PHONY IRAQI ABUSE OUTRAGE SYNDROME

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

Thanks, Tonk. This has been devastating to us. I've rarely seen morale this low.

Tell a few others, willya? I've seen some not-so-intelligent things here the past few days.

Excellent and well thought out post. I hope those who think this was a fraternity prank read it as well as the DOD report linked from Fox and MSNBC.

I'm trying. Articles like this, and the response they generate, do not help much.

Yep. And now they've got one. Courtesy of a bunch of brutal slobs and their commanders who never should've been within spitting distance of their commissions.

When the President himself comes out and says that he's disgusted by it, YOU KNOW the private conversations he's having with the Joint Chiefs and Sec Def are real one-sided. I bet he looked Secretary Rumsfeld in the eye and said, "I want stars, on my desk, soonest. (pounds desk) I want somebody's B**LS, NOW!". The only thing that you can say to that is, "YES, SIR!"

"This has been devastating to us. I've rarely seen morale this low."

The media has played this over and over and over.
Then Hanoi Kerry jumped in and opened his traitor mouth.
Yet none of the big 5 liberal media dared show the Press Conference about his time in Viet Nam.
Just like in my time, your time also has to deal with the media.
When was the last time you saw a good story about the military in Iraq or Afghanistan on the big 5 liberal media?

I really have to believe that they are well-intentioned, but their support is misplaced. It's not disloyal or bad to condemn disgraceful acts, without reservation. It doesn't mean you don't support the war or the troops.

I doubt seriously I ever will. We've all come to expect it, though. It's one of the things that keeps us to high standards of conduct.

The jokers at that prison gave the Left a perfect club to bash us all with. And they will.

Odd, isn't it? The level of "revulsion" in the world to the acts of a few out-of-control US soldiers. I will not mitigate their crimes: I expect, after a proper investigation, the offending soldiers will be sent to prison for a VERY long time IAW UCMJ, not CNN. I hold them in contempt and disgust, bottom line. But that is the difference, we punish these criminals, our enemies do not.

That said, I am wondering where the world's "revulsion" was during 9-11 when Arabs and Palastinians were dancing in the streets. I wonder where it was when our soldiers were dragged throught the streets in Somalia. I am wondering where it is every time a homicide bomber attacks women and children in Isreal. Where was it when 4 civilians were mutilated, burned and hung in Iraq? Where was it when Arabic terrorists tried to kill 80,000 in Jordan last month?

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.

Let the military justice system work. And Jonny Kerry better stay far away from this topic since I feel it is my duty to arrest him for war crimes he admitted to and throw him in the same prison these soldiers will go to (though he is also guilty of sedition, aiding and abbetting a hostile power, being a member of a group reported to advance the ideas of killing US leadership, etc...charges that will never see court, but should).

"Again, I say uniformed combatants. No uniform, no rules. That's the Geneva Convention"

A Prisoner of War (PW) is defined as enemy personnel - in or out of uniform who carry arms openly.
