"NAJAF, Iraq, April 2 — Hundreds of American troops marched into town at midday today and were greeted by its residents.

"The infantry was backed by attack helicopters and bombers, and immediately destroyed several arms caches and took over a military training facility to serve as their headquarters."

THEY ARE LOVED!! These troops, these liberating SOBs, are loved.

That's why they are backed by attack helicopters and bombers. That's why they had to fight their way in. That's why both sides took casualties.

If the American military leveled your house, shot up your neighbors, bombed, rocketed and dropped artillery on your village, and then held a gun to your head with an attack helicopter hovering in the background,

you'd smile too, if that's what they wanted. (Unless you had the guts of the average Palestinian, who has these things happen and who DON'T smile back. But I think you would.)

I promise. You'd be scrambling to do WHATEVER those children with the guns and attack helicopters wanted. Yes, YOU!

But would you love 'em? Heh, heh.

Any comment about the kind of people who can pretzel their minds to believe this BS belongs on the far side of Flame.

Maybe we should have a Shame Board for you guys. Or a Blatant Propaganda Board.
