One of the funniest takes on the war this week.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Aint it the truth.

[pabianice]

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

[thoughtomator]

The thing is, the same people working up faux outrage over this are the same folks who thought that Saddam's decades of torture on an enormous scale was unimportant.

Is such an arid region, they were giving the gift of the water of life..

[Old Sarge]

Giggle-snort-chuckle PING!

THANK YOU, Slim, for one of the best laughs this week!

[stuartcr]

One thing we can be assured of...the lowest ranked person will be found guilty.

[1Old Pro]

I still can't believe that it is considered "torture" for Americans to make an Arab walk naked. Yet it's just acceptable rage for Arabs to drag American bodies behind their vehicles.

[Howie66]

Great post, slim!!

Perhaps you could forward this to the insane media pukes at cnnabccbsnbc? Naturally the best results would be if you could reset the type to crayon colors and block letters.....

It's sad that the news media treats Michael Jackson better than our military.

I've got dibs on using this as my tagline.

[Soaring Feather]

Laugh bump.

[Liberatio]

i agree with your comment

[MJM59]

Ah, the sweet smell of perspective.

[Flash Bazbeaux]

Well, peeing on the enemy is a great American military tradition. Remember Captain Bucher of the Pueblo?

"The absolute truth of this bowel wrenching confession is attested to by my fervent desire to paean the Korean People’s Army Navy, and their government and to beseech the Korean people to forgive our dastardly deeds unmatched since Attila. I therefore swear the following account to be true on the sacred honor of the Great Speckled Bird."

[Musket]

Good post. Thanks. F the Liberal Media.

[AngryJawa]

Man, do I ever miss Larry and Eric in the morning.

The Regular Guys Rocked...'eff you, Steve. 8^)

[Fishing-guy]

Boy, with this argument, Sadam was actually a good guy.

[Wolfstar]

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.

Sigh...it's a different world now, because the Left pretty much has had an easy time of it since WWII turning this into an oh-so-PC nation. We don't fight wars to win anymore. We "establish a presence" then worry about winning "hearts and minds." (A small consolation, thanks to the Euro-Left, Europe is even softer than we are.)

[Don Simmons]

Hell, I have no sympathy for the dirtbags we have imprisoned over there - none whatsoever. The problem is three-fold though:
1) We are supposed to hold ourselves to a higher standard in the first place. Enough said.
2) Whomever it was taking the pictures should be executed for being JUST THAT DAMN STUPID!!!
3) Probably the most important aspect for folks to consider when assessing the conduct of our "military" personnel over there is that the MPs in question are RESERVISTS - not active duty.
Slice it any way you want, but it does make a huge difference. I know because I am active duty and I have been to Iraq. Not to criticize all Reservists, but Active Duty Soldiers have a higher standard of conduct (I stress USUALLY, before anyone flies off the handle...) when dealing with captured enemy combatants and in combat in general.

The truly bad part of all this is not the humiliation brought to the Iraqi prisoners...the Hussein regime treated his own soldiers worse than we are...it's the huge setback all this is to our entire effort.

To the anti-US news reporters the only American allowed to pee on others is R Kelly.

And Lyndon B. Johnson.

Does anyone remember that Jessica Lynch as well as other female POW's (in Gulf War I) were raped? Lynch was even sodomized. Of course we don't have the pictures for CNN to repeatedly televise but these things happended just the same. 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. France harbors a child molestor(Roman Polanski)and dares judge us?
