Or are you defining "America" narrowly to further your personal aims?

since you and I get along so well, i propose i be named Secretary of the Politics Board.

Recall that before the war, the White House nixed Pentagon plans to bomb Zarqawi's outfit because it didn't want to undermine the case for war. Too bad invading Iraq was more important than pursuing a terrorist like this guy.

If he didn't do it, someone else would have. It takes no unique skill, savvy or tenacity to scoop a dumb young American off the streets and slice his head off. If anything, this tape demonstrates that people like Zarqawi have been castrated.

This explains why the news media made the distinction between rape of boys and "having sex with female detainee." It's the military's distinction.

I recently read a blog of a female soldier in Iraq, who was bitching about how the army always makes the women go to "rape prevention" training, but never makes the men go. Culturally, it's still women's fault.

"Hey, she was wearing a tight burqa..."

Ahem. As Queen of the PB, that is my call.

While we have been looking for a new secretary, your inability to capitalize correctly or proofread unfortunately disqualifies you for the job. Sorry.

Perhaps dtb will tutor you and you can apply again in a few months. I am hoperful that you will make it.

Someone else hadn't done it yet. He did it.

And thank God you're not running the War on Terror. ("Let's hang it up for the day, boys. Even if we nail a few more, someone else'll take their places.")

I didn't say it makes what went on in that prison OK.

For the 15th million time, this is about getting some perspective. You Blame-America-First types sorely lack perspective in these matters.

Guys, I have no perspective over either the beheading of Nick Berg (who, by the way, sounds like he was a great guy) or over the maltreatment of Iraqi prisoners by Americans.

These acts are each individual acts of horror; they are vile and represensible and, as a society, we should yearn for justice.

These are each also individuals acts that step from broader social evils -- violent Islamic fundamentalism and rampant racism and imperialism. What is going on in Iraq right now serves the causes of each, and must stop.

Not me, stop being a fucking apologist for one of these evils.

I thought they were extras from a "Night of the Living Dead" sequel.

There is a stereotype that Canadians lack affect, but I think you're taking it too far.

Your high school had some fucked up priorities, syllabus-wise. The only things we learned about Ontario were its tomato exports and its rainfall.

ETA: I suppose the knowledge of agricultural exports was consistent with my History of Colonialism diploma program. In case you're wondering, the tomato exports and rainfall were factors in the early decision not to invade Canada's sorry, soggy ass.

This is where you are so fucked up. It is not an act of horror to put panties on someone's head. It is an act of horror to slowly saw off someone's head as they are screaming and then hold the head up to a camera. All accounts I have heard are that it wasn't a fast death.

You are one fucked up dude if you think what happened to those prisoners were horror like a beheading. Fucked up beyond help.

If there was forcible sodomy or a death by being beaten to death, that is horror. I haven't yet seen any evidence that that has occurred. Maybe it has, but I haven't seen the proof yet. There is a videotaping of the beheading.

You have no perspective on this. Now shut up because you sicken me.

The shape of these look kind of like mine except that hers hang a bit lower than mine do. I am white so my nipples are pink. The slope on the top and the cleavage look like mine. About the same size, but it is hard to tell in pictures.
