Using Women's Panties as a Weapon
Frontpagemag.com ^ | May 10, 2004 | Larry Schweikart

Amidst all the apologies, I want to suggest we all (Hillary Clinton here) take a deep breath and consider something that no one in the administration or Congress has (publicly) considered:

The POW photos are having an unintended effect on the Arab "Street" and the "resistance."

By now, everyone pretty well knows that Arab societies base everything on power and perceptions of power. In part, that is why so many Freepers and conservatives got their panties in a bunch because it appeared in public like "apologizing" was a sign of weakness.

Ah, my friends. You aren't thinking like an Arab. The "street" and, indeed, the leadership doesn't trust much of what we say---they only look at what we do. It would have made no difference if Bush formally apologized and sent each detainee a bouquet of flowers---the "street" would see that as a sham, a pretense, a distraction from the "real" policy.

No, I suggest something else. That the Arab "street" and especially the "resistance" has taken from those photos a message we didn't intend to send, but one that strikes fear into the very heart of them---a message of pure power and dominance. The submissive positions of these "tough" Iraqi men under the heels and attached to the leashes of WOMEN (and relatively small women, at that) sends a very powerful message to the "street."

Snip

Of course, for many reasons, some good and some bad, this episode will be investigated, and some heads will roll. But the Arab street will not take that as a sign of American or western-style "justice," rather it will interpret this as another psy-op campaign designed to conceal the real message---that American women are "stronger" than Middle Eastern men.

Does anyone know if the garment in question is available on Ebay yet?

All true. I was being a bit tongue in cheek. Everyone involved in this should be investigated, and any violations of the Uniform Military Code of Justice should be prosecuted.

As long as our guards didn't let dogs bite the prisoners (as the media has suggested), as long as the guards didn't shove broomsticks up their butts--I am beginning to reach the conclusion that this is much ado about nothing.

ditto that

I say dress them up in corsets, garter belts and fishnet stockings like Dr. Frankenfurther in Rocky Horror Picture Show and threaten to parade them down the streets of Bagdad if they don't talk.

LOLOLO

'Someone needs to ask John McCain if he thinks the beatings he got were an atrocity in comparison to making Ali wear a pair of panties around on his head...'

Boy I'll say! I mean, what straight, red-blooded American man hasn't grabbed his gals warm panties out of the dryer and put them on his head? (you've all done it...admit it...please?)
She gets embarrassed and then you fool around.

You see? I told everybody we should have tried harder to get french soldiers in there! They would have arrived with fancy corsets, fish net stockings, etc., as part of their normal gear and would have been able to arrange a prisoner parade too sweet! Maybe that's what all those dims had in mind when they wanted so badly to include the french. Hmmm.

USING WOMENS' PANTIES AS A WEAPON

Now there's a headline that can mean a lot of things.

First, I thought about the "panties' of that monolithic, waddling waterbuffalo of a Klinton attorney general Janet Ree-No. Can you imagine what a humongous catapult that could be made of that lusty lesbian's drawers?

Large missiles could be fired at an an enemy, but we'd feel sorry for the poor cannoneers that would have to load and stretch that filthy rag.

What with Hillary and Markie Post beintg discussed I neglected my patrol. I suggest for our friendly terrorists the thongs from Vic Secret which shouldn't be worn by self respecting American girls anyway.

Magnificent representation of BALANCE in the media. Now all you need is a few photos of Elian and WACO to also illustrate that NO ONE was asked to resign for THOSE atrocities either by the press/media/academe nor by anyone in Congress.

"That said, the media's relentless, unfair coverage of this issue is beginning to PISS ME OFF!!! The Democratic leadership's attempt to sacrifice our will to win is enraging me!!!!"

I totally agree with you and what scares me most is that our troops see what is happening here and are a bit leary (sp.) to use certain forms of interegation that are for all intensive purposes absolutley legal. But, with all of this negativity being broadcast by the media every one of them will feel under the microscope and won't use the strong arming that they actually are allowed for fear of being scapegoated.

The absolute ignorance and one dimentional approach of our media (HA!! excuse my laughter) never ceases to amaze me. They don't see the damage they are doing to their own country. They should be ashamed... (yeah, don't worry I won't hold my breath)

all they have to do is import a tractor trailer load of hogs...make an effigy filled with raw hamburger...make the effigy look like a raghead and shoot him in the groin and throw him to the hogs...hawgs will eat anything and let all the others watch this...and then point at one of them and tell him to come here you are next...

in less than 30 seconds, you will know how many freckles his mama has on her butt and if she makes noise during sex and probably a lot of other stuff you don't want to know, but rest assured, you will know everything military he knows!!

BTW the correct redneck spelling of naked is nekkid!!

Women's underware, or more appropriatly, the lack of them, has ruined men since the creation. This case is no exception.
