrogates) rsigned rather than bring dishonor to his office."


I'll agree with that, but don't send amateurs to do a professional's job. It's that simple.

[FreeReign]

I'm not excusing what those troops did at the prison but the Arab world is only outraged when their swarthy brothers are undergoing what weekly occurs at Frat parties across this great nation. And the rest of the world is just as hypocritical.

Some of it was on the level of Frat Party pranks but there were some incidents that appear to be torture and rape and Freepers should be angry with that.

But, I agree there is a lot of biased rage in the world, from many Arabs, from many global socialists and from Democrats here in the U.S.

Where's the world outrage with what happened to this family?

Damn, it's already forgotten.

[Texasforever]

I just spent 30 minutes reading the entire report. There is NO excuse for what happened. I withdraw all objections.

[potlatch]

Sure Eaker, you can put me on your list and I'll reply when I'm interested. OK? Carol

[MACVSOG68]

It seems the MI is behind this.

Could you provide a link. I did not see that in the DOD report released.

[Barlowmaker]

Karpinski's life has, shall we say, come to a fork in the road, big time

Did you know any of the details surrounding the bronze star she won in Gulf War 1?

[Barlowmaker]

Did you = Do you

[Barlowmaker]

That report was devastating about her "command".

Check out this puff piece. It warrants a "barf alert".

[Long Cut]

Nope. But I'm willing to bet good money that it was what we call in the Navy a "geedunk" medal...that is, one given less for any real accomplishment than for "show".

[Long Cut]

I figured you would...you're a decent person.

[Texasforever]

There is a certain female General trolling the TV for support.She could not run a day camp.

Her entire command team appear to be idiots with her leading the way.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

"Fix it and move on. This isn't a mountain. It's a molehill."

Read the report linked in post #117. Sadly, it IS a mountain. That whole command was disfunctional. Some of those "soldiers" crossed the line into sexual torture; in fact, that seems to be a running theme.

My mind boggles when I think about what they might've done in their civilian lives.

[Smokin' Joe]

I was going to say that the end of hell week, you get to be the pee-er rather than the pee-ee, but I guess that is a dubious advantage.

[MEG33]

# 60,he's read what is in #117 ,(short list of abuse on down the thread from there).and is on active duty.I've read enough of 117 to understand why our military is outraged,angry at the perps and their commander and think they may be "Kerryed" by association.That must not happen..

[Long Cut]

They were an absolute disgrace, both as human beings and as Officers. They have shamed one of the most time-honored and respected classes of the American Military with their incompetence and sleaze.

Hell, one of her "captains" was taking nude pictures of the female Soldiers under his command without their knowledge! A Leiutenent Colonel was so inept that he was specifically cited for incompetence and failing to do even the most basic of jobs! The Command Seargeant Major was fraternizing with the junior Soldiers. The list went on so long I couldn't believe that they ever attained that rank in the first place.
