Man, things are looking troubling for Bush, especially with this Abu Ghraib prison thing. I just hope we all learned some lessons from it:
1. Don’t abuse prisoners.
2. If you do abuse prisoners, don’t take pictures of it.
3. If you do abuse prisoners and take pictures of it, don’t let those picture get into a major news outlet.
And whose idea was this? Why does someone suddenly say, “Hey! Let’s strip the prisoners naked and stack them. Nothing’s better than stacked, naked prisoners!”
So is this going to mean more Americans are going to turn against the war? When the anti-war left couldn’t convince people with saying the body count over and over, are people finally going to think Iraq was a bad idea because they saw a naked guy with a bag on his head?
Maybe; I just don’t know. I’m no pundit (though I play one on the internet), but I’m starting to get worried about there being a John Kerry presidency and what that will mean for America, the war on terror, Iraq, and, most importantly, IMAO. Will Kerry handle evil of the world with a velvet glove, or will he regain his admitted war criminal spirits and unleash his vengeance on the terrorists to the point it makes Abu Ghraib look like Disney World? Probably the former, but we can always hope.
Who am I kidding? We’re screwed! Terrorists bombs are going to be going off everywhere, and Kerry’s going to be sitting in some underground bunker finding the most nuanced approach to things with much consultation by the French. I need to get my AR-15 with 90rd. drum magazine soon and barricade my windows (though that goes against the home owner’s association). If someone is good with a sniper rifle, you can watch the golf course where I think they’ll attack from. When the attack is over, I’ll form a new government with my house being the capitol and I being el presidente. BTW, blogging may be light as I try to restore order from chaos.
Anyway, Bush better get himself out of this mess because I don’t want my blogging to be light. I hear there are even worse pictures out there, so he has to preemptively do something about them. Maybe before they come out, he could say, “Yeah, these new pictures are pretty bad… and really gay. You can see them if you want… if you’re gay.”
That will keep a lot of people from checking out the pictures. Now he needs to further turn people against Kerry. We already know he may or may not support the troops, may or may not drive an SUV, and may or may not have thrown away his war medals, but we should also let it be known that he may or may not be a hermaphrodite, may or may not be the Parkside Strangler, and he may or may not be for blowing up Americans. I’m sure it should be easy to get a little sound bite out of him as he tries to be nuanced and say in a very haughty and French-like way, “I was for blowing up Americans… before I was against it… or vice versa. By the way, I served in Vietnam.”
It’s going to be an all out slugfest as we approach November, so I’ll soon have to come up with some campaign tips for Bush to ensure victory (especially since I already did for his nemesis). Until then, just be on the safe side and stock up on ammo and not let any terrorists in your house no matter how nice they ask.
I just love how the soldiers in question say it’s their leaders’ fault because no one gave them any guidelines on how to treat the prisoners. Are they complete idiots? I’ve never had army training of any kind and yet I somehow intuit this is bad stuff upon hearing about it. It’s like a junior high excuse.
What the Hell? You’ve got a pool table and live on a golf course? Are we in a parallel universe, me and you, Frank?
Yes, I also believe they’ll attack from the golf course. I ensured my ‘bunkerablility’ by building my house in all brick. You can huff and puff…
But you’re wrong, Frank. El Jefe will be El Presidente. Why? I’ll commandeer Norfolk NOB, Langley AFB, Oceana NAS, Little Creek Amphibius Base, Fort Eustis and Camp Pendelton. The Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines will be mine! Mine, I say! I’ll rule the sky, the seas and the ground! No one will stop me! Not even if they’ve served in Vietnam, by the way.
so can we blame our loss in vietnam on kerry? can we blame all the lives we lost on him (even though more of them viets died than us)? i mean it’s the same logic they are using i mean it’s not like good ole rummy was there to stop it or something ridiculous like that. left wingers are for being gay anyways i am surprised they didn’t like those videos.

Thanks for the warning.
“I need to get my AR-15 with 90rd. drum magazine soon and barricade my windows (though that goes against the home owner’s association).”
Just claim the barricade for the windows are hurricane covers. You’re in Florida after all.
“Yeah, these new pictures are pretty bad… and really gay. You can see them if you want… if you’re gay.”
When I first saw the pictures, I was reminded of amature gay porn.
Not that I know what that looks like.
I hope kerry doesn’t get elected because of this scandal. I am not necessarily with my lefty cronies on the ax Rumsfeld bandwagon. I believe that we need to hear both sides of the story and find out who was in charge and what were the policies, were these prisoners really bad eggs and we needed information? If we are talking about stacking up naked prisoners to save American lives then get to stacking I say… but if this is a sick perverted joke then let the heads of those responsible roll. Did I mention that I hope Kerry wins because he is the better man??
matt,
The HOA is very specific on when and how long storm windows can be up.
Don’t ask, don’t tell…..and for the love of God, don’t take pictures!!!!!! Morons.
Smile It’s good to see an ally aboard!
I sure hope you can keep Howard in office, Pete,
but things don’t look promising 🙁
Thanks, jonag!
Reminds me of when the Arkansas Rapist put that into effect.
I was at work with 4 other guys and our female supervisor MSgt/E-7 (whom we referred to as Eva Braun). She purported to be a ‘born again’ and was SHOCKED whenever we cussed (daily).
Well, we were sitting around discussing the days’ events when her husband (SMSgt/E-8) comes in and announces to all of us, “Well, it’s 4:35! According to the president I can now go off base and suck cock!”
We where ROTFLOAO while she was pulling her jaw off the floor while her face coulda’ fried an egg.
I read somewhere that if the prison scandal doesn’t work, The Media will begin displaying pictures of dead Iraqi women and childer and claiming that US Soldiers did it.
You know, Frank, this story about the prisoner abuse stinks like last week’s fish. Here’s why. No matter how dim the bulb, few people will willingly pose and mug for the camera while committing felonies. I spent six years in the Armed Services and twenty-two years in law enforcement. In that twenty-eight years I saw one guy posing with the severed head of an NVA (a large frag from a 500 pound bomb took it off) and he was busted to E-1 and did thirty days in the Da Nang brig. I saw one guy posing with his pot garden and some would-be gang bangers posing with their guns. Other than that, most people avoid cameras while committing crimes.
Something smells.
Too bad the prison guards didn’t just behead the prisoners. Seems like that doesn’t get nearly the press that making someone stand naked does.
(/sarcasm)
And if I want to be lectured by Robert Byrd or Teddy Kennedy on morality, I’d rather be wearing a sheet and drunk off my ass in a car that doesn’t float.
You have an AR-15?
sweet.
I’m sorry, I still don’t understand why you would want GWB re-elected. Explain it to me again, one of you.
Because the other alternative is Kerry. Please don’t say that you actually want him.
There is no good reason to vote for Kerry, his campaign is centered around Bush, i mean, cumon Kerry, we don’t care what you think about Bush, let us know what the hell YOU are gonna do for this country. Bush can tell us his side of the story himself, we don’t need you too as well. Tell us about YOU for goodness sake. And thsts great you have 3 purple hearts, and thats great you fought in the army or watever b4, but i didn’t get the part of how that tells us what you can do for this country. Were not gonna send you to Iraq to fight or anything, wel….unless you really wanna go….which i highly doubt, because you appear kind of….nonbuff to me, or however you would like to phrase it. Another reason, Kerry believes in abortion. I dont care what you ppl say, abortion is murder. Its the same as just taking a baby from the nursery and sticking a pitchfork in its head and sucking its brains out… HEY! why dont we all do that! after all, thats what Kerry believes is okay, then he turns around and says stuff like “i believe the youth is what we sould build the nation upon” well kerry, you cant really do that when your KILLING THEM ALL! I mean, i may be too young to vote, and i may be just a teenager, but at least i can see that Bush has his head on straight, and Kerry, well, Kerry won’t help our country get through everything thsat Bush has, without Bush, the terrorism attacks would still be. omg, it took him about 7min to resond to the twin towers crash, hello ppl, thats fast, i bet it would take most of you WAY longer to divise a plan. well, im done, and you David person, thats why you should vote for Bush, o, AND because Kerry is the only other option. Goodbye, and God bless you all.
