Scandal shows women acting like men

NY Newsday ^ | May 13, 2004 | Marie Cocco (aka "Cukoo")

She's got it all. The perky grin. The cheerleader's exuberance. The diminutive figure. The Dorothy Hamill hair.

What might have been a picture of America's sweetheart has become instead a portrait of America's sadist.

The world knows Lynndie England, the dark-haired Army private who appears in pictures of sexual humiliation at the Abu Ghraib prison, because she has become the scandal's featured model. The Iraqi prisoner abuse that has shocked the national conscience delivers an unfamiliar jolt: The face of this scandal is female.

Three of the seven members of a military police unit who've been charged in the abuse investigation are women. The brigadier general who was in charge of the jail, Janis Karpinski, is now a familiar face, defending herself for failing to stop the indefensible. The head of intelligence for the U.S. command in Baghdad is a woman whose name has not, thus far, become a household word - Maj. Gen. Barbara Fast.

I would sooner guess that she will be heading to Washington for an intern job. She sounds like she has all the qualifications.

Newsday did do the usually leftie nasty by misrepresenting the monster chicks as sweeties for the purpose of overemphasizing their "scandal" after one of our citizens was forced to be the object of a NAZI-Islamist, worldwide spectacle of terror.

That rag's feminazi effort should be lampooned, and you did a good job of it with those pictures.

PING!

Take a look at the photos immediately after the posted article! And don't mind the article, as it stinks.

If it's ever discovered that the "Don't Ask, don't tell" crowd was involved with sex with the prisoners, this story will never see the light of day again.

Tragedy in that the men and women in our military have a dark cloud hanging over our head because of these fools.

Nevermind, the smoke has obviously effected your brain.

O' and next time. Try making an intelligent argument instead of name calling.

Looks like Danny Bonaduce...

Funny is fun, but don't go picken on poor Clay.
I was a Claymate for almost a year and still adore him. Those are fightin words. LOL
(Just kidding, but we Claymates do have some sharp claws)

[presidio9]

Why didn't I think of that?

[kevao]

I don't smoke. You're confusing me with the other guy who posted to you.

[ctlpdad]

hysterical freaks about smoking -like you- just plain suck. He was making a joke. lighten up, francis. sheesh.

[GOPJ]

Yeah, it looks like gay S&M sex. If it is, watch Kennedy and the dems move from being "outraged" to "let's move on". The media will turn on a dime too...

FNC has reported that a lot of the "porn" pictures from Abu Ghraib are actually fakes lifted off of a real porn site.

When I first saw the pics - cigarette dangling etc. - I kept thinking, "Is that a man?" Never occurred to me it was a woman - just a weirdo guy. She still looks mannish to me.

[TheBattman]

What? No comments or complaints about women in the military.....????

[TheBattman]

Don't insult Clay that way....

[TheBattman]

I believe I first used the term "Bull Dyke" to refer to her right after the first pictures came out.

Plenty of lesbians get pregnant - I wouldnt' be surprised if the pregnancy began after (because of) her exploits in Iraq........

I be she doesn't even know who the "daddy" is - and probably doesn't care.

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

Now I remember where I sw this woman before.

[KOZ.]

exactly. it'll be buried as soon as it doesnt feed the fire against bush.

[Sacajaweau]

Has anyone heard anything GOOD about this dyke except that she was a tornado chaser?

Why do I think the term "tornado chaser" is not what we perceive but a term this dyke uses to describe something sexual. The possibility just dawned on me after no one elaborated on her tornado chasing experiences.

The Baltimore Sun has a picture of Sgt. Javal S. Davis an African American, Buried on page 14 A.
Under this 1994 High School yearbook photo it states: Sgt. Javal S. Davis,26, is charged with dereliction of duty and failing to protect detainees.

The real charges, buried in the article, accuse Frederick of watching inmates forced to simulate oral sex, forcing inmates to fight,jumping atop a pyramid of naked inmates and useing a closed fist to strike a prisoner in the chest"with a means of force likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm".

X42 would have had no problem welcoming her into his midnight oval office parties.
