These people s*** out kids like turds,” ======== That's like something our resident war profiteering mercenary would say. It does help in our international relations doesn't it. If I remember correctly, he's just as likely to say 'islamo fascist' as 'good morning all' LOL. I'll speculate that for every one comment like that which is recorded by someone else, similar comments are said 10,000 times. Considering what their President Loser says about Iraq, it's a wonder these little thugs in training aren't doing and saying WORSE. Since they are meant to feel morally and culturally and in-every-way superior to the Muslims BY THEIR PRESIDENT, why should they worry about being culturally sensitive or, heck, even polite?

Hi JCP; Re: "The Marines have tried to teach their men some of the language. But most US soldiers know only how to say “move on” or “slow down”. They expect Iraqis to understand their hand signals — a bunched fist meaning “stop”, a hand waved palm-down meaning “slow” — and will frequently shoot to kill if confused drivers fail to respond. One is reminded of Kipling's observations back during the British empire's day: Oh, then it's open order, an' we lights our pipes an' sings, An' we talks about our rations an' a lot of other things, An' we thinks o' friends in England, an' we wonders what they're at, An' 'ow they would admire for to hear us sling the ~bat~.* An' it's best foot first, . . . everypoet.com * Language. Thomas's first and firmest conviction is that he is a profound Orientalist and a fluent speaker of Hindustani. As a matter of fact, he depends largely on the sign-language. -- Carl
