Ah, what a country!

One day, the most popular photos in America show Paris Hilton doing the
wild thing. The next, we're frantically downloading pictures of
Americans roasted and hung on a bridge in Iraq.

Five minutes later, your average Attention Deficit Disorder-stricken
American is surfing for homoerotic photos of Iraqi prisoners being
humiliated by angry American bull-dykes.

Chalk up another international humiliation for America the Beautiful.

The fact that these pictures WERE taken suggests to me that these actions
were:

1) under orders from someone;

2) INTENDED to be recorded for later use (to show incoming 'freshmen' photos
of what they're in for)

"I was just following orders." --Hermann Goering and about 200 other top
Nazis, 1945

BOTTOM LINE: We might as well pack up and leave the entire Middle East;
between Bush's Blunder, ie. the ill-advised, under-planned invasion of Iraq
-- and this graphic demo of what Americans do when left alone with
imprisoned "camel jockies/sand-niggers/towel-heads" means we've pretty much
lost the entire 21st century battle for 'hearts and minds'. (These people
have LONG cultural memories.)

Add it all up, it means we'll never "WIN" the "war" on terror. We'll be
lucky if we, as Americans, can even leave our shores within a few years. (We
at the Museum will be packing, though -- sometime in mid-November.)

Meanwhile, the Islamic terrorists are having a field day; recruitment
offices are filling up with youngsters wanting to kill the Heathen
Westerners.

(The good news: When we ask "Why do they hate us?" in the future, we can
just look at these photos.)

We're fucked once again: Thanks, George!

While we're at it, we can also thank Rumsfeld and the "privatization" of
military functions for this "Public Relations" disaster. ("Privatization" is
a neo-con euphemism for "enriching your friends and previous employers" --
see "Halliburton" for more.)

We knew about civilians driving trucks, cooking, and cleaning for the
troops; then when four non-military Americans were roasted and strung up in
Fallujah, we learned that private contractors (aka 'mercenaries') were
serving as personal bodyguards to U.S. officials and guards for government
installations.

Now it turns out that interrogators in Iraqi prisons are working for private
contractors "CACI International" and a company appropriately called "Titan".

Those four dead U.S. 'civilians' in Fallujah: American taxpayers didn't ask
them to be there. Did ya?

And the prison "Interrogators" currently under investigation --- did you,
American taxpayer -- ask them to go 'serve' their country?

(Once again, we're fucked: Thanks, Rummy!)

IN OTHER HOLLYWOOD SCRIPT-RELATED NEWS...

And don't get us started on that lucky dimwit, Halliburton truckdriver
Thomas Hamill -- who just made a "daring escape" from his 'captors'.

("Daring escape" is CNN-speak for "He walked out of an empty mud hut and
yelled 'I'm an American'"; unfortunately, he was later contacted by Jessica
Lynch's lawyer and told to cease and desist from using the first three words
of a line she trademarked a little over a year ago.)

Count the seconds before Thomas Hamill's book is published and ABC features
Billy Bob Thornton playing Hamill in a Movie of the Week.

feh.

"Why do they hate us?"

Take a wild friggin' guess, American Infidel.
