Hilarious! More ‘Get your war on’ Cartoons

You have to see these. From MNFTIU.cc:

    FirstBusinessman: Did you have a good vacation, under God?

    SecondBusinessman: I did, thanks, under God. Are you ready to have a good war with Iraq under God?

    FirstBusinessman: As ready as I’ll ever be, I guess, under God. Do we really have a choice under God?

    =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+

    FirstBusinessman: What security level comes after “Totally Apeshit?” What the hell is wrong with everyone? We’re just gonna start bombing any country we want with fucking nuclear weapons in order to DECREASE terror in the world?

    SecondBusinessman: Why doesn’t anyone like us? Don’t they want to join us on the path of peace, under God?

    FirstBusinessman: Remember when a reporter asked George W. Bush who his favorite political philosopher was, and he answered “Jesus Christ?” Do you think Jesus would have rolled over in his grave, if he hadn’t risen from it?

Hussein showing some brains…make allies with trade.

From Stratfor.com:


    Iraq’s trade minister said Aug. 1 that Iraq trade with Arab countries increased to $26 billion from $14.5 billion in December 2001, Agence France Presse reported. Egypt is Iraq’s leading trade partner, with Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Morocco, Oman, and Yemen following. The trade increase is a result largely of the establishment of free trade agreements between Baghdad and the other countries. Iraq’s growing economic relations with its Arab neighbors are an attempt from the fairly isolated country to complicate any military action by the United States. Increased relations between Iraq and other countries hinders Washington’s efforts to build a coalition in preparation for military action against Baghdad. 1814 GMT

Another FBI Agent Blows the Whistle

From LA Weekly:


    The Weekly has learned that Chicago-based special agent Robert Wright has accused the agency of shutting down his 1998 criminal probe into alleged terrorist-training camps in Chicago and Kansas City. The apparent goal of the training camps, according to confidential documents obtained by the Weekly, was to recruit and train Palestinian-American youths, who would then slip into Israel. Recruits at these camps reportedly received weapons training and instruction in bomb-making techniques in the early 1990s. The bomb-making curriculum included the sort of explosives later used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. And government documents state that two trainees came from the Oklahoma City area.

Have I missed anyone?

Study links combat, domestic violence

I’ve been in some pretty wild discussions regarding the recent murders of military wives by their husbands at Ft. Bragg. I wish I had had this story to back up some of my statements. From UPI:


    WASHINGTON, July 29 (UPI) — As authorities continue to investigate the murders of four women at Ft. Bragg, N.C., in the space of six weeks, a recent study by Yale University suggests that in at least three of the cases combat experience in Afghanistan may have had something to do with it.

    The Yale study reviewed data collected from 2,500 men between 1992 and 1994. Of those, 7 percent had been involved in combat, most of them in Vietnam. Those 7 percent were responsible for 21 percent of the cases of spousal abuse reported in the survey. …

    Reports of military domestic violence have actually declined for the last several years, but the Pentagon fears that does not mean abuse is down.

    “We believe this reduction may be partly attributed to fears of an adverse impact on career progression and underreporting by commanders and senior noncommissioned officers,” Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. John Keane wrote in a memo to Army officers in December.

US coverup of wedding massacre

The UN is keeping secret a report on the Afghan wedding massacre in which nearly 48 people were killed and 100 injured. The report is being presented to both the puppet government in Kabul and to the United States. The US has engaged in a coverup of the massacre arriving hours after the incident to clean up blood, shrapnel, and bullets. They then told the UN they needed several weeks to investigate and collect evidence no doubt paying off the poor locals and making sure everyone saw what they were supposed to.
